Peavey 100 manual Phaser, Delay, Parameters

Phaser

The classic phaser, or phase shifter, was one of the most commonly recorded effects of the 70’s. This effect modulates the phase shift amount of a signal and sums it back to the dry signal.

Parameters

•On/Off: The On/Off parameter determines whether the Tremolo/Phaser effect is activated.

•Chorus/Flanger/Phaser: The Chorus/Flanger/Phaser parameter determines which effect is selected, the Chorus (Ch), Flanger (FL) or Phaser (Ph).

•Rate: The Rate parameter adjusts the rate at which the phase shift is modulated. It can be varied from 0-99.

•Depth: The Depth control adjusts a feedback loop in the phase shifter to allow for a higher frequency and a more resonant whistle. Do not confuse this with a depth control on a chorus where the depth at 0 means no effect. The 0-99 range sounds the most normal when set around 50, and sounds like more elaborate phase shifters with color switches, etc. when set to around 99.

Delay

This delay effect is a tapped delay, consisting of left and right delay lines separated by 20 mS delay time when in Stereo mode. It includes parameters for delay time, feedback, and wet/dry mix, and is affected by the global setting of the DSP Edge control. This control allows for simulation of tape or analog echoes by changing the amount of highs in the delay line.

Parameters

•On/Off: The On/Off parameter determines whether the Delay effect is activated.

•Delay Time: The Delay Time parameter sets the amount of time between the dry and delayed signals. If adjacent presets use different delay times, and the delay effect is on, the delay will simply change to the new time without stopping the repeats. The range is 0-87 and represents delay times of 0 to 870 mS in 10 mS intervals.

•Feedback: The Feedback parameter affects the number of repeats that the delay will produce. The range is 0-99, with 0 representing a single echo, or slap-back delay, and 99 yielding almost infinite repeats. When changing between presets containing delay, the delays will continue repeating after changing to the new preset if the delay time has not changed. If no delay is desired, but you do not wish to cut the tail off of the previous preset, set the time and feedback the same and set the mix to zero. If the delay is turned off on the newly selected preset, the delays will stop.

•Mix: The Mix parameter allows mixing between wet and dry. For a maximum delay level and minimum dry level, adjust this parameter to 99. A setting of 0 will result in only dry signal passing through.
