Delay L (Delay Time Left)

Adjust the delay time from the original sound until the left delay sound is heard.

Delay R (Delay Time Right)

Adjust the delay time from the original sound until the right delay sound is heard.

Fbk (Feedback) #

Adjust the proportion (%) of the delay sound that is to be returned to the input. Positive (+) settings will return the signal to the input with the original phase, while negative (-) settings produce an inverted phase.

Level C (Level Center)

Adjust the volume of the left delay sound.

Level L (Level Left)

Adjust the volume of the center delay sound.

Level R (Level Right)

Adjust the volume of the right delay sound.

HF Damp

Adjust the frequency above which delayed sound fed back to the delay input will be cut.

If you do not want to cut the high frequencies of the feedback, set this parameter to BYPASS.

Out (Output Mode)

Adjust the method that will be used to hear the sound that is output to the OUTPUT jacks. The optimal 3D effect will be achieved if you select Speaker when using speakers, or Phones when using headphones.

Lo G (Low Gain)

Adjust the low frequency gain (amount of boost or cut). Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the low frequency range.

Hi G (High Gain)

Adjust the high frequency gain (amount of boost or cut). Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the high frequency range.

Balance (Effect Balance) #

Sets the volume balance between the source sound and the effect sound.

With a setting of D100:0W only the direct sound will be output, and with a setting of D0:100W only the effect sound will be output.

Pre Delay 1:2:3 (Pre Delay Time 1:2:3)

Specify the time delay from the original sound until the pitch shift 1–3 sound is heard.

Fbk 1:2:3 (Feedback Level 1:2:3)

Adjust the proportion (%) of the pitch shift 1–3 sound that is fed back into the effect.

Pan 1:2:3 (Output Pan 1:2:3)

Specify the stereo location of the pitch shift 1–3 sound. L64 is far left, 0 is center, and 63R is far right.

Level 1:2:3 (Level 1:2:3)

Specify the volume of the pitch shift 1--3.

Balance (Effect Balance)

Sets the volume balance between the source sound and the effect sound.

With a setting of D100:0W only the direct sound will be output, and with a setting of D0:100W the effect sound will be output.
