EFFECT SECTION
EFFECTS AND PARAMETERS
RIGHT DELAY TIME (R TIME)
Range: 0.1 ~ 12.0 ms
Determines the time that the signal is delayed
before applying the flanger to the right channel.
DRY LEVEL (DRY)Range: 0 ~ 100%
Determines the level of the dry sound. A setting
of 0% results in no direct sound output. Use
this control with the Effect Mix (MIX) param-
eter above below to determine the balance
between the effect and dry sound.
Phaser (PH)
Phaser is a strong and pronounced modulation
effect.
SPEEDRange: 0.03 ~ 6.18 Hz
Determines the speed of the phase modulation.
CHORUS / REVERB/DELAY
FEEDBACK (FB)Range: 0 ~ 100%
Determines the amount of the Phaser-processed
signal that is fed back to the Phaser input.
Higher values result in a stronger Phaser sound.
DEPTHRange: 0 ~ 100%
Determines the depth of the phase modulation.
Sub parameters:
EFFECT MIX (MIX)Range: 0 ~ 100%
Determines the level of the processed signals. A
setting of 0% results in no effect output. Use
this control with the Dry Level (DRY) param-
eter below to determine the balance between the
effect and dry sound.
DRY LEVEL (DRY)Range: 0 ~ 100%
Determines the level of the dry sound. A setting
of 0% results in no direct sound output. Use
this control with the Effect Mix (MIX) param-
eter above below to determine the balance
between the effect and dry sound.
Note: SETTING THE MIX AND DRY PARAMETERS—For
each of the Reverb/Delay types below, the MIX
and DRY parameters should be set appropriately
to avoid sudden jumps in level when changing
between effect programs, or to avoid
overloading subsequent effects within an effect
program. (See Note in the Distortion section,
page 59.) Also, when MIX and DRY are both set
to 0, no sound is output.
REVERB/DELAY
The Reverb/Delay block provides a reverb
effect, a delay effect, and a delay
combined with reverb. Used judiciously,
reverb is one of the most important
effects, since without it the sound is
generally flat, dry and unnatural. Putting
reverb on a guitar is an effective way to
bring the sound to life and make it sound
more natural. Delay, although more of a
special effect, also helps in creating a
sense of space and depth in the sound.
Generally, delay and/or reverb effects are
best used as the last effect in the chain,
since they reproduce the echoes and
ambience that follow a sound when heard
in an actual performance environment.
