Effects List

Effect Type Explanation

Equalizer

This is a four-band stereo equalizer (low, high).

Spectrum

This is a stereo spectrum.

Enhancer

Adds sparkle and tightness to the sound.

Isolator

Adds a special effect to the sound by cutting the

volume in varying ranges.

Low Boost

Boosts the volume of the lower range, creating

powerful lows.

High Pass Filter

This is a low-cut filter. It cuts the low-frequency

component.

Overdrive

Creates a soft distortion similar to that produced

by vacuum tube amplifiers.

Distortion

Produces a more intense distortion than Over-

drive.

Overdrive2

This is an overdrive that provides heavy distor-

tion.

Distortion2

This is a distortion effect that provides heavy dis-

tortion.

Speaker

Simulator

Simulates the speaker type and mic settings used

to record the speaker sound.

Guitar Amp

Simulator

This is an effect that simulates the sound of a guitar

amplifier.

Phaser

A phase-shifted sound is added to the original

sound and modulated.

Multi Stage

Phaser

Extremely high settings of the phase difference

produce a deep phaser effect.

Infinite Phaser

A phaser that continues raising/lowering the fre-

quency at which the sound is modulated.

Stereo Flanger

It produces a metallic resonance that rises and falls

like a jet airplane taking off or landing.

3D Flanger

This applies a 3D effect to the flanger sound.

2Band Flanger

A flanger that lets you apply an effect indepen-

dently to the low-frequency and high-frequency

ranges.

Auto Wah

Cyclically controls a filter to create cyclic change in

timbre.

Humanizer

Adds a vowel character to the sound, making it

similar to a human voice.

Ring Modulator

This is an effect that applies amplitude modulation

(AM) to the input signal, producing bell-like

sounds.

Tremolo

Cyclically modulates the volume to add tremolo

effect to the sound.

Auto Pan

Cyclically modulates the stereo location of the

sound.

Slicer

By applying successive cuts to the sound, this ef-

fect turns a conventional sound into a sound that

appears to be played as a backing phrase.

Compressor

Flattens out high levels and boosts low levels,

smoothing out fluctuations in volume.

Limiter

Compresses signals that exceed a specified volume

level, preventing distortion from occurring.

Stereo Chorus

This is a stereo chorus.

Hexa Chorus

Uses a six-phase chorus (six layers of chorused

sound) to give richness and spatial spread to the

sound.

Tremolo Chorus

This is a chorus effect with added Tremolo (cyclic

modulation of volume).

Space D

Produces a transparent chorus effect.

3D Chorus

This applies a 3D effect to the chorus sound.

2 Band Chorus

A chorus effect that lets you apply an effect inde-

pendently to the low-frequency and high-frequen-

cy ranges.

Rotary

The Rotary effect simulates the sound of the rotary

speakers often used with the electric organs of the

past.

Rotary2

This type provides modified response for the rota-

ry speaker, with the low end boosted further.

Rotary Multi

It comprises vibrato/chorus, overdrive, and rotary

effects.
