Johnson Millennium
Dly A - B | Controls the delay time of flange voice A or B. Shorter delay times produce a more dramatic, deeper sweeping sound. |
| Ranges from 0 to 60 milliseconds. |
Out A - B | Adjusts the overall level of flange voice A or B. Ranges from Off to 100%. |
Pan A - B | Controls the stereo soundfield placement of flange voice A or B. Ranges from |
Out L - R | Controls the output level of the left or right side of the flanger. Ranges from Off to 100%. |
Phasers
The Phaser or “Phase Shifter” as it is sometimes called, is a classic effect from the 70's that uses phase cancellation to create a warm sweeping effect. The effect is created by making a copy of a signal and moving it in and out of phase while mixing it with the original signal. As it moves, different frequencies are cancelled out creating a smooth curling sound. There is also a feedback control that sends the shifting signal back into the phaser's input. This intensifies the sound even more.
When do I use a Phaser? A great example of this can be heard most when you listen to music of the 70’s. Guitarist of the day loved their Phasers. A Phaser is a great effect to use when playing clean and funky rhythms.
Phaser Parameters:
Dry: Lvl | Controls the level of the dry (uneffected) signal. Ranges from Off to 100%. |
Balance | Controls the positioning of the dry signal in the stereo soundfield. Ranges from |
Speed | Controls the Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) speed of the phaser. Ranges from 0.06 to 16.0 Hz. |
Depth | Controls the intensity of the phaser effect. High settings of DEPTH combined with high settings of FDBCK produce |
| dramatic, |
FdBck | Controls how much of the flanged signal is fed back to the input of the Module. The FDBACK Parameter is what gives |
| phasers their distinctive resonating sound. Ranges from |
WvFrm | Selects which waveform the LFO follows. Options for this control include sine, triangle, SP1 (Special 1), and SP2 |
| (Special 2). The sine wave setting is probably the most easily recognized, but the smooth response of the triangle |
| wave or the intensity of SP1 or SP2 typically produce better results. See figure |
Out A - B | Adjusts the overall level of phaser voice A or B. Ranges from Off to 100%. |
Pan A - B | Controls the stereo soundfield placement of phaser voice A or B. Ranges from |
Out L - R | Controls the output level of the left or right side of the flanger. Ranges from Off to 100%. |
