Chapter 18: Empirical Labs EL7 FATSO

Tranny Level

This control determines the amount of Tranny process-
ing (see

“The Tranny Processor” on page 223

for a de-

tailed description). Higher values make the Tranny ef-
fect more prominent. Increasing the Tranny level also
increases the signal THD (see

“THD Indicators” on

page 226

), and the sensitivity of the Warmth proces-

sor (

page 227

). A value of 5 is the unity setting.

Note:

This control has no effect when the Tranny processor is inactive (see

“Bypass/Tranny” on page 228

).

LF Sat LED

The LF Sat (Low Frequency Saturation) LED indicates the amount of LF satura-
tion in the Tranny processor. Higher Tranny Level values increase the LF satu-
ration.

FATSO Jr.

Presets

When loading presets created on the FATSO Jr. into the FATSO Sr., the pa-
rameters that are unique to FATSO Sr. are set to their default control values.
The default values of the unique FATSO Sr. parameters are: Thresh-
old/Tranny knobs at 5, and Filter/Attack/Release buttons off.
