MATRIX™ Manual

2.2.1 CRUNCH GAIN

Controls the CRUNCH channel's input sensitivity and thus the amount
of saturation. You can dial in anything from tone that is just sweet
enough to pass for clean to throaty tones that are distinctly rough
around the edges. Again, crank the knob for single-coils; back it off a
bit for humbuckers.

2.2.2 CRUNCH VOL

Controls the CRUNCH channel's level; use it to determine the balance
between it and the other channels.

2.3 LEAD

Yields hard-hitting, snarling British rock tone.
2.3.1 LEAD/WARP GAIN
Controls the LEAD and WARP channel's input sensitivity and thus
the amount of saturation, with distortion option ranges from creamy
smooth to British grit and chunky NuMetal thunder.

2.3.2 LEAD Vol

Controls the LEAD channel's level; use it to determine the balance
between it and the other channels.

2.4 WARP

Beware! The MATRIX™'s heart of darkness, this channel offers fierce
high-gain sounds of a flavor favored by popular NuMetal bands. This
brand of distortion is best described as an angry roar. Depending on
this channel's settings, you can dial monster NuMetal tone, grinding
post-grunge and alternative sounds, and thunderous death and Gothic
metal noise.

2.4.1 WARP VOL

Controls the WARP channel's level; use it to determine the balance
between it and the other channels.

2.5 CRUNCH, LEAD, WARP Voicing Section

For handling ease, the MATRIX™'s three overdrive channels share
common voicing controls. However, behind these tone controls are
three different EQ circuits that are automatically switched along with
the channel. This is why an EQ setting that you have dialed in for the
LEAD channel works so well with the CRUNCH and WARP channels.

The MATRIX™'s Effects
The MATRIX™ features three independent effects - modulation, DELAY
and REVERB. All three effect models may be used simultaneously and
adjusted independently. The MATRIX™ FX automatically stores settings
for each channel.

3.1 MOD FX

The MATRIX™ puts at your disposal the three most sought-after
modulation effects: A CHORUS, FLANGER and TREMOLO are all
assigned to one knob. CHORUS is assigned to the first third of the
knob's control range, FLANGER to the second, and TREMOLO to the
final third. You can sweep the knob within each third to adjust the
effect's characteristics. We staked out the parameters so that you can
swiftly and easily dial in settings that elicit good-sounding, useful
variations of the desired effect. To switch off modulation effects, simply
twist the knob to the far left. Twisting the knob clockwise adjust the
modulation effect's rate. Modulation depth is adjusted automatically
according to the rate setting so that every knob position yields a hip
effect sound offering real-world utility.

3.1.1 CHORUS

Low CHORUS settings yield a slow throb for thick, underwater sounds
that work great with ballads. Courtesy of automatic effect depth
adjustment, higher CHORUS settings do not evoke that dreaded
"seasick" tone.

3.1.2 FLANGER

Slow FLANGER settings yield a stately sweeping whoosh effect, while
faster settings give you swirly effects often heard in contemporary rock
and pop tunes.

3.1.3 TREMOLO

Though the classic TREMOLO effect is great for recreating the sounds
of '60s, it also serves up some hip effects that work wonders for
contemporary tunes.

3.2 DELAY

DELAY is controlled via two knobs: TIME is an infinitely variable knob
that sweeps smoothly to the next repetition from 80 ms
to 1400 ms. Feedback is adjusted accordingly and automatically.
Short DELAYs with minimal feedback conjure great slap-back rockabilly
sounds, while medium-length DELAYs are perfect for
U2-style jangle. Long DELAY times let you come up with cascading,
Queen-style licks. The VOLUME knob determines the level of
repetitions, with a control range sweeping from off to as loud as the
original signal.

3.3 REVERB

The REVERB is an authentic-sounding emulation of a classic spring
reverb. It handles and responds just like the original: Simply twist the
REVERB knob to adjust the spring REVERB's volume.
