L1402FX-USB Owner's Manual
EFFECTS SECTION
The Harbinger L1402FX-USB includes a great-sounding digital effects processor. This chapter explains how to use it.
PRESET
The L1402FX-USB Effects Processor has 16 presets. Each of these is
a different effect type. The preset names are listed on the top of the
mixer. They are explained in further detail below.
VARIABLE PARAMETER
This knob changes the character of the effect depending on the
effect type. It either changes the length of a reverb, the feedback/
repeat amount of a delay, or the depth of a modulation effect. See
the preset descriptions below for more information on how this
control works.
TAP
On effects presets with delay, press this button twice to set the
delay time. This is useful for setting the delay time in tempo with the
music. If you want a quarter note delay, press the Tap button on
two successive beats of the music and the delay time will jump to
that tempo.
SIGNAL/CLIP LEDS
These show the level going to the input of the effects processor.
When you send a channel to the effects processor, using the FX
knob, you should see the green Sgn light turn on. If the level gets
too high, you'll see the red Clip LED turn on. If this happens, turn
down the Aux 2 Send knobs on each channel to avoid distorting
the effects.
