Effect 2
Effect 2 offers three types of modulation effects: Phaser , Flanger and
Chorus
.
Each of these effects has 3 selectable depths in the same fashion as
the tremolo and pan in the Effects 1 section . The Rate knob control the
rate of the effect .
Speaker / Comp
This section contains the speaker/amp emulations, the rotary speaker
emulation and a compressor .
Small , JC and Twin emulates three different kinds of amplifier and
speaker cabinets . The amount of drive is controlled by the Speaker/
Comp knob .
Rotary simulates a rotary speaker including its built-in amplifier . The
knob sets the amount of overdrive of the rotary amplifier; the speed
of the rotating speaker is set with the rotary speed controls on the left
side of the panel .
Comp is a compressor that will even out the dynamics of what you
play, making low level sounds louder and high level sounds lower in
volume . This produces a tight, punchy sound and makes the overall
level easier to control in a live mix situation . When this effect is active,
the Drive/Comp knob controls the amount of compression applied .
Delay / Reverb
Hold Shift and press the selector button to toggle between Reverb and
Delay functionality . The Delay LED will be lit when the Delay is active .
The Reverb section simulates the natural sound reflections in various
acoustic environments . You can choose between five reverb types with
various lengths and densities, indicated by the three LEDs that light up
one or two at a time .
The Dry/Wet knob sets the balance between the unprocessed and the
processed signal .
The Delay effect produces echo effects . The Delay time is set with the
Up/Down buttons (20 – 750 ms) while you hold the Tempo Tap/Set
button .
The Dry/Wet knob adjusts the balance
between the dry signal and the delay
repeats .
Feedback
Press the Delay/Reverb button repeat-
edly to set the feedback, the number
of delay repeats . There are 5 feedback
settings, indicated by the Dly 1-3 array
of LEDs
Ping Pong
Holding Shift and press the Tempo Tap button to light up the Ping
Pong LED, will make the delay repeats alternate between the left and
right channels . If short delay times are used, these repeats will be
“asymmetrical” and produce delays that are more like early reflections
in reverb units .
Tempo Tap
You can use Tap Tempo to set a delay time matching the tempo of
a song . Simply tap the Tap Tempo button in the tempo you wish the
delay to sync to a number of times, and the delay time will be adjusted
automatically . As long as the Tap Tempo LED is lit, the tempo is cal-
culated - wait until it goes dark to tap in another tempo . A numerical
indication of the delay time will be briefly shown in the LED .
Gain
This is the programmable Gain control which allows you to adjust the
output level of each of the individual programs .
