- System Requirements:

    - Hardware:  Intel Pentium 1.7 GHz and above or 
		 AMD Athlon 1800 and above 
		 128 MB RAM
		 XVGA Video Card (High Color 1024x768)
	         Low-latency Sound Card

    - Platform:  Microsoft Windows

    - Software:  VST 2.0 compliant Host Application



- Sampling Frequencies Supported:

    -  44100Hz   48000Hz 
       88200Hz   96000Hz
      176400Hz  192000Hz


- Installation:  Copy the Juicy77.DLL file into the  
	       	 VstPlugins folder of your host 
		 application.


- Remarks:

    - Automatically switches to bypass mode in the case
      of insufficient memory or unsupported sampling
      frequency.	

    - Loudspeaker cabinet simulator section requires a 
      block size which is divisible by two at sampling 
      frequencies 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz; and a block size 
      which is divisible by four at sampling frequencies 
      176.4 kHz or 192 kHz. Automatically disengages 
      itself in the case of incompatible block size.

- Hints:

    - Clicking on the BTE logo displays version information 
      and switches the knobs to circular mode. In the same 
      way, clicking on the Juicy77 logo displays version 
      information and switches the knobs to linear mode. 
      Default knob behavior is linear.

    - Thump parameter sets the cutoff frequency of the
      high-pass filter before the preamplifier. Therefore
      it adjusts the amount of low frequency content 
      (i.e. low-end thump) passing thru the amplifier.
      Lower settings increase muddiness while higher
      settings increase juiciness. This is one of the
      most important parameters that determine the sound
      and feel of an amplifier.

    - Input Sensitivity parameter compensates level
      differences between single coil and humbucker 
      pickups.

    - In order to obtain "crystal" clean sounds the
      Preamp Drive parameter should be set very low.
      This prevents clipping in the preamplifier section.

    - Noise performance of Juicy77 is directly dependent
      on the noise performance of the sound card. Some 
      sound cards are rather quiet while others are not. 
      Therefore noise gating before or after Juicy77 is
      highly recommended for high noise sound cards.
