The Effects
55
TIME -
Sets the delay time of the tap.
TEMPO -
Locks the delay time to the global tempo. For example, if the global tempo is 120 bpm
and the tempo is set to a quarter note (1/4) then the time will be 500 ms (one echo per beat). To
ignore the global tempo set the tempo control to
NONE
.
LEVEL -
Sets the volume level of the tap.
FEEDBACK -
Sets the amount of delay feedback. This controls how many repeats are heard. The
total of all feedbacks must add up to 100% or less.
PAN -
Controls the placement of the echoes in the stereo image. Note that this is different than the
PAN control on the MIX page which controls the panning of the mixed sound. This control only
effects the wet signal.
DETUNE -
Sets the amount of pitch detune for the delay line for the Plex Detune and Plex Shift
types.
SPLICE LEN -
Sets the splice time for the detuners. Longer times are smoother but less precise.
DIRECTION -
Sets direction of the pitch shifter. Reverse can be used for atmospheric textures.
CROSSFADE -
Sets the amount of overlap in the audio snippets. A low setting will make the echoes
more discrete whereas a high setting will tend to smear the echoes.
SHIFT -
Sets the amount of pitch shift for the delay line for the Plex Shift type.
FREQ -
Sets the center frequency of the delay line output filter.
Q -
Sets the ‘Q’ of the delay line output filter. Higher values result in narrower bandwidth. The
Axe-Fx uses a constant power algorithm so higher Q’s increase the gain of the filter. As such, use
caution as overloads could result with some program material.
LFO RATE -
Controls the frequency of the Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO). Use low settings with
higher depths for slow moving sounds. Increase the rate for vibrato effects. Set fully CCW to sync
the LFO to the Global LFO1 oscillator.
LFO TEMPO -
Locks the rate to the global tempo. For example, if the global tempo is 120 bpm and
the tempo is set to a quarter note (1/4) then the LFO rate will be 2 Hz (120 bpm / 60 seconds = 2).
To ignore the global tempo set the tempo control to
NONE
.
LFO DEPTH -
Sets the maximum delay variation. Higher depths increase the amount of detuning.
Usually the rate and depth settings should be varied inversely, i.e. if you increase the rate decrease
the depth however some unique sounds can be obtained using high rates and depths.
FDBK SEND -
Sets the feedback send tap for the Quad-Series type.
FDBK RET -
Sets the feedback return tap for the Quad-Series type.
