Crunch parameter?

[luke]

Have we gotten clarification on what it is exactly?

Controls how crunchy things get.

And he did it again! Hahahaha

So that is it official. The 'Crunch' parameter adds crunchy-ness.

But......will it stay crunchy even when the Milk parameter is engaged?

LOL

Marketing gimmick. It does nothing at all except contribute to your own cognitive biases, as well as generating smart-assed comments.

For real though ... it'd be nice to know what this is actually altering!

 

[aziz]

It's also very different with different amps.

It alters the amount of crunch. Higher settings yield more crunch. Lower settings yield less crunch.

I've also noticed that when I leave the parameter somewhere between low and high I get these inbetween crunches!

I'll be here all week. Be sure to tip your waitress. And don't forget to try the veal.

Cliff, what does the treble knob do?

Obviously Cliff doesn't want to say so as not to give away some of the G3 magic. Understood.

On a Plexi it seems like it adds more sponginess than crunch. Turning it up on a lead tone can make the upper midrange soften after the initial attack (very cool). IMHO. YMMV. Yada yada.

I'm sure the OP was just expecting a more lab coat type answer. No need to gang up on him. sheesh. We usually get such detailed explanations for every little parameter on the AXE FX. Although from a non-science point of view it does seem to increase crunchiness with higher values, and decrease it with lower values. I believe it sets the specs for the in-line of the rotary .girder...I'm retarded.

It's crunch time!

Can someone e plain the difference between the terms crunch and distortion? I never know what they are

 

[chris]

crunch is a quality of distortion.

also a tasty new treat from Taco Bell:

There is quite a change in the way the amp's distortion decays when adding loads of crunch. Set the Crunch dial to 100 and you get uber-crunch, very saturated especially on the decay.
