Wet/Dry Ratio
With the Wet/Dry ratio you can make an effects block pass its input sig-
nal
unaltered
(
0% wet
) or have none of the original signal present – all
effect (
100% wet
). Or you can have half original signal, half effect (
50% wet
). And so on. Press
PARAMETER
page 2
LEVELS {FXA MIX}
or
{FXB MIX}
to alter this parameter.
Be aware that there is also a
“global” wet/dry control in the
LEVELS
area that controls how much of the dry input signal will mix with the signal coming
out of the DSP chip (the output of both effects blocks via their routing). The global wet/dry control will not change from pro-
gram to program and might be more suited to a guitarist’s needs than those described here.
see page 22
Output Level
The output of each effects block can be attenuated to achieve just the
right blend of effects. Press
PARAMETER
page 2
LEVELS {FXA LVL}
or
{FXB LVL}
to alter this parameter.
Be aware that there is also “global” level at-
tenuation in the
LEVELS
area.
see page 22
Bypassing Effects Blocks
You can bypass an effects block by toggling
PARAMETER
<FXA: ON>
to
<FXA: OFF>
. The same thing works for effects block B (
FXB
). The bypass
status of an effects block is saved and loaded with the program.
To avoid confusion, if either FXA or FXB has been explicitly bypassed by these controls, the red
BYPASS
light will flash. Of course, if the system as a whole is bypassed, you’ll not be able to see it …..
Loading Different Algorithms into Effects Blocks
You load different algorithms into an effects block of the currently loaded program by selecting a pro-
gram that already contains the algorithm you want. Think of it as stealing the algorithm and its parameter
values. Since programs 100 to 199 represent the raw algorithms themselves, loading a “raw algorithm” is
just a special case of the more general procedure. See the separate “Eclipse Algorithms” document for
more information about the Eclipse’s algorithms.
First things first: if you want to load an algorithm into effects block B
(
FXB
) make sure
PARAMETER
page 2
(ROUTING)
is something
other
than
xfade
, as this routing restricts a program to only one effects block.
To load a new algorithm, first go to
PARAMETER
page 3.
Use
PARAMETER
page 3
(PROGRAM)
to select the program that you
would like to “steal” the algorithm from. In this case, we’re going to
steal from
RingPongRoom
.
If the program you’re stealing from uses
both
of its effects blocks (many
don’t), you can use
PARAMETER
page 3
(BLOCK)
to select which block
contains the algorithm you’d like to steal. Here we can steal
m_ringtaps
from effects block A, or we can turn the knob to steal
reverb 8
from ef-
fects block B.
Finally, press
PARAMETER
page 3
<LOAD FXA>
to load the above-selected algorithm into effects block A
(
FXA
) of
the currently loaded program,
or press
PARAMETER
page 3
<LOAD FXB>
to load the above-
selected algorithm into effects block B (
FXB
) of
the currently loaded program
.
