Master Output, Stereo Processor | Peavey 100 instruction

9. Reduction LED

Illuminates when the compressor is reducing the input signal. Use this LED as an indicator while setting your Threshold level.

MASTER OUTPUT

10. Output Level

Sets the overall output level of the Vocal 100. Do not confuse this control with the compressor’s Gain control which sets the overall output level of the compressor. The Output Level adjusts the signal level after it has gone through the effects processor, just before the output jacks. The compressor Gain control is preprocessor. Certain effects can raise or lower the average level of the signal. Use this control to compensate for this. Understand that this control is global.—Changing it for one preset will change the level for all presets.

STEREO PROCESSOR

11. DSP Edge

Global processor EQ that adjusts the amount of high frequency content on the delay and reverb tails. Sometimes digital processors can make an analog signal sound somewhat bright and/or harsh. We have included this control to suppress that effect and mellow the signal. This is especially noticeable on delays and reverbs since they have a decaying tail. Sing into your mic using words containing “s” and “t” while adjusting the DSP Edge control to hear and tweak this function. Make sure you have selected a preset that contains reverb and/or delay and the unit is not in Bypass mode. Otherwise, you won't be able to hear your adjustments. This control will depend largely on the EQ of your PA and your monitors. There is no right or wrong setting. Simply use what sounds best to you. What you are trying to achieve is a decaying tail that contains mostly the body of your voice and a hint of the bright consonants.

12. Mono/Stereo

Selects a mono or stereo mode for the digital effects imaging. During mono operation, the signals from both the Left and Right Outputs can be used to power both a main PA and a monitor PA respectively. The Wet/Dry Mix settings are still functional in the Mono mode, allowing you to separately adjust the amount of effect in both the main and monitor signals. When in stereo mode the Outputs should be used in a standard Left/Right configuration. (See EQ on page 14).

13. Up/Down Buttons

Used to select presets when in Play mode, or to adjust parameters when in Edit mode.

14. LED Display Window

The LED segments in the display show the current bank/preset when in Play mode or the parameter value being adjusted when in Edit mode. Also included are LEDs that indicate if the presets are user editable or non-editable factory presets (as well as DSP headroom). When the clip LED indicator blinks consistently, this indicates that 6 dB of DSP headroom remaining before clipping.

15. Store Button

Used to store the changes made in Edit mode. Upon pressing Store, the display will toggle between “st” and a preset number. By using the parameter ▲ or ▼ buttons, select the target preset storage location, and press Store again to complete.

16. Compressor Enable Button

Enables the Analog Compressor. Enabled LED (#8) will illuminate to indicate that the compressor is in circuit. Pressing the Enable Button again will turn off the compressor and the Enabled LED. This button’s position is stored with each user preset as long as the Store Button is pressed.
