Using the Digital Effects Processor

Description

The digital effects section is designed to allow quick changes during a performance. This is done by assigning each of the 3 channel selections an effect preset. The channel selections are Rhythm, Lead, and Lead Boost. The 3 channel selection presets are stored in banks called Favorites. There are 4 Favorites banks giving a total of 12 presets.

Each preset stores 3 different effect groups. The effect groups are Delays, Modulations, and Reverbs. Each effect group has 15 different effect selections to choose from and a level adjustment. They also include a bypass allowing the signal to pass through to the next group. Bypassing all 3 groups is the same as turning the effects off. This feature is useful if you want to switch channels and bypass the effects using a single switch. A Favorites preset stores parameters for each of the 3 Effect Groups giving a total of 6 effect parameters stored in each

preset. When any of the 6 parameters are changed, the Effect select and Favorites button flash to indicate the change is not saved. Press the Save button to save the changes or select another preset to ignore the changes when the preset is selected again. Switching to a different Favorite or selecting another channel changes presets.

The block diagram in Fig. A uses “Stomp Boxes” to represent the 3 Effect Groups. Notice how the “Stomp Box” parameters change for the different Preamp channel selections. The display shows these parameters. This gives the user a great advantage over a standard amplifier with “Stomp Boxes” where the changes would need to be made manually.

The chart in Fig. B lists the factory defaults for the 4 favorite banks. To restore the presets to factory defaults, hold Favorite 1 and REV buttons and turn power on (see page 5).
