6.2 Effect descriptions
The following section contains short descriptions of the effects that can be produced using the
6.2.1 Reverb and delay algorithms
REVERB: Reverb is still the most important effect for mixing or live performance. That’s why we at BEHRINGER make a point of giving you as many as nine different reverb programs so that you can use the most suitable reverb program for any situation. The reverb effect can be added separately to all the other effects (see chapter 6.2).
ECHO: Echo is similar to the stereo delay effect in that it is a delayed repetition of the input signal. The main difference is that the
DELAY: This algorithm delays the input signal, with different tempo settings producing interesting delay effects. U2’s The Edge has impressivley demonstrated the potential of this effect.
PING PONG: A delay effect that changes position in the stereo image.
6.2.2 Modulation effects
PHASER: The principle behind the phaser is that a second,
FLANGER: This effect is
CHORUS: This effect adds a slightly modulated
6.2.3Combinations of effect algorithms
PHASER & DELAY: Phaser and delay combined.
FLANGER & DELAY: Here the input signal is delayed and processed with a pronounced
CHORUS & DELAY: This algorithm combines signal delay with the popular chorus effect.
CHORUS & COMP: Incredible sustain effects can be produced with the compressor. This is especially useful for sustaining individual guitar notes. Combined with chorus, it can make the audio signal extremely dense.
6.2.4 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
TREMOLO: Simulates the classic Fender Tremolo. It has returned to popularity with
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
