1. Room Reverb – This is a simulation of a short decay reverb, similar in sound to a
small room with hard surfaces. Use the Modify control to set the decay time.
2. Hall Reverb – A long, smooth reverb simulating the sound of a large concert hall.
High frequencies are progressively rolled off as the signal cycles through the rever-
berator. The Modify control sets the decay time.
3. Hall Reverb (Vocals) – Same as the Hall Reverb but with an added ducking feature.
When a signal is detected, the reverb level is reduced. When the signal stops, the
reverb level is raised so you can hear the trailing reverberance.
4. Hall Reverb With Echo – A hall reverb with an added 200 ms echo.
5. Plate Reverb – Another long reverb, this one being a recreation of the reverb devices
found in classic recording studios. Longer decay time than the hall reverb and with
more emphasis on the top end. The Modify control sets the decay time.
6. Plate Reverb (Vocals) – Same as the Plate Reverb but with an added ducking fea-
ture. When a signal is detected, the reverb level is reduced. When the signal stops,
the reverb level is raised so you can hear the trailing reverberance.
7. Plate Reverb With Echo – A plate reverb with an added 160 ms echo.
8. Gated Reverb – The 80’s are back! Commonly used on drums, this is a dense reverb
that decays abruptly as the input signal disappears. Use the Modify knob to set the
decay time.
9. Fast Echo – This echo has a short 80 ms repeat time. The Modify knob is used to
vary the decay time of the repeats.
10. Short Decay Echo – Use the Modify knob to set the time between repeats. This echo
will only give a couple repeats.
11. Long Decay Echo – Use the Modify knob to set the time between repeats. This echo
will only give several repeats.
12. Chorus – Chorus is an electronic effect that multiplies your signal and staggers each
copy in time and pitch, similar to what happens when a choir sings. The Modify knob
is used to increase the amount by which the individual signals vary from one another.
13. Flanger – Flanging is an effect created by comb filtering as a result of mixing a sig-
nal with a delayed version of itself. By rhythmically changing the delay time, you get
the sound of a shifting comb filter. Use the Modify control to set this rate.
14. Rotary Speaker – This is a recreation of an effect originally popular with organ play-
ers. The sound of a spinning speaker is akin to a tremolo with Doppler pitch shifting.
The Modify control set the speed at which the speaker spins.
15. Distortion – Similar to the style of distortion you get as you overdrive a tube pre-
amp. Turn the Modify knob to get more clipping and roll off the high frequencies.
Try it on guitar and vocals.
16. Harmonizer – This effect transposes the pitch of your signal to one of four fixed har-
monies. Use the Modify control to choose from an octave down, a fifth down, a fifth
up and an octave up.
