Ableton/Live/UG/29 Audio Effect Reference/27 Overdrive
- Overdrive is a distortion modeled on classic guitar pedals. It can be pushed very hard while keeping dynamic range.
- A band-pass filter before the distortion is set with an X-Y controller: vertical for bandwidth, horizontal for frequency, or use the sliders below.
- Drive — amount of distortion; 0% still distorts
- Tone — EQ after the distortion; higher is brighter
- Dynamics — at low values more distortion brings more internal compression and makeup gain; at high values less compression
- Dry/Wet — set to 100% on a return track
