DISTORTION (PANEL)
TYPE
Here’s a rundown on the various DISTORTION
modes:
modes:
- OFF The signal is not processed.
- LIGHT, SOFT, MIDDLE, HARD Different an-
alog distortion curves with different charac-
teristics and intensities.
teristics and intensities.
- DIGITAL Digital distortion with hard clipping.
- SHAPER Sine characteristic curve with sev-
eral wave cycles. With the Shaper, you can
drastically warp signals. In some cases, the
results are similar to the spectra of linear fre-
quency modulations.

- RECTIFIER Continuous rectification of the
signal; this type of distortion is independent
of the given level.

- BITREDUCER Continuous reduction of the
digital signal’s bit depth; generates digital
quantization noise.

- RATEREDUCER Continuous reduction of

- LOWPASS 1-pole low-pass filter for moder-
ate processing of high frequencies.
- HIGHPASS 1-pole high-pass filter for mod-
erate processing of low frequencies.

INTENSITY
For the distortion curves, this intensity range is
equivalent to a gain boost of 12 decibels, in the
case of the ”Digital” curve as much as 24 deci-
bels. A special feature of the VIRUS’ SATURA-
TION stage is that, despite the fact that its gain
is boosted, the signal level is kept constant so
that only the tonal color or timbre of the sound
is varied.
