User manual LINE 6 DM4 DISTORTION MODELER

[. . . ] While many of these effects add obvious swirl and swoosh, you may have missed the humble effect of the Micro Amp. This box was used by many a guitar god to "push" the front-end of their non-master volume tube amp, helping them to achieve that cranked sound at a somewhat-less than stadium level. Our model delivers the same "goose the input of the amp" experience and serves up a little secret sauce on the side. Careful tweaking of these knobs will allow you to season your tone with EQ, and then add some compression strangely reminiscent of a Dyna Comp. [. . . ] Born and bred in the late '70s, the Rat was the beginning of a new generation of distortion boxes. With a sound that was angrier and more aggressive than a fuzz, the Rat put teeth into a new breed of metal that was beginning to crawl to the surface. Through its lifespan, the Rat has seen several changes, and the unanimous choices for tone are the originals pictured here. Inside, these two Rats use the same board, and their circuits are identical. (For those that need to know, we modeled the smaller one. ) The MID knob functions like the original Rat's "filter" control, which gives you brighter tone at lower settings, and darker tone at higher settings. Once bitten, you'll know why we call this one tone with teeth!

DM4 Distortion Modeler Colordrive ­ Based on the Colorsound Overdriver. Maybe you could ask Jeff Beck or any of the other guitar greats who hung around London's Macari's Music Exchange in 1965. Born out of the demand for Tone Benders, brothers Larry and Joe Macari started building pedals under the name Sola/Colorsound. Sola also made pedals for Marshall (the Supa Fuzz), Park (Fuzz Sound), and Vox (the three knob Tone Bender). Our model oozes vintage tone, and will transport you instantly back to that breeding ground of British guitar heroes. Don't be surprised if you smell incense burning!

Take a deep breath and repeat: "I can't get no (duh, duh, duh) Satisfaction. " If you have an ear that works, you've definitely heard this one. Legend has it that the sound of this pedal was inspired by a broken and buzzing mixer channel heard in Nashville in 1961. Not long after that, a circuit was designed to re-create the "fuzzy sound effect" and a new era was born. Notable Fuzz Tone users include The Door's Robbie Krieger, Yes's Steve Howe, and of course, Keith Richards. No collection of classic trash-tone would be complete without the relentless buzzing of the Maestro Fuzz Tone. And thanks to your DM4, Satisfaction is guaranteed.

DM4 Distortion Modeler Facial Fuzz ­ Based on the Arbiter Fuzz Face. Sometime in late 1966, this infamous circular stompbox hit the London music scene. Designed and built by Arbiter Music, the Fuzz Face would soon begin its famous association with guitar legend Jimi Hendrix. [. . . ] It's just what you need to give those Moog players fits ­ deep fat square wave distortion with enough grind and glory to shame any analog synth. The Roctave Divider pedal made a name for itself by combining a double octave shift with fuzz capability. Our model gives you that same kind of octave shift-plus-fuzz experience, but with our own particular flavor of fuzz for the fuzz part of the experience. Our model includes BASS and TREBLE tone controls, and the MID knob allows you to blend in just the right amount of the lower octave effect. [. . . ]
