Overdrive, Amp models, and Mic models (OD Amp Mic)

This effect simulates the noise caused by scratches and dust on
analog  records.  It  also  reproduces  some  of  the  modulation
caused by a warped turntable.

This parameter enables you to set the depth of the modulation
caused by a warped turntable.

This parameter enables you to set the level of the click noise that
occurs once every rotation of the turntable. This simulation
reproduces record noise, and the noise generated after the music
on a vinyl record finishes.

This distortion effect utilizes an Overdrive mode and a Hi-Gain
mode. Controlling the wah effect, the 3-band EQ, and the amp
simulation  will  allow  you  to  create  versatile  distortion  sounds.
This effect is suitable for guitar and organ sounds.
