19
slowest repeats at
10
.
DAMPING/DEPTH
controls the damping, with the darkest tone at
0
and the brightest tone at
10
. Since the delay
effect is not stereo, it is not affected by the
WIDE
switch.
DELAY 1:
One repeat. Works best for
slapback delay used in country and swing gui-
tar, and for rockabilly and some country vocals.
Delay range is adjustable from 5 ms to 524 ms.
DELAY 2:
Two repeats. Provides a fuller, more
dramatic effect for rock and gospel vocals, acous-
tic guitar, and wind instruments such as flute.
Especially effective for some finger-picking styles.
Delay range is adjustable from 5 ms to 524 ms.
DELAY 3:
Three repeats. An excellent delay
for slow, bluesy vocals and melodic flute music.
This delay usually works best when the chan-
nel
EFX
send is set at less than halfway. Delay
range is adjustable from 5 ms to 524 ms.
DELAY 4:
Four repeats. This is for very dra-
matic delay effects, particularly for enhancing
long vocal notes and dramatic instrumental
note-chopping effects. Be sure to set the chan-
nel
EFX
send at about halfway. Delay range is
adjustable from 5 ms to 524 ms.
Modulation Effects
These include Chorus, Flange, and Phaser,
and are generally used for enhancement of
instrumental music. However, Chorus adds a
dramatic effect to vocals as well. The
WIDE
switch is very effective at dramatically
increasing the strength and thickness of a
modulation effect. For example, using
WIDE
on
Chorus mimics a multi-voiced chorus effect.
TIME/RATE
controls the effect Rate,
which is the speed of the sweeping effect. Fully
counter-clockwise produces the slowest sweeps
and fully clockwise produces the fastest.
DAMPING/DEPTH
controls the effect
depth, which is the strength of the sweeping
effect. Fully counter-clockwise produces the
lightest sweeping effect and fully clockwise
produces the thickest.
CHORUS:
Provides a soft, ethereal sweeping
effect. Perfect for enhancement of electric and
acoustic guitar and bass. Also adds a dramatic
effect to vocals, particularly group harmonies
and choirs. The channel’s
EFX 2 (INT)
should be set halfway or higher. Rate is adjust-
able from 0.5 Hz to 30 Hz. Depth is adjustable
from 0% to 100%.
FLANGE:
Creates a strong sweeping effect,
particularly effective on rock electric guitar,
lead and rhythm. The channel’s
EFX 2 (INT)
should be set halfway or higher. Rate is adjust-
able from 0.5 Hz to 20 Hz. Depth is adjustable
from 0% to 100%.
PHASER:
This effect is perfect for enhanc-
ing strummed acoustic guitar or electric guitar
power chords. The
PHASER
effectively dupli-
cates the popular 70’s phase shift effect used for
guitar. Rate is adjustable from 0.5 Hz to 35 Hz.
Depth is adjustable from 50% to 100%.
TIME/RATE
If you have a reverb effect selected, this
control adjusts how long the reverberation
lasts, with
0
being a short reverb time and
10
being the longest.
If you have a delay effect selected, this adjusts
the amount of time between the original signal
and the delayed signal, with
0
being a short delay
time and
10
being the longest delay time.
If you have a chorus, flange, or phaser effect
selected, this control adjusts the rate or speed
of the modulation of the effect.
DAMPING/DEPTH
If you have a reverb or delay effect selected,
this control adjusts how fast the higher fre-
quencies roll off in the reverberation or delay,
with 0 having little roll off and 10 having the
most roll off.
If you have a chorus, flange, or phaser effect
selected, this control adjusts the depth of the
modulation of the effect.
WIDE
Depending on the effect selected, this
switch adds more width or depth to the effect.
Note that it doesn’t work with the
DELAY
and
PHASER
effects because they are monophonic.
BYPASS
Pushing in this button causes the adjacent
EFX BYPASS
indicator to light and mutes the
effects’ output signal. It affects only the internal
EMAC
effects, not any external effects processor
you may have connected to the
STEREO EFX
RETURN 2
jack.
CLIP
This indicates when the
EMAC
is 6 dB below
clipping. Just like the channels’
ZERO LEVEL
LED, this LED should only light occasion-
ally. If it blinks frequently, you should turn
down
EFX 2 SEND
a little.
