FFECTS
These are the reverb and combined delay+reverb
effects usually applied to add ‘life’ to vocals and solo
instruments.
Reverb (reverberation) simulates the acoustic echo
and reflections typical of a large performance
environment. These are known as ‘system effects’ as
the processed (wet) reverb and echo signal is added
to the direct (dry) signal.
Use the pre-delay PDY parameter to set the time
before the first reflections are heard. Use longer
delay for larger environments. Use the diffusion
DIF
parameter to adjust the ‘thickness’ of the reverb. Use
the damping
DMP parameter to adjust the relative
decay time of the high frequency content. Use less
damping for brighter sounding reverbs. Set the
decay
DCY parameter to adjust the time it takes for
the reverb to die away. Use longer times for larger
environments. For the multi effects the
DLY and REG
parameters affect the echo, and the DMP and DCY
parameters affect the reverb.

These combined effects are ideal for
fattening up the sound as well as adding
depth with a small amount of reverb. A
short echo around 100 to 200mS without
regeneration produces the well known
vocal ‘slapback’ effect. Longer echo with
regeneration repeats combined with reverb
is well suited to certain guitar styles.
