Frequency UnKnown Buzz Machine

Name: Absolut

Type: Effect/Distortion

Parameters: Threshold, Inertia, Normalise?, Flip Mode

About: This is a full wave rectifier machine. Threshold is the value (less than or equal to zero) below which the signal will be mirrored. This creates a mild distortion noise that sounds particularly good when two signals are being mixed together just before the effect. Inertia allows slow fading between threshold levels. Normalise will perform a post normalising step on the input when the effect determines that the dynamic range goes down. Flip mode is a switch between distortion types. In 'nice' mode the signal is full wave rectified as stated before. In nasty mode there is an offset which makes for a much harsher sound.
