Post FX Module
Parametric Eq
This parametric Stereo digital equalizer is the first of the Post FX
(fig. 36)
modules encountered by the signal. This is a precision stereo digital equa-
lizer that it’s used to finely tune the modeled sound after all of the Amplifier
simulations.
Treat it as a high end digital Eq you may find on a mixing console, a very
flexible processor that can perform both subtle adjustments on the sound or
completely change it with heavy and drastic equalizations.
The Eq consists of three identical sections that works exactly in the same
way, their frequency range can even overlap, and this allows for really dra-
stic equalizations.
Each section
(fig. 37)
is a peaking type filter with adjustable bandwidth.
Gain (G):
Sets the amount of gain of the selected band, from
–15 to +15 dB.
Frequency (F):
Sets the center frequency of the selected filter. From
50 Hz to 17 KHz.
Bandwitdh (Q):
Determines the bandwidth of the selected filter, from
very wide (fully counterclockwise) to very narrow
(fully clockwise). Wide settings are less noticeable
and more musical, while narrow settings deliver
weird effects and can be creative as well.
A Level control is also provided in order to compensate for the level change
caused by an heavy equalization curve. This way you are able to switch the
Eq in or out with the automation obtaining the desired level in both the con-
ditions.
Use the big Red button on the right to engage the unit
(fig. 38)
.
Stereo Delay
A stereo delay effect unit is provided after the parametric equalizer.
This delay delivers a digital crisp and clean delay effect that can add a lot of
space to the sound.
Four types of delay are provided
(fig. 39)
:
Mono:
normal center delay, with analog emulation filters
Stereo:
alternate Left and Right delays
Stereo Multi Tap1:
alternate Left, Center and Right delays
Stereo Multi Tap2:
stereo delay with a very little time difference
between L&R.
