LEVEL
– As you would expect, the
LEVEL
controls set the output level of a block. Almost all
LEVEL
controls have
a range from -80.00 to +20.00 dB. Exceptions include the Compressor and Filter (+/-20.00 dB) and the Drive,
which ranges from 0-10 dB.
BALANCE
– Determines how the mixed signal of a block will appear at its two outputs. A centered
BALANCE
setting of 0.0 results in both left and right signals being at full volume. As the control is turned either way from
the center position, the opposite channel gets quieter. Both the wet and the dry are affected.
BYPASS MODE
– Determines exactly what happens when a block is bypassed. The different options, not all
of which are available for every block, are detailed below.
MUTE IN
–When the block is bypassed, its inputs are disconnected,
silencing the dry immediately but allowing existing effect “tails” to ring.
New signals are prevented from entering the effect until it is re-engaged.
MUTE OUT –
When the block is bypassed, its inputs remain connected,
but its outputs are muted. With this setting, effect tails are silenced when
the block is bypassed, but
signals can still enter before it
is switched on.
MUTE FX IN –
When the block
is bypassed, the inputs to its
internal Effect Processor are
disconnected. This allows
effect “tails” to ring and leaves
the dry unaffected when the
block is bypassed. The Dry is completely unchanged—
LEVEL
and
BALANCE
settings remain in effect.
MUTE FX OUT –
When the block is bypassed, the outputs of its internal processor are pulled, but dry signal is
totally unaffected. With this setting, signals can enter a reverb or delay before it is engaged.
MUTE
– When the block is bypassed, wet and dry are totally silenced.
THRU
– When bypassed, the block is completely disengaged. None of its parameters have any effect on the
sound; it behaves exactly as a shunt would in its place.
With
BYPASS MODE
settings of “MUTE FX IN” or “MUTE FX OUT,” the
LEVEL
and
BALANCE
controls will still affect
the dry signal when a block is bypassed.
The MODIFIER slot of the
BYPASS MODE
parameter does not actually connect to the bypass mode parameter,
but to the block’s BYPASS SWITCH (the same one that the
button controls).
IMPORTANT:
When a modifier is attached to this switch, it becomes the ONLY way that you can bypass
or engage the effect. If you find an effect that won’t bypass/un-bypass, check this setting.
