EFFECTS PAGE

The 'Effects' page contains controls for the chorus / flanger and
stereo delay effects built into your PRO-12 ASB.

Chorus / Flanger

Flanger
This switch toggles between the chorus and flanger effects.

Rate
Controls the speed of the chorus / flanger modulation.

Depth
Sets the intensity of the modulation.

Phase
Sets the phase of the modulation from 0 to 180 degrees.

Feedback
Controls the amount of feedback (regeneration).

Dry / Wet
This controls the mix balance between the dry and effected signals
- a maximum setting gives 100% chorused / flanged sound with no
dry signal.
