Every automatable parameter, with the name your host shows, the range, and the default.
Front panel
| Panel label | Host name | Range | Default | Reads as |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MODE | Mode | DIRECT / GROTBOX / BOOMBOX | GROTBOX | the position name |
| GROT | Anger | 0 – 100 | 0 | 0–100 |
| DAMAGE | Damage | 0 – 100 | 0 | 0–100 |
| FILTH | Filth | 0 – 100 | 0 | 0–100 |
| DRY | Dry | −inf – 0.0 dB | −inf | dB, -inf at the floor |
| WET | Wet | −inf – 0.0 dB | 0.0 | dB, -inf at the floor |
The GROT knob is called Anger in your host's automation and parameter lists. It's the same control: the panel label is the product name, the parameter name is the internal one. If you're looking for GROT in an automation menu and can't find it, that's why.
Notes on the ranges
DRY and WET run from −60 dB to 0 dB. The bottom of the range is treated as -inf, fully muted, not −60 dB. Neither can boost above unity. The scale is skewed around −12 dB so the range you actually blend in occupies the middle of the knob's travel.
THRESH is skewed around −24 dB for the same reason.
DAMAGE, GROT and FILTH are stored as 0–1 internally and displayed as 0–100. Their audible response is not linear in that number. See the individual chapters for what happens where.
Smoothing
| Parameter | Smoothing |
|---|---|
| DAMAGE, GROT, FILTH | 80 ms |
| DRY, WET, TILT, GAIN | 30 ms |
| Sidechain gate | 15 ms |
| Internal level match | 250 ms |
| MODE, SC Mode | none, discrete and instantaneous |
Filter coefficients and drive amounts are recalculated every 32 samples rather than once per host block, so a knob move steps in small increments regardless of your buffer size.
Cross-parameter behaviour
Some controls change what others do. These are deliberate.
| When you change | It also affects | How |
|---|---|---|
| GROT ↑ | DAMAGE | Advances effective damage by up to ~18% of DAMAGE's travel |
| MODE → BOOMBOX | DAMAGE | Scales breakup up by 40% |
| MODE → GROTBOX | GROT | Strain is half again what DIRECT gives; BOOMBOX sits between |
| MODE → GROTBOX | DAMAGE | Driver slap tuned high (315/630 Hz) and boosted 2.5× |
| MODE → BOOMBOX | DAMAGE | Driver slap tuned low (63/126 Hz) |
| DAMAGE ↑ | MODE | Cabinet resonances rise in level and Q |
| DAMAGE > ~60 | Level match | Stops tracking; a fixed compensation curve takes over |
| Sidechain engaged | DAMAGE, GROT, FILTH | All three ride between 0 and their set positions |
GAIN and TILT are not affected by the sidechain. DAMAGE does not feed FILTH: cone breakup is signal-related, while grime and crackle belong to neglect alone.
Saved state
Everything above is saved with your session, along with the window size. Settings are stored by parameter name, so sessions move safely between GROT versions and between AU, VST3 and AAX.
