TX Drive

TX Drive is the first harmonics stage which is a transformer saturation circuit. With a single con-

trol you can vary the amount of transformer saturation and still keep the level constant.

The circuit generates around 1% of harmonics (distortion) in the low-end and a gentle amount

of higher harmonics. It also adds a 2dB bump in the low-end around 30Hz. By turning the drive

control the bump level and higher harmonics decreases, the low-end harmonics stays around

1%.

Gain

The TX drive is followed by a gain control so you can drive the following Sat and Ge stages har-

der for more harmonics.

Sat

The second stage is a passive saturation circuit which adds a lot of odd harmonics and by enga-

ging the Even switch it also adds even harmonics. The harmonic amount depends on how hard

the stage is driven.

Ge

The third stage is an active germanium stage that adds more even than odd harmonics. It has a

pleasant vintage sound with it’s mix of harmonics and a soft high-end. Like the previous stage

the amount of harmonics depend on how hard it’s driven.

Output trim

The Sat and Ge stages are followed by an output trim to fine adjust the level before it enters the

blend control.

Blend

With the Blend control you can blend the harmonics stages signal with the dry signal.

M/S

An M/S function is provided so you can process the mid and side channels separately with

different harmonic circuits. As an example you can use the TX drive on the mid channel for more

low-end harmonics and the Sat and Ge stages for more harmonics on the side channel.

The class-A stage can’t be used in M/S as it’s placed after the M/S encoder/decoder!

Class-A

The blend control and M/S function are followed by a selectable transformer coupled class-A

stage that adds a fat and punchy sound with mid-character and a silky top end associated with

the British class-A from the early 70’s.

This stage also has a HF boost function that adds a small amount of air to the sound when acti-

vated.
