EFX WIDE

Depending on the effect selected, this

switch adds more width or depth to the effect.
Note that it doesn’t work with the 

DELAY

 and

PHASER

 effects because they are monophonic.

REVERSE

: Standard reverse reverb, simulat-

ing a tail-first effect increasing to the original
note. Decay range adjustable from 35ms to
515ms. No pre-delay.

GATED

: Standard gated reverb where the

reverb tail is cut off sharply after preset decay
length. Decay range adjustable from 35ms to
515ms. No pre-delay.

CATHEDRAL

: Dense, smooth reverb with

very long tail, long pre-delay, and late reflec-
tions. Tails are very warm with some additional
high-end reflections imitating the stone walls
of a cathedral. A very dramatic effect that
works well with wind instruments such as
flute, slow finger picking on acoustic guitar,
and quiet vocal group harmony and choirs. Also
works well with keyboards and drums using
short decay. Decay range adjustable from 2 sec-
onds to 10 seconds. Pre-delay set at 75ms.

LG. HALL

: Dense, smooth reverb with long

tail, long pre-delay, and some early reflections.
Tails are warm with more apparent high end.
Works well with vocals and electric and acous-
tic guitar. Decay range adjustable from 1
second to 5 seconds. Pre-delay set at 75ms.

MD. HALL

: Dense, smooth reverb with nor-

mal tail, normal pre-delay, and increased early
reflections. Tails are warm with more apparent
high end. Works well with vocals and electric
and acoustic guitar. Decay range adjustable
from 750ms to 2.5 seconds. Pre-delay set at
65ms.

LG. PLATE

: Good early reflections and no

pre-delay. Tails are normal and warm with
strong high end for increased presence. Perfect
for vocals and snare. Decay range adjustable
from 1 second to 5 seconds. No pre-delay.

MD. PLATE

: Good early reflections and no

pre-delay. Tails are short and warm with strong
high end for increased presence. Perfect for
tight vocals and snare. Decay range adjustable
from 750ms to 2.5 seconds. No pre-delay.

SM. ROOM

: Reverb featuring very fast and

scattered early reflections with a short pre-
delay. Tails are very short and warm with
normal high-end imitating absorbent wall
materials and audience. Good for tight vocal
effects. Decay range adjustable from 250ms to
1 second. Pre-delay set at 30ms.

SPRING

: Mimics the vintage 60's-style wet

spring reverb effect. Tails are normal with
strong high end and a slight waver imitating
the slow flutter of the mechanical spring sys-
tem. Very good with acoustic guitar. Decay
range adjustable from 1 second to 5 seconds.
No pre-delay.

Preset Effects Descriptions

Reverbs

The reverbs are designed to provide a wide

variety of reverb sounds for vocal and instrument
applications. The 

TIME/RATE PARAMETER

 

controls the length of the tail, with the shortest
tail at the 

0

 position and the longest tail at 

10

.

The 

DAMPING/DEPTH PARAMETER

 

controls the damping, with the darkest tone at 

0

and the brightest tone at 

10

. The 

EFX WIDE

 

switch is very effective at increasing the stereo
image of the reverb effect in the stereo versions
and enhancing reverb density in mono versions.
