Effect type
Type Explanation
THRU The effect won’t be applied.
DELAY Stereo delay
TAPE ECHO
A virtual tape echo that produces a realistic tape delay sound. This simulates the tape echo section of a
Roland RE-201 Space Echo.
CHORUS This applies a chorus effect.
FLANGER The flanging effect gives a twisting, jet-airplane-like character to the sound.
PHASER A phase-shifted sound is added to the original sound and modulated.
EQUALIZER This adjusts the tone as a equalizer.
COMP Flattens out high levels and boosts low levels, smoothing out fluctuations in volume.
WAH This produces a wah effect by modifying the filter in correspondence with the volume of the performance.
DIST This effect distorts the sound to create long sustain.
RINGMOD
This is an effect that applies amplitude modulation (AM) to the input signal, producing bell-like sounds. You
can also change the modulation frequency in response to changes in the volume of the sound sent into the
effect.
REVERB Adds reverberation to the sound, simulating an acoustic space.
