EFFECTS TO HEAR THE EFFECTS ON A CHANNEL: Turn up the FX POST SEND (28) for that channel. Then, turn up the FX RETURN knob (32). Press the MAIN TO MONITOR button to hear the mix in your headphones. Use the EFFECTS SELECTOR KNOB (30) to choose one of the effects below: REVERB EFFECTS • HALL 1: A large, bright concert hall reverberation effect suitable for vocals and instruments. • HALL 2: A large, warm concert hall reverberation effect suitable for drums, piano and other instruments. • ROOM 1: A medium-sized, moderately bright reflective room reverberation effect suitable for vocals, lead guitars and other instruments. • ROOM 2: A small, very reflective bright room reverberation effect suitable for drums and percussion as well as electric guitars and other instruments. • ROOM 3: A large, warm room reverberation effect suitable for acoustic instruments. • PLATE 1: A lush, smooth vocal plate reverb with a long decay time and warm tonality. • PLATE 2: An emulation of vintage plate reverb with bright, slightly tinny tonality and a medium-length decay. • PLATE 3: A short, bright plate reverb effective for creating subtle spaces. MODULATION EFFECTS • CHORUS: A complex, 6-voice chorus ensemble effect with short delays often referred to as a "Chorus / Doubler". Discrete stereo signal path. Slow and watery. • FLANGE: Classic stereo flange: a slow, slightly metallic sweep with a discrete stereo signal path. • ROTARY: Fast rotary speaker simulator creates the classic, lush Doppler effect of an organ's spinning horn. Effective on guitars, vocals, keyboards and other instruments. DELAY EFFECTS • DELAY 1: A simple slap-back echo with no feedback particularly effective on vocals and rhythm guitars. • DELAY 2: Medium-length poly-rhythmic delay with crossover feedback. 3 to 4 ratio between L and R delay times (291 to 388ms) for 3/4 vs. 4/4 feel. Useful for solo instruments where a long, trailing echo effect is desired. MULTI EFFECTS • CHORUS - ROOM 1: Room reverb into a slow flanging modulation creates a spacey effect. • CHORUS - ROOM 2: Fast modulation provides a dramatic chorus effect in a small room for a very lush chorus + reverb sound with a discrete stereo signal path. BYPASS: Bypasses the effects processor - no effects will be heard. 9
