FFECTS
The WZ12:2DX and WZ16:2DX are provided with a built-in stereo digital effects
processor. This can be configured as a single dual stereo effect (eg reverb +
echo) fed from aux 5 or as two independent stereo effects fed respectively from
aux 5 and aux 6.
In both single and dual modes, the processed signal is routed internally to the
ST1 stereo return, as shown below. This connection is
after the ST1 input
connectors, so external signal processing can also be patched into this input if
required. The processed signals can then be routed to the LR, Aux 1and/or Aux
2 mixes using the stereo return facilities. Note that Aux 5 and 6 sends are
always available on their respective connectors. The OFF mode for the internal
effects is provided to enable external effects loops to be created if required.
As each mode has 16
different effects programs
available, this gives you the
potential for 32 different
programs.
Note that the parameters of
these 32 sounds can be
changed via the MIDI socket
according to user
requirements. Further information is provided on the following pages.
SINGLE/DUAL Mode Switch – Up position selects single mode and down
position selects dual mode. Under-panel latching switch prevents accidental
activation or de-selection during performances.

In this mode, the effects processor acts as a single dual stereo effects processor
fed from the aux 5 mix (after the aux 5 master level control). The choice of 16
effects programs is as follows:
PROGRAM 1-8 PROGRAM 9-16
# NAME EFFECT # NAME EFFECT
1 Stage 9 Karaoke Stereo Vocal Echo Effect
2 Room 10 Ping Pong L-R repeat effect
3 Hall
Short Reverbs of increasing length and
differing brightness
11 Chorus Stereo chorus effect
4 Plate Typical studio plate reverb 12 Slap + Rev Slap delay with hall reverb
5 Chamber 13 Dly + Rev Delay with hall reverb
6 Cathedral 14 Echo + Rev Echo with plate reverb
7 Arena
Long reverbs for special effects and
simulation of large spaces
15 Ch + Rev Chorus with arena reverb
8 Gated Rev Special reverb typical for snare drums 16 Ph + Rev Phaser effect with plate reverb
SELECT – This switch is used to select which of the 16 programs, or OFF, is active. The processor steps
through programs 1-8 then 9-16 (indicated by the illumination of the BANK LED) and then OFF, which is
indicated by all 8 program LEDs being turned off.
BANK – This switch and associated LED select programs 1-8 or 9-16.
