ABOUT MODULES AND THE EFFECT CHARTS
The Studio Quad V2's diverse selection of effect Modules allows you to achieve nearly endless combinations of
effects and routings. To accomplish that goal, we've supplied you with several different module types in an effects
configuration. The processing resources are divided one of four ways. Fig. 3-1 below uses pies to represent the pos-
sible resource division combination of the S-DISC.
Figure 3-1 The Resource Pies
Each section of the pies represents a different size Module in an effects configuration. In the diagram, there are three
different slice sizes: quarter, half, and whole. Likewise, the Module sizes available in the Studio Quad V2 are Quarter
(module type =
4th
), Half (module type =
HLF
), and Whole (module type =
FUL
). A FUL module type offers
effects with more flexibility and power than the HLF modules, and so on, but all sizes of FX Modules feature very
high quality effects, so you don’t have to worry if you need to divide the Studio Quad V2 pie four ways. For a com-
plete list of these FX Types, see pg. 36. For a complete list of effect configurations, see pg. 37.
There are three basic types of FX Modules: Mono, Dual, and Stereo. Fig 3-2 illustrates what the signals do as they
enter the Module. Although all three Modules are shown with stereo inputs, they can still be used with a mono
source (such as input one of the Studio Quad V2). The mono source would just be routed to both sides of the
Module’s inputs. Notice how the Dual FX Module maintains stereo compatibility while the mono FX Module always
sums the signals together.

DIGITAL AND ANALOG EFFECT LIST
A vast palette of Digital and Analog effects lies within the Studio Quad V2, all of which are Studio quality. The fol-
lowing are the Effects available: Reverbs, Choruses, Flangers, Phasers, Rotary Speaker Simulator, Tremolo, Auto-
Panner, Pitch Shifters, Detuners, Delays (Digital and Analog), Equalizers, Noise Gate, and Compressor.
ABOUT THE CHARTS
All the effects and Parameters found in the Studio Quad V2 are described in detail in the following group of charts.
Each chart is preceded by brief descriptions of the effects functions and description. Module names appear in the top
left corner of the chart with a vertical column of check boxes extending directly below. If the box is checked, the
Parameter appears in the Module.
Two Effect Types will be missing from these charts: Mute and Thru. These two Effect Types have no parameters and
simply function as their names imply. The Mute type keeps all signals from passing through an Effect module while
the Thru type allows only the dry signals to pass through a module.
