Human Gear Animato (Celine Designer)

This is a capture of a Human Gear Animato schematic built on Céline Audio's circuit simulator. This software emulates (pretty well!) the behaviour of audio gear and pedals. For niche pedals like the Animato it is PERFECT. The schematic is from Aion FX (Polaris Distortion/Sustainer) and is replicated faithfully within Céline. I had to change one capacitor though because in the simulator it was overloading and producing pops. It sounds good to me, it has that Muse vibe, I haven't been able to compare it to a real capture though. Captures were made using 16x oversampling for maximum quality. The layout is as follows : BIAS : This is a switch on the original pedal. It changes the gain and EQ slightly. B - Boost. This controls the gain of the treble booster which is first in the circuit. D - Distortion. This is the amount of signal going into the Big Muff part of the circuit. T - Tone. This is a simple high pass/low pass tone knob. I leave it at noon. It's near the end of the chain so if you want to emulate the effect it has just put an EQ after the pedal. V - Volume. As this is fully digital I don't touch that and leave it at noon. This pedal was made famous by Chris Wolstenholme from Muse during the early days. It sounds really great.
