Mars is an amp sim / delay pedal. It includes 3 neural models, 3 Impulse Responses (Cab Sim), and a delay effect with dotted 8th and triplett modes.
Neural Network inference for the amp/pedal models uses RTNeural The Impluse Response code is a modified version of the IR processing in the NAM plugin (MIT License)
Note: Due to the processing power required for the neural models and IRs, Mars is a mono effect, which on the Funbox pedal is copied left to right channel for output. If a stereo signal is going into the input, Mars will only take the left channel for processing.
| Control | Description | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Ctrl 1 | Gain | Increases the input gain to the neural model |
| Ctrl 2 | Mix | Mix control between the amp and delay |
| Ctrl 3 | Level | Overall volume output |
| Ctrl 4 | Filter | Lowpass filter left of center, highpass right of center |
| Ctrl 5 | Delay Time | Delay time 0 to 2 seconds. |
| Ctrl 6 | Delay Feedback | Delay Feedback (how long delay takes to fade out) |
