Part 6: Editing Effects
102 QS7.1/QS8.1 Reference Manual
[110] — OVERDRIVE (CONFIGURATION 5 ONLY)
The Overdrive effect provides four parameters spread across four editing pages. It is
only used in Configuration #5.
OVERDRIVE TYPE
Range of Settings: Hard or Soft Page 1
The Soft Overdrive has less gain and provides slightly less distortion than the Hard
Overdrive. Another difference is that the Hard setting will only provide distortion
when the signal feeding the Overdrive effect is above the Overdrive Threshold
setting (see below). However, with the Soft setting there will still be a slight bit of
distortion if the signal is below the Overdrive Threshold setting.
OVERDRIVE THRESHOLD
Range of Settings: 00 to 99 Page 2
This parameter sets the level which the signal must reach before the Overdrive effect
will begin distorting. But it works differently than you might expect: A higher value
means a lower Threshold. So with a high number, it doesn’t take much input before
the Overdrive effect will start to distort. When set to a low number, the distortion
will not occur until the signal becomes louder than the Threshold setting.
OVERDRIVE BRIGHTNESS
Range of Settings: 00 to 99 Page 3
This parameter sets the tone of the Overdrive effect. Higher numbers result in a
brighter sounding overdrive. Lower numbers result in a duller distortion sound.
OVERDRIVE BALANCE
Range of Settings: CLN<99OVDR to CLN99>OVDR Page
4
This controls the output mix of the Overdrive effect. When set to “<99”, the
Overdrive effect cannot be heard at all. When set to “<0>”, you have an even mix
between the original, uneffected signal and the overdriven signal. When set to
99>”. only the overdriven effect is heard.
