This is a brief overview of the digital processing capabilities of your new FX
™
2 mixer. While you can
expect incredible results following this guide, mastering the art of digital processing will be achieved
through experimentation. Keep in mind that until you confirm your changes by pressing "save," no
alterations have been made to the presets. Peavey engineers programmed your mixer with a variety of
the most commonly used presets, which are ready to use right out of the box. However, your FX 2 mixer
will only reach its full digital processing potential through your acquired expertise. Review the process
below and begin exploring the digital mixing world beyond factory presets.
Effects:
The Effects section of the FX mixer provides two discrete effects processors, each capable of
chaining two (2) different effects at the same time. EFX1 (left side of screen) is permanently routed to the
Aux5/EFX1 send and return bus. EFX 2 (right side of screen) is routed to the Aux6/EFX2 bus, but can be
routed from the EFX2 Patch Jack on the rear panel and routed to the insert of a single channel or inserted
into a group/bus. Effects that modify amplitude such as compressors, limiters, gates, expanders and de-
essers, when used individually, work best when inserted into channels or busses.
While they may be edited, the edited versions may not be saved in positions 0-49. Presets 50-99 are
user presets, custom and/or edited presets can be named and saved in these slots. Edited but unsaved
EFX have an “*” next to the preset number.
Selecting an Effects preset:
Press the “Effects” button to activate the Effects window. Turn the encoder
knobs until the desired preset number is in the window and press the encoder knob to “select” it. The
“Select” button will turn into a “Recall” button. Pressing it will recall the last used preset. You may press
the “Edit” button to adjust any parameters of the selected preset. You must “Save” a preset to save the
adjusted parameters.
Creating a preset:
Press the “Effects” button and turn either data knob to select any preset between 50-
99. Press “select” (flashing) and then “edit #”.
Press the “Type” button and the screen will display the DSP Library of available effects. You may scroll
through the entire list by turning the left data knob.
Rotate the data knob to highlight the effect you
wish and press “select” to add it.
Select a “style” from the available models. Press
select to choose it and then “back” to return to the
main page ... or ... cursor to another effect block and
repeat the process.
Press “edit” to adjust the parameters of the effect
types.
