so i have been all over the forum finding info on how to generate distortion and i happened on this 12ax7 so far the only way i have found to drive it into OD or distortion is to limit it with very small amounts e.g . 0.000004 this then needs to be reboosted to make the signal audible is there a better or different way of using the 12ax7 to do this

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
