What is this effect for?

Adds breakup that responds to picking strength.

Try listening

Turn off ambience. Play the same phrase with low, medium, and high Drive. Use Level to match loudness, then compare the effect before the amp.

Things to watch

The Overdrive block has no dry Blend. A clear fundamental does not prove that a clean path is leaking; check Direct Monitor and any dry branches if a separate original sound is audible.

Open the definition on a control label to understand its function. The same label can mean different things in different effects. Compare the active and bypassed sound at similar levels.
