I was interested in finding some description of the different Character modes. Couldn't find it in the MIO User Guide. Not sure what Transformer, Boutique Tube, or Valve are doing, and which strip it is best to activate them in.
thanks, Bill

The Character models can be applied to any input, bus or output. The saturation models have a more noticeable effect and are commonly used on mix buses, while many of the other models are subtle and should be applied to inputs across a mix. There are no hard and fast rules as to how they should be used.
Here are descriptions of the devices that were modeled:
• Transformer: Applies the harmonic distortion signature of a transformer-coupled input.
• Valve: A tube-based EQ input stage.
• FET: Model of a solid state (transistor) front end.
• Soft Sat: Tube-based EQ with saturation.
• Boutique Tube: Hand-made tube mic pre.
• American Transformer 1: A variation of the "Transformer" model.
• American Transformer 2: Second variation of the "Transformer" model.
• California Tube Mic: American designed tube mic pre.
• California Tube Line: American designed tube line input.
• Modern Tube DI: Mastering quality tube DI.
• Modern Tube EQ: Mastering quality EQ.
• Modern Tube Soft Sat: Mastering quality EQ with saturation.
• Modern Tube LG: A tube mic pre with a low gain setting.
• Modern Tube MG: A tube mic pre with a medium gain setting.
• Modern Tube HG: A tube mic pre with a high gain setting.
• Modern Tube Sym: Mastering quality EQ
• Modern Tube Soft Sat: Mastering quality tube mic pre with saturation.
• Classic British Mic Pre: A favorite large console mic pre.
• American Solid State: FET mastering EQ.
• California Vocal Box: Transformer coupled tube vocal processor.
• California Vocal Box Drive: Transformer coupled tube vocal processor with increased gain.
• British Mic Pre Clone: A popular clone of a favorite British mic pre.
