DOD VGS50 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
Delay - Delay is often referred to as an echo. This is because it will record a short
passage of your playing, and then repeat it a moment later. You can have it repeat
the passage several times just like an echo would do. The VGS50 offers three
different types of delay, they are Tape delay, Mono delay, and Pong delay. The Tape
delay is typical of older delays that were actually using a tape to record, and repeat.
Tape delay settings are not as crystal clear as digital delays. The Mono delay is a
clear, concise digital delay. The Pong delay is a delay that will “bounce” from left to
right when your VGS50 is connected in stereo.
Reverb - Reverb will simulate different environments. It can make it sound as if
you are playing in a big empty room, or a small closed in room. It adds ambiance
to your guitar by mimicking the characteristics of sound bouncing off of distant
walls. The VGS50 has three different environments that it is capable of producing.
They are Room, Hall, and Arena environments. Room reverb is the smallest and
Arena is the largest environment.
Parameters Available for Editing
The following is a list of the parameters available for editing or fine tuning, and a
description of how each parameter will affect the sound of the corresponding
effects.
Gain - The Gain parameter is the amount of distortion that you will get when the
distortion effect is on.
Speed - The Speed control adjusts how fast the chorus, flange, phaser, ring
modulator, tremolo, detuner, enveloped phase, or enveloped flange will sweep back
and forth. It can be used to vary these effects between a fast shimmering type of
sound, and a slow gradual sweeping.
Depth/Amount - The Depth/Amount parameter adjusts the intensity of the chorus,
flange, phaser, tremolo, ring modulator, and detuner. It adjusts the interval of the
pitch shift and pitch bend effects.
Delay - The Delay parameter adjusts the length of time between repeats of the
delay.
Regeneration - The Regeneration parameter will adjust the number of times that
the delay will repeat the sound. It will also increase the amount of whooshing heard
in the flanger and phaser.
Decay - The Decay parameter adjusts how long the reverb will be heard. This is
also related to how “big” of a room the reverb effect is simulating.
Mix/Level - The Mix/Level parameter will adjust the overall strength of effects in
the preset.
