Effects (EFX) Page

This page features three separate effect units: Distortion, Delay, and Modulation (Phaser/Flanger/Chorus). The Effect page is opened by clicking the EFX button at the top of the lower half of the control panel.

Each separate effect section is laid out with a row of buttons that determine the effect type or characteristic and a row of sliders for making parameter settings.
To activate an effect, click the Active button so that a dot appears.

Clicking again deactivates the effect.

Distortion

You can choose between 4 basic distortion characteristics:

Distortion provides hard clipping distortion.
Soft Distortion provides soft clipping distortion.
Tape Emulation produces distortion similar to magnetic tape saturation.
Tube Emulation produces distortion similar to valve amplifiers.

Drive: Sets the amount of distortion by amplifying the input signal.
Filter: Sets the crossover frequency of the distortion filter. The distortion filter consists of a low-pass filter and a high-pass filter with a cutoff frequency equal to the crossover frequency.
Tone: Controls the relative amount of low-pass and high-pass filtered signal.
Level: Controls the output level of the effect.

Delay

You can choose between 3 basic delay characteristics:

Stereo Delay has two separate delay lines panned left and right.
In Mono Delay, the two delay lines are connected in series for monophonic dual tap delay effects.
In Cross Delay, the delayed sound bounces between the stereo channels.

Song Sync: Activates/Deactivates tempo sync of the delay times.
Delay 1: Sets the delay time ranging from 0 ms to 728 ms. If MIDI sync is activated, the range is from 1/32 to 1/1; straight, triplet or dotted.
Delay 2: Same as Delay 1.
Feedback: Controls the decay of the delays. With higher settings, the echoes repeat longer.
Filter: A low-pass filter is built into the feedback loop of the delay. This parameter controls the cutoff frequency of this feedback filter. Low settings result in successive echoes sounding darker.
Level: Controls the output level of the effect.

Modulation

You can choose between 3 basic modulation characteristics:

Phaser uses an 8-pole all-pass filter to produce the classic phasing effect.
Flanger is composed of two independent delay lines with feedback for the left and the right channel. The delay time of both delays is modulated by one LFO with adjustable frequency.
Chorus produces a rich chorus effect with 4 delays modulated by four independent LFOs.

Song Sync: Activates/Deactivates tempo sync of the Rate parameter.
Rate: Sets the rate of the LFOs modulating the delay time. If Song Sync is activated, the rate is synchronized to various beat increments.
Depth: Controls the depth of the delay time modulation.
Delay: Sets the delay time of the four delay lines.
Feedback: Controls the amount of positive or negative feedback for all four delay lines.
Level: Controls the output level of the effect.
