217 EQ Delay

A mono 20-second delay with 2-band parameteric EQ in the feedback path. In this program the EQ is set to simulate the frequency roll-offs associated with analog tape, but you can create all sorts of unusual echo effects by varying the EQ parameters. Everything you need is in the Soft Row. (Be careful with EQ Gain settings when using delay feedback

— in general, it’s best to cut EQ Gain rather than boost it.)

218 Analog Echo

This program produces sounds with many of the characteristics of vintage analog echo effects — including the tendency to “run away” if you push the feedback too hard. If you’ve ever played around with an old tape echo, you’ll recognize this sound. This key to this effect is putting the analog Gain block inside the delay feedback loop. The signal is recirculated through the analog section every time the delay repeats. The result is a literal analog echo. A stereo chorus is inserted in the feedback loop as well. Note that, as Insert Returns are also in the feedback loop, the Insert path is bypassed when this program is loaded.

219 InfiniteEcho

A variation of Analog Echo that adds the BlueComp compressor and Detune(M) to the analog feedback path. The compressor limits the feedback signal so that the effect never runs away. You can increase the number of repeats by turning up the front panel tone controls as well as altering the Delay Fbk parameter in the Soft Row. Note that, as Insert Returns are also in the feedback loop, the Insert path is bypassed when this program is loaded.

Programs220-229 give you playing styles from Surf to Techno.

220 Surf’s Up!

A surf sound that would make even Dick Dale envious. Press Tap to change the tremolo rate.

221 Slide Comp

A gritty preamp and two compressors in series. This is a slide players’ secret that enables them to get singing sustain when playing with a light touch.

222 Funk+FX

Ultra-clean, super compressed sound with chorus and a little bit of ambience to add some depth. The MPX R1 Toe Switch activates pedal wah.

223 Ballad Lead

Perfect lead sound for a rock ballad. Warm high-gain preamp with a hint of chorus and Tap tempo delay. All this flows into a lush plate reverb. The MPX R1 pedal controls volume. The Toe Switch turns the pedal on and off.

224 De DaDaDa

A great overall clean sound inspired by Andy Summers. A/B adds delay and more flange depth. Tap controls the rhythm of the delay times. The MPX R1 pedal controls volume. The Toe Switch turns the pedal on and off.

225 Rockabilly

Country chops — a clean preamp with some slap back echo and a little ambience. A/B changes from one slap back time delay time to another. The MPX R1 pedal controls volume. The Toe Switch turns the pedal on and off.
