V-AMP 2

Special effects

COMPRESSOR: A compressor limits the dynamic range of the audio material, thus producing audible and creative sound effects. Pronounced use of the compressor (using the EFFECTS control) allows you to compress the overall dynamic range of the material.

AUTO-WAH:The legendary wah-wah effect owes its fame mainly to Jimi Hendrix. Describing it is certainly more difficult than simply listening to Hendrix using it on Voodoo Chile. In American funk music of the 70s you can hear auto-wah effects used in a variety of applications. The auto-wah alters its filter frequency automatically depending on the signal’s magnitude, rather than being controlled by the position of a pedal.

TREMOLO: Simulates the classic Fender Tremolo. It has returned to popularity with trip-hop.

ROTARY: This is the quintessential simulation of the classic organ effect normally produced by speakers rotating at slow or fast speed in an extremely heavy speaker cabinet. This effect uses the physical principle of the Doppler effect to modulate the sound.

NOISE GATE: Noise gates are used to remove or reduce noise or other interference. Guitar signals in particular are very sensitive to interference. Not only do guitarists often use high-gain settings but guitar pick-ups can amplify unwanted interference. This can be painfully apparent during breaks in the music. And how does a noise gate work? It simply mutes the signal during breaks, eliminating any interference at the same time.

5.2 The separate reverb effect

The reverb effect from your V-AMP 2 is independent of the multi-effects processor and can be added to the mix signal at any time. To edit the REVERB function, press button D in EDIT mode (pressing the two arrow keys simultaneously) and use the two arrow keys to select one of the nine different reverb types available:

No.
Reverb	Reverb Type	Quality
1	Tiny Room
2	Small Room	Classic room simulation featuring various
3	Medium Room	room sizes from bathroom to cathedral.
4	Large Room
5	Ultra Room	Special effect transforming guitar signals
		into heavenly pad sounds.
6	Small Spring	Simulations of typical spring reverbs.
7	Medium Spring
8	Short Ambience	Simulates the early reflections of a
9	Long Ambience	reverbless room.
