Flanger - A Flanger is similar to a chorus as far as what it is technically doing, but it sounds very different. It adds a “whooshing up, and down” sound to your guitar.
Phaser - A Phaser is an effect that splits the incoming signal, and then changes the phase of half of the signal. This phase is changed at an even pace, and mixed back in with the original sound. The changing phase causes different frequencies to be canceled, resulting in a warm, twisting sound in your guitar.
Tremolo - Tremolo is an effect that modulates the volume of your guitar up and down at a steady rate.
Pitch - Pitch shifting is like having another guitarist playing with you. It makes a copy of your pitch, and then shifts it to a different pitch. The result is two different notes playing together.
Detune - Detuning is an effect that uses the pitch shifting technology, but does not shift the pitch a full note. Instead, it just takes the shifted pitch slightly in and out of tune with your note.
Ring Modulator - The ring modulator modulates the guitars volume and then takes the signals sum, and difference of the modulated frequency, and guitar frequency and mixes it with the original signal. The result is a metallic ringing sort of sound.
Pixellator - A pixellator degrades the signal by undersampling it. The result is an unnatural distortion similar to those used in today’s techno and industrial styles of music.
Envelope Phase - Envelope Phase is a phaser effect that alters your sound based upon how hard you play. The softer that you play, the less intense the sweep of the phaser effect will be. The harder that you play, the more intense the sweep will be.
Envelope Flange - Envelope Flange is a flanging effect that alters your sound based upon how hard you play. The softer that you play, the less intense the sweep of the flanger effect will be. The harder that you play, the more intense the sweep will be.
Pitch Bend - Pitch Bend is an effect that you will need to use the expression pedal for. When you have assigned the expression pedal to a value of 7, for bend, you can then change the pitch of your note by rocking the expression pedal back and forth. With the pedal in the toe up position, your pitch will be the note you are actually playing. As you rock the pedal forward, the note will bend.
