Extended Drive Demo

2023-04-20

This is a short demo of what kind of sounds the Extended Drive can produce.

The signal chain is Guitar -> Interface -> Extended Drive -> Convolv2 (IR) -> (reverb).

The Impulse Responses (IR) used in these sound samples came from the Little Cubes IR Pack by David Maxim Micic.

All sound samples have been normalized to -23 LUFS as recommended by EBU R 128.

Unless stated otherwise, the settings are the same as those that were used on the first high gain 7-string guitar example (except for bass).

"No processing" means the sound was not processed with the Extended Drive. The samples still include the IR.

Examples

High gain 7-string guitar riffing

• No Processing
• Processed

Bass dry & wet mixed

• No Processing
• Dry
• Wet
• Dry & Wet mixed

Noise Gate

100dB of pre gain was used with processed samples.

Sustained Chord

• No Processing
• No Gate
• Gate @-70dB

Staccato Chords

• No Processing
• No Gate
• Gate @-70dB

Filters

• Base settings
• Filter @10Hz
• Filter @2000Hz
• Tone @0
• Tone @1

Bias

With hard clipping a high DC bias causes half wave rectification but with soft clipping only the peaks have enough amplitude to »escape» the soft clipping region. This is why particularly high values of Bias Gain sound »bad».

• Bias @-100dB
• (WARNING: MAY SOUND BAD) Bias @-20dB
