Let There Be Distortion… TONEBUG DISTORTION Let there be distortion… When guitarists in the early ’60s started experimenting with distortion, it took rock music to a whole new level. The earliest attempts were crude, with some guitarists even slitting their amp speakers to get a “fuzzy” sound. But amplifier makers eventually figured out how to “overdrive” a main amp with a hot signal from a preamp to bring true distortion to the world of rock. Simply classic Tonebug Distortion is a phenomenal-sounding pedal that delivers gobs of rich, tubey- sounding distortion you’ll recognise instantly as a fundamental ingredient of classic guitar rock. And it couldn’t be easier to use. A simple Gain knob lets you choose how dirty you want to get, while a Tone knob lets you tune the timbre of your distortion – from a muted bluesy crunch to a searing wail that’ll slice through anything in its way. T-Rex tone Like our Tonebug Reverb and Overdrive pedals, Tonebug Dis- tortion delivers the same leg- endary T-Rex tone that’s made our top-end products a fixture on the pedal boards of guitar greats around the world (see our website for recent T-Rex sightings). That, combined with cool retro design and rugged construction, makes Tonebug Distortion a pedal you just won’t want to play without.

MetaFlanger is an audio plug-in that can be used to produce a variety of classic tape flanging, vintage phas- er emulation, chorusing, and some unexpected effects. It can emulate traditional analog flangers,fill out a simple sound, create intricate harmonic textures and even generate small rough reverbs and effects. The following pages explain how to use MetaFlanger. MetaFlanger’s Graphic Interface 2 MetaFlanger Manual Chapter 2 - Quick Start For mixing, you can use MetaFlanger as a direct insert and control the amount of flanging with the Mix control. Some applications also offer sends and returns; either way works quite well. 1 When you insert MetaFlanger, it will open with the default settings (click on the Reset button to reload these!). These settings produce a basic classic flanging effect that’s easily tweaked. 2 Preview your audio signal by clicking the Preview button. If you are using a real-time system (such as TDM, VST, or MAS), press ‘play’. You’ll hear the flanged signal.
