DAMPING/DEPTH

controls the damping, with the darkest tone at

and the brightest tone at

. Since the delay

effect is not stereo, it is not affected by the

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 is adjustable from 5 ms to 524 ms.

DELAY 2:

Two repeats. Provides a fuller, more

dramatic effect for rock and gospel vocals, acous-
tic guitar, and wind instruments such as flute.
Especially effective for some finger-picking styles.
Delay range is adjustable from 5 ms to 524 ms.

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 is adjustable from 5 ms to 524 ms.

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 is

adjustable from 5 ms to 524 ms.

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

WIDE

switch is very effective at dramatically

increasing the strength and thickness of a
modulation effect. For example, using

WIDE

Chorus mimics a multi-voiced chorus effect.

TIME/RATE

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

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’s

EFX 2 (INT)

should be set halfway or higher. Rate is adjust-
able from 0.5 Hz to 30 Hz. Depth is adjustable
from 0% to 100%.

FLANGE:

Creates a strong sweeping effect,

particularly effective on rock electric guitar,
lead and rhythm. The channel’s

EFX 2 (INT)

should be set halfway or higher. Rate is adjust-

able from 0.5 Hz to 20 Hz. Depth is 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 is adjustable from 0.5 Hz to 35 Hz.
Depth is adjustable from 50% to 100%.

TIME/RATE

If you have a reverb effect selected, this

control adjusts how long the reverberation
lasts, with

being a short reverb time and

being the longest.

If you have a delay effect selected, this adjusts

the amount of time between the original signal
and the delayed signal, with

being a short delay

time and

being the longest delay time.

If you have a chorus, flange, or phaser effect

selected, this control adjusts the rate or speed
of the modulation of the effect.

DAMPING/DEPTH

If you have a reverb or delay effect selected,

this control adjusts how fast the higher fre-
quencies roll off in the reverberation or delay,
with 0 having little roll off and 10 having the
most roll off.

If you have a chorus, flange, or phaser effect

selected, this control adjusts the depth of the
modulation of the effect.

WIDE

Depending on the effect selected, this

switch adds more width or depth to the effect.
Note that it doesn’t work with the

DELAY

and

PHASER

effects because they are monophonic.
