Type 2 adds more of the Phaser effect to the high frequencies than Type 1.

Mode

Selects the number of stages in the phaser (4/8).

Pol (Polarity)

Selects whether the left and right phase of the modulation will be the same or the opposite.

INVERSE:The left and right phase will be opposite. When using a mono source, this spreads the sound. SYNCHRO:The left and right phase will be the same. Select this when inputting a stereo source.
