Much More than Just Reverb and Delay
The FX2000 has some of the best-
sounding reverb and delay programs,
but that’s not all. It also provides excellent
modulation effects (such as chorus,
flanger and phaser), including special
variations like musical pitch shifter,
tremolo and even a leslie simulation.
Modulation and Pitch Shifter FX:
• STEREO FLANGER – originally generated
by playing back two synchronized “reel to
reel” tape recorders with a finger rubbing
on the flange of one of the take-up reels
• VINTAGE FLANGER – simulates a guitar
flanger stomp box
• JET STREAM FLANGER – sounds like a
classic analog flanger
• STEREO CHORUS – combines a slightly
detuned signal with the original
• ANALOG CHORUS – simulates a guitar
chorus stomp box
• VINTAGE CHORUS – imitates a classic
analog studio chorus
• ULTRA CHORUS – creates the sound of an
eight-person chorus
• STEREO PHASER – combines a second,
phase-shifted signal to the original
• VINTAGE PHASER – represents a guitar
phaser stomp box
• DUAL PHASER – processes the left and
right channels separately
• LESLIE – simulation of the rotating
speakers typically used on an organ –
Slow or Fast
• PITCH SHIFTER – changes the pitch of the
original signal – can be used to create
harmonies with the original signal or
replace it entirely with the altered pitch.
Choices include stereo, two and three
vocal pitch shifter
• VIBRATO – the peak frequency of the tone
is periodically and uniformly changed
(quickly or slowly)
• TREMOLO – common vintage guitar
amplifier effect – a fast or slow periodic
variation in volume
• AUTO PANNING – signal is
automatically sent from one side of
the stereo image to the other, either
once or multiple times
Dynamic FX:
• COMPRESSOR – reduces the
dynamic range of the signal,
maintains consistent signal
level and thus avoids distortion
associated with input levels
• EXPANDER – effectively broadens the
dynamic range of source signals while
reducing background noise
• GATE – this noise gate algorithm
helps to reduce background clutter by
setting a specific threshold level which
mutes all surrounding noise below
this threshold. Particularly effective on
drum mics and vocals
• ANALOG COMPRESSOR/LIMITER –
similar to COMPRESSOR but with
Limiting functionality
• ULTRAMIZER – analyses incoming
signal and automatically applies
compression across two independent
frequency bands
• DENOISER – eliminates or reduces
noise and other interference
• DE-ESSER – reduces or removes
sibilance (Ssss sound) from signal
• WAVE DESIGNER – allows you to
influence the envelope by adjusting
Attack and Release of the signal
Psychoacoustic FX:
• EXCITER – adds artificially generated
overtones to the original signal,
increasing presence and perceived
loudness without significant increase
in signal level
• ENHANCER – a dynamic equalizer
which brings more clarity and a better
stereo locating to your sound, similar
to the effect of an exciter
