Reverberation the warm musical "ambience” you
experience when listening to music in a hall or other
natural environment.
The FX500B offers several different reverb effects,
simulating types of reverberation you would experience in
a hall (Reverb Hall), in a smaller room (Reverb Room), a
reverb effect ideally suited to vocals (Reverb Vocal), and
the type of reverberation produced artificially by a plate
reverberator (Reverb Plate).

• Early Reflection Hall (Ehl)
• Early Reflection Random (Erd)
• Early Reflection Reverse (Erv)
• Early Reflection Plate (Epi)
These effects are created using different groupings of
"early reflections" — the first cluster of reflections that
occurs after the direct sound but before the dense
reflections that are known as reverberation begin. Early
Reflection Hall produces a typical grouping of early
reflections that would occur in a performing environment
such as a hall. Early Reflection Random produces an
irregular series of reflections that could not occur naturally.
Early Reflection Reverse generates a series of reflections
that Increase in level — like the effect produced by playing
a recorded reverberation sound backwards. Early
Reflection Plate produces a typical grouping of reflections
that would occur In a plate reverb unit.
RVT (Reverb Time: 0.3 — 40 s)
Set the amount of time It takes for the reverb sound to
delay by 60 dB.
HF (High Frequency Reverb Time Ratio: 1 —10)
Sets the reverb time of the high frequencies in relation to
the overall reverb time. Higher values produce longer high-
frequency reverb times, gradually approaching the overall
reverb time.
PLY (Delay Time: 0.1 — 335.0 ms)
Sets the delay time before the reverb sound begins.
Initial direct sound.
(DLY)
MIX (Mixing Balance: 0 —100 %)
Sets the balance between the direct and effect sound.
Higher values produce a greater proportion of effect sound
In relation to difbct sound.
LVL (Output Level: -42 — -fS dB)
Determines the output level of the effect.

RSZ(Room Size: 0.1—20)
Sets the separation between reflections. The values
Increment In 0.1 steps from 0 to 10, while values above 10
Increment In steps of 1. Higher values produce greater
separation between reflections, and therefore the effect of
a bigger room.
LIV (Liveness: 0 —10)
Determines how the early reflections decay. Higher values
result In slower decay, producing the effect of a more
reflective ("live") room.
DLY (Delay Time: 0.1 — 400.0 ms)
Sets the delay time before the early reflection sound
begins.
