Peavey XR 696 manual Master Section, EFX Presets

MASTER SECTION

16.EFFECTS PEAK LED: Illuminates to indicate -6 dB of headroom before the signals being sent to the effects circuit are clipped. Ideally, you would want this LED to light only occassionally. An occassional blink indicates that you have the levels at an optimum setting. It is advisable to listen carefully to the output at the same time in order to determine the final setting.

17.PRESET: Selects the effect preset from the list below.

EFX Presets

PRESET	NAME	TIME/SIZE	COLOR/TONE
1	Chamber	Time: 150 to 5,000 ms	Damping (High Frequency)
2	Plate	Time: 100 to 4,000 ms	Damping (High Frequency)
3	Room	Time: 150 to 5,000 ms	Damping (High Frequency)
4	Cathedral	Time: 100 to 8,000 ms	Damping (High Frequency)
5	Spring	Time: 150 to 5,000 ms	Damping (High Frequency)
6	Gate	Time: 150 to 500 ms	Damping (High Frequency)
7	Reverse	Time: 150 to 500 ms	Damping (High Frequency)
8	Delay + Reverb	Time: 0 to 225 ms	Reverb Time: 0 to 5,000 ms
9	Bright Delay	Time: 0 to 500 ms	Feedback: 0 to 99%
10	Warm Delay	Time: 0 to 500 ms	Feedback: 0 to 99%
11	Dark Delay	Time: 0 to 500 ms	Feedback: 0 to 99%
12	Ping Pong Delay	Time: 0 to 500 ms	Feedback: 0 to 99%
13	Chorus	Rate: 0.125 to 8 Hz	Depth: Best Set Full CW
14	Phaser	Rate: 0.250 to 16 Hz	Depth: Best Set Full CW
15	Flange	Rate: 0.10 to 2.5 Hz	Depth: Best Set Full CW
16	Rotary Speaker	High Speed: 0.50 to 25 Hz	Width: 0 to 100% CW

18.TIME/SIZE: In Reverb and Delay presets, this control adjusts the time of the particular reverb or delay; in Chorus, Phaser, and Flange, it adjusts the rate of each. In Rotary Speaker setting, this adjusts the speed of the speaker rotation.

19.COLOR/TONE: Adjusts the high-frequency content of the effects signal. (While using a delay, this control adjusts the feedback or depth.)

20.EFX TO MON: Controls the amount of effects signal sent to the monitor mix. This control allows effects to be heard from the stage via the monitor.

21.EFX TO MAIN: Controls the amount of effects signal sent to the main mix.

22.FLS® (Feedback Locator System): These LEDs illuminate to indicate the frequency band of highest energy. When feedback occurs, this system will automatically indicate the graphics slider to use to decrease that frequency band’s gain in order to lessen or eliminate feedback. (NOTE: These LEDs illuminate with any audio signal, not just during feedback.)

23.GRAPHIC EQUALIZERS: These 9-band equalizers are fixed on one-octave centers. They are designed for 12 dB of cut and 12 dB boost. They are connected directly to their power amplifier inputs.

24.SYSTEM MODE: This switch is used to configure the XR® 696 as either a stereo or dual mono amplifier. It is recessed to prevent accidental switching during a performance. Use a non-metallic object to change the switch position (e.g., a toothpick). The XR 696 is shipped from the factory in the default setting of Left Main to the upper EQ and Right to the lower EQ. When this switch is depressed, it switches the lower EQ to (mono) PA Left + Right. The upper EQ then becomes the monitor signal only, creating an entire PA and monitor mixing system in one small, easy-to-carry package. And this change is accomplished without a single patch cord!
