EFFECT CHAIN PRESETS – OVERVIEW

The included signal chain presets are based on high quality effects from Overloud. You can control each preset by using a set of controls that will affect the individual parameters.

Standard:
The default sound. A very rich and fresh tone that will work perfectly in any type of contemporary pop/rock, country or classical composition. Customize the level of room reverb and compression by tweaking the controls

Raw Tweaks:
A true bypass preset that represents what the piano sounded like from the raw recording. Also, in this preset, you can adjust the level of hammer, sustain pedal and releases as well as detune the piano

Swedish Jazz:
A stunning plate reverb subtly blended with that mellow tone that will give the sound that characteristic, warm feel used on a lot of the classic jazz records

A nice spring reverb blended with a fast repeating tape delay gives this preset a great retro feel

Swedish Pop:
A chorus based preset that also includes a spring reverb for that 70s Swedish pop sound
