Peavey 100 manual INDIVIDUAL EFFECTS/PARAMETERS Distortion/Exciter, Changing Parameters

Changing Parameters:

Use the ▲ FX EDIT button to select which parameter you wish to edit. The main display will show the current value that the particular parameter is set to. To adjust the parameter, use the parameter ▲ or ▼ buttons. First, select the pitch shift semi-tone parameter by pressing the ▲ FX EDIT button. Set the parameter using the parameter up or down buttons.

Use the ▲ FX EDIT button to select the cents parameter and use the parameter up or down button to set it. Note that if the parameter ▲ or ▼ button is held down, it will scroll to the desired value.

Now use the ▲ FX EDIT button to select the mix parameter and use the parameter ▲ or ▼ buttons to set it.

To select the delay effect, use the		▲		FX EDIT button and use the parameter ▲ or ▼ to turn it off. Once the
effect is turned off, it isn’t necessary to zero out the parameters.
To select the EQ effect Use the	▲		FX EDIT button. It is currently set to Ld (lead), but in this instance, change

it to CL (clean). Press the parameter ▼ button one time to get to the CL position.

Storing Edited Presets:

After making all the changes to the preset, store it by pressing the Store button. Note that the display will blink between S.t and 4.A, indicating that the destination preset location is 4.A. To select a different destination preset location, simply use the parameter ▲ or ▼ buttons. Once the appropriate destination preset number is in the display, press Store again to store the preset there. At any point during the store process, press the Play button to abort the store operation.

Selecting the Analog Compressor:

Each Vocal 100 user preset may utilize the built-in Analog Compressor. This is indicated by the Enabled LED inside the compression block on the faceplate. To change the selected compressor status for a preset, simply press the COMP. button and follow the same storing procedure as listed above to store the change.

INDIVIDUAL EFFECTS/PARAMETERS

Distortion/Exciter

The Distortion effect is a clipped, overdriven version of the dry signal. The Exciter adds subtle harmonics to the dry signal for extra sizzle.

Parameters

•Off/Drive: The Off/Drive parameter determines whether the effect is activated and controls the amount of

drive. There are 10 exciter settings (E0 - E9) and 10 distortion settings (D0 - D9). Note: When adjusting the distortion settings, increase slowly to avoid feedback.

•Voicing: This parameter selects different EQ voicings. Listen to each to see which best fits your needs.

•Volume: The Volume parameter controls the signal level after the distortion. With exciter, it controls the amount of added harmonics without changing the raw signal.

•Noise Gate Threshold: The Noise Gate Threshold sets the minimum signal level allowed to pass through the noise gate. Higher values yield less allowable low level signals (a higher noise floor). Lower values allow more low level signals to pass (a lower noise floor), thus allowing unblocked noise to go through the

noise gate.
