Distortion Amount -> Noob Sanity check

Rusty · 2015-03-23T11:53:03.000Z

Excuse the noob post… but slowly getting into my Rytm.

Analog circuity, noise floors and all that jazz… but I just wanted a sanity check…

FX -> Dist -> AMT : When I crank this up I get a kind of fluttering white noise… this standard behaviour?

I find this occurs on mine only when I’m really boosting the level on the Dist. It’s capable of totally mangling the output into a noisy mess when used with the Symmetry amount. When does the white noise become audible to you?

Check your comp settings, might be bringing up the noise

Sometimes, stright away… eg. on headphones kicks in around 90% to 95% of main volume using factory Pattern A01 Kit 1 Stubb

FX → Dist
AMT = 0
SYM = 0
DOV = 0
DEL = PRE
REV = PRE

If I crank AMT up to 127 becomes a lot more noticeable.

She sounds fine most of the time, and appreciate nosie floor, analog circuity etc, hence the sanity check post.
