Peavey 100 manual Reverb, Parameters

Reverb

Probably one of the most important guitar effects of all time, reverb practically created surf music. This reverb effect uses four possible reverb types—spring, plate, room, and hall—and a reverb time control to simulate many different types of reverbs. The global setting of the DSP Edge control can be used to simulate darker caverns, bright rooms, warm spring reverbs, etc., by tailoring the tone of the reverb tails.

Parameters

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

•Reverb Type: The Reverb Type parameter selects one of four possible reverb types: spring (SP), plate (PL), room (ro), and hall (hL). Each type has different types of delays and different tone settings which, when combined with the time parameter, allow for many variations of reverb settings.

•Time: The Time parameter affects the length of time that the reverb tails last. The range is 0-99, with 0 representing a very small room and 99 yielding a huge, cavernous amount of reverb.

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

As with the delay, you can preserve reverb tails when changing presets. Make sure the type and time parameters match, then set mix to desired settings (even to zero for off), which will cause the REVERB LED to be off, even though the on/off parameter is On).

EQ

The Master section includes four important parameters: the EQ parameter, Left Wet/Dry Mix, Right Wet/ Dry Mix, and the Master Volume. These are all preset-dependent parameters (i.e., are saved as part of each preset) and allow for greater flexibility by allowing each preset to contain different volume, mix, and equalization settings.

Parameters

•EQ/Off: The EQ/Off parameter determines whether the EQ is off, or set on one of 7 preset EQ curves: Phone (Ph): resonant mid boost for a telephone sound

Low boost (Lo): boosts the low end and cuts the presence

High boost (hi): boosts the highs

Clean (CL): boosts the presence while slightly reducing the low-mids

Lead (Ld): slightly boosts the mids while slightly reducing the presence

Bass (bS): smiley-face

Bright (br): increased highs with sharply reduced presence

•Left Wet/ Dry: The Left Wet/ Dry parameter sets the wet/dry mix for the left output. This is particularly useful if you wish to bypass the effects section on one side while the other side is full wet. This parameter can also be used to reduce the effects level without going to each individual effect mix control. The range

is 0-99, with full dry at 0 and full wet at 99.

•Right Wet/Dry: The Right Wet/Dry parameter sets the wet/dry mix for the right output.

•Master Volume: The Master Volume parameter sets the overall volume of for each preset. The range is from 0-31 (-46.5 dB to 0 dB in 1.5 dB steps). Adjusting this volume will not affect the clip indicator.
