Delays
There are four delays available. Delay 1 has
one repeat after the original note. Delay 2 has
two repeats, Delay 3 has three, and Delay 4 has
four. The
TIME/RATE PARAMETER
controls the
time between repeats, with the fastest repeats
at the
0
position and the slowest repeats at
10
.
The
DAMPING/DEPTH PARAMETER
controls
the damping, with the darkest tone at
0
and
the brightest tone at
10
. For an analog tape
delay sound, use a darker setting so that each
subsequent repeat is darker than the prior one.
For a crisp digital delay sound, use a brighter
setting so the tone retains its high end on each
subsequent repeat. Since the delay effect is not
stereo, it is not affected by the
EFX 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 adjustable from 5ms to 524ms.
DELAY 2
: Two repeats. Provides a fuller,
more dramatic effect for rock and gospel vocals,
acoustic guitar, and wind instruments such as
flute. Especially effective for some finger-picking
styles. Delay range adjustable from 5ms to 524ms.
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 adjustable from 5ms to 524ms.
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
adjustable from 5ms to 524ms.
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
EFX WIDE
switch is very effective at dramatically increas-
ing the strength and thickness of a modulation
effect. For example, using the
EFX WIDE
on
Chorus mimics a multi-voiced chorus effect.
The
TIME/RATE PARAMETER
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 PARAMETER
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
EFX
send should be set
halfway or higher. Rate adjustable from 0.5Hz to
30Hz. Depth adjustable from 0% to 100%.
FLANGE
: Creates a strong sweeping effect,
particularly effective on rock electric guitar, lead
and rhythm. The channel
EFX
send should be set
halfway or higher. Rate adjustable from 0.5Hz to
20Hz. Depth 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 adjustable from 0.5Hz to 35Hz.
Depth adjustable from 50% to 100%.
