Booster (Booster Gain)
If the Type parameter has been set to 3 or 4, you can adjust
how strongly the Booster will function. The Booster amplifies
the incoming signal, causing it to distort. This creates an
effect similar to the distortion often used on an electric
guitar.

Ring Modulator
The Ring Modulator multiplies two Tones together,
creating a new sound that includes overtones
(inharmonic overtones) that were not present in either
of the two original Tones. Since the pitch difference
between the two Tones will change the overtone
structure, the result will be an unpitched metallic
sound. This is especially suitable for creating bells and
other metallic sounds.
