3. EFFECTS PROCESSOR

A very special feature of your ULTRAROC is its built-in effects processor, which offers the same audio quality and algorithms as our popular 19" effects devices VIRTUALIZER PRO and MODULIZER PRO, however, here completely in mono. This effects module provides 31 different groups of first-class effects such as Reverb, Chorus, Flanger, Delay, Pitch Shifter, Compressor, Expander, Wah-Wah variations, various combination effects and even Tube and Speaker Emulation. The latter, in particular, can make a guitarist’s life much easier in home recording studios, because they allow you to record the amp’s signal without having to use a microphone. A total of 99 presets gives you a broad range of versatile effects, which can be edited in one parameter each. The FX MIX control determines (with a few exceptions) the mix of original and effect signals. As a rule of thumb, values (adjustable in steps of 2%) between 20% (moderate effect) and 40% (clearly audible effect) should deliver good results. In the case of Reverb and Delay presets, the mix ratio is adjustable from 0% through 50% in steps of 1%. Additionally, the multi-effects processor provides different effects variations, which are permanently linked to the presets. The FX MIX setting can be stored with each preset. To restore the factory default settings, simply keep the EFFECT button pressed while you power up the ULTRAROC.

Use the EFFECTS control to select a preset which will be activated after a short delay. The display reads the number of the currently active preset. As soon as you edit a preset with the FX MIX control, the display will read the respective parameter value. After about three seconds the display switches back to the program number. Whenever a parameter has been changed, the decimal point in the 2-digit display starts flashing. To save your edits and overwrite the existing preset, simply press the EFFECT button for about two seconds.

3.1 Description of effects

01-02 Spring Reverb: Even a guitar amp with a digital multi-effects processor should allow you to use a spring reverb. This algorithm emulates the typical sound of a spring reverb, as it is known from numerous guitar amps. However, here you don’t have the typical shatter sound when your amp gets knocked over.

03-04 Studio: This effect simulates the characteristics of middle-sized rooms. With its natural sound it can be used for a great variety of applications.
