Distortion effect
A clipping distortion for FX I or FX II; M1 sets the drive into it, the clipping amount and low and high cuts that shape what enters it.
Drive sets how hot the signal hits the distortion, clip how hard it is clipped. Because the two cuts sit in front of the clipping, trimming the lows keeps bass from turning to mud, and trimming the highs gives a darker, smoother crunch. As a send, it lets you add dirt to a drum bus or a lead by degrees while the dry track stays clean.

The distortion clips the signal it receives, adding grit and harmonics.

Low cut (
E3) and high cut (E4) act on the input, trimming bass and treble before the clipping rather than after it. - checked on a unit · 1.1.33
The unit lists the effect as dist, and its columns read drive, clip, lo cut and hi cut — the guide's amount is labelled clip.
