spinning horn. Effective on guitars, vocals, keyboards and other instruments.

•
Hall 2: A large, warm concert hall reverberation effect suitable for drums, piano and other
instruments.
•
Room 1: A medium-sized, moderately bright reflective room reverberation effect suitable for
vocals, lead guitars and other instruments.

percussion as well as electric guitars and other instruments.

•
Plate 2: An emulation of vintage plate reverb with bright, slightly tinny tonality and a medium-
length decay.

Modulation Effects
•
Chorus: A complex, 6-voice chorus ensemble effect with short delays often referred to as a
"Chorus / Doubler." Discrete stereo signal path. Slow and watery.
•
Flange: Classic stereo flange: a slow, slightly metallic sweep with a discrete stereo signal path.
Delay Effects
•
Delay 1: A simple slap-back echo with no feedback particularly effective on vocals and rhythm
guitars.

and R delay times (291 to 388 ms) for 3/4 vs. 4/4 feel. Useful for solo instruments where a long,
trailing echo effect is desired.
Multi Effects
•
Chorus – Room 1: Room reverb into a slow flanging modulation creates a spacey effect.

very lush chorus + reverb sound with a discrete stereo signal path.
