5. We also wanted to have the Chorus as an effect in our example preset. Press the
Effect button. If the effects in this group are bypassed (indicated by two dashes “--
” in the display), press the Effect button again, or rotate the Data Wheel to activate
this group. Chorus is listed as the first effect in this group so, roll the Data Wheel
until the number “1” is shown in the display.
You will notice that when you select Chorus as your effect type, the parameter LEDs
next to Speed, Depth, and Mix/Level will light. This indicates that these three
parameters are associated with the Chorus, and are available for adjustment. Press
the Parameter Edit button once and the LED next to Speed will begin to flash. The
display will show the current value of the Chorus speed. Use the Data Wheel to
increase or decrease the speed of the Chorus. For our example, let’s set the speed
to 5. Press the Parameter Edit button again and the LED next to Depth will begin to
flash. The display will show the current value of the Depth parameter. Use the Data
Wheel to increase or decrease the value of the Depth parameter. For our example,
let’s set this to 4. Press the Parameter Edit button again and the Mix/Level LED will
flash, and the display will show the value of the Mix. Use the Data Wheel to set this
to about 60.
6. In our example we were going to have the delay bypassed. So, press the Delay
button until “--” is shown in the display.
7. Finally, we wanted to use a Hall type reverb in our preset. By now you should be
getting the hang of it. Press the effect select button in the reverb box. If the reverb is
bypassed, press the Reverb button again, or rotate the Data Wheel to activate the
Reverb. Since the Hall Reverb is number two, roll the Data Wheel until the number
2 is shown in the display.
You will notice that the parameter LEDs next to Decay, and Mix/Level will light. Press
the Parameter Edit button once and the Decay LED will begin to flash. The display
will indicate the value of the Reverb Decay. Use the Data Wheel to set this to 30.
Press the Parameter Edit button again and the Mix/Level LED will begin to flash. Use
the Data Wheel to set the Reverb Level to about 40.
We have now added all of the effects to this preset that we had decided we wanted.
However, it may be too loud, or not loud enough. You can adjust the volume of the
preset by pressing the effect select button in the Master Level box, and using the
Data Wheel to set the volume level that you desire.
