2: Modulation Effect

Modulation Effect Type
≤
off, Flanger, Pitch Change, Distortion.
Selects the type of effect to be produced by the modulation effect stage. The effect
types and their parameters are individually described on the following pages. No effect
parameters appear when the modulation effect stage is turned “
off
”.
This type of effect is created by slightly delaying the sound and
periodically varying the delay time. The delayed signal is then added to
the direct signal causing a variable comb-filter effect which results in
the familiar “swishing” flanger sound.
A dual pitch change effect which can be used in the Mono mode, in
which both pitch-shifted notes appear on both channels, or the Stereo
mode in which one pitch-shifted note appears on the left channel and
the other on the right. The pitch of the two pitch-shifted notes can be
set over a two-octave range — from one octave below to one octave
above the input note.
An extremely versatile distortion effect which offers transistor, vintage
tube, fuzz and other distortion types, a variety of speaker types, and a
comprehensive range of other parameters that can be used to refine
the distortion sound.
