What is dynamic distortion

Added in firmware 20 for the Axe-Fx III.

This effect distorts the input signal dynamically, applying more distortion to different frequency ranges depending upon the shape of the filter. When the signal level is low the output will be the same as the input. As the signal level increases more distortion will occur in those bands boosted by the filter shape. This is a powerful tool for final shaping/mastering of your tone.

The block contains a handful of presets which demonstrate the basic technique.
