HOW TO USE THE FX:
- rotate the SELECTOR knob (21) to choose the type of effect (preset) you want to use; rotating the knob the
number on the display scrolls and flashes. After you have chosen the effect, press the SELECTOR (21): the
preset will be loaded and the number on the display will remain fixed.
- send the signal to the effect with the FX control (9) of the channel you want to add the effect to;
- rotate the FX LEVEL (25) knob until you hear the effect added to the original signal;
- adjust the FX controls (9) just before the signal input clipping indicated by the peak led (24);
- re-adjust the FX LEVEL (25) knob to combine the wet effected signal with the natural dry signal.
PRESET DESCRIPTION:
p 00-09. HALL – This type of reverb simulates the ambience of a concert hall varying its size from larger to
smaller. Dense, smooth reverb with long pre delay and a lot of high frequency reflections. Works well
with vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, strings and woodwinds.
p 10-19. ROOM – This type of reverb reproduces the more intimate ambience of natural room acoustics. It
features a lot of early reflections with a few of high frequency. Emulating two different type of rooms
and scaling their size from bigger to smaller (10-14 and 15-19), works well with vocals, fingered
guitars, drums.
p 20-29. PLATE – This is a simulation of classic '70s and '80s metal plate reverbs, starting with a longer tail
scaling to shorter tail. Works well with vocals, and any instrument in order to achieve the vintage
sound of many recordings.
p 30-39. MONO DELAY – Typical echo + feedback effect with decreasing delay times.
p 40-49. STEREO DELAY – Typical echo + feedback effect with ping-pong of left and right channels with
decreasing delay times.
p 50-59. FLANGER – Creates a strong sweeping effect with decreasing times, particularly effective on rock
electric guitar, lead and rhythm.
p 60-69. CHORUS – Provides a soft, ethereal sweeping effect with decreasing times, perfect for
enhancement of electric and acoustic guitar and bass. Also adds a dramatic effect to vocals,
particularly group harmonies and choirs.
p 70-79. DELAY+REV - Typical reverb and echo effect combined together with decreasing times.
p 80-89. REV - Typical reverb and modulation effect combined together with decreasing times.
p 90-99. REV – Typical reverb and modulation effect combined together with decreasing times.
22. FX DISPLAY number
This display shows the number of the currently loaded preset. When rotating the FX selector, the display
scrolls the numbers and flashes until the new preset is confirmed by pressing the FX selector knob.
23. EFFECT MUTE button
Engage this switch if you want to mute the signal outgoing from the internal effect to the MAIN MIX.
24. EFFECT PEAK/MUTE detector
This LED shows 2 conditions:
• always lighted = signals that the effect is MUTED.
• flashing = signals a too high input level, near to the overload of the effect input stage that can cause
audible distortion. In this case, reduce the level of the FX sends.
25. FX LEVEL control
It adjusts the level of the internal effect signal sent to the MAIN MIX outputs.
