Shape
Phaser 1 / Phaser 2 / Phaser Sync
The Phaser is a classic effect that is created by ganging multiple all-pass filter stages to create "notches," or sharp dips
in the frequency spectrum. The frequencies of these all-pass filters are usually modulated by an LFO to create a
dramatic sweeping sound.
This effect is best used as an insert by turning 'DIRECT' off. See page 150 for more on this.

LP / HP Filter Sweep / Sync
This effect is a filter, with the frequency of the filter modulated by an LFO. Both Highpass and Lowpass filters are
available.

Autowah
This effect is a lowpass filter modulated by an envelope. The envelope is triggered by the incoming audio signal, and the
amount of effect the envelope has on the cutoff frequency can be controlled by the incoming audio signal's amplitude.
This yields a classic funky "wah wah" type sound.

HP / LP Filter
This effect is a static filter without modulation.

Controls the shape of the LFO, varying between a TRIANGLE (0) and a SQUARE (100) wave.
Controls the ratio of unprocessed and processed signal. At 100, the signal heard will be 100%
effected.
Controls the speed of the LFO.
Controls the amount of the phaser effect.
Controls the resonant peaks of the notch filters.
This selects how many all-pass filter stages, and thus notches are used.
Controls the ratio of unprocessed and processed signal. At 100, the signal heard will be 100%
effected.
Controls the lowest point of the filter sweep's frequency.
Controls the highest point of the filter sweep's frequency.
Controls the speed of the LFO.
Controls the emphasis of the frequency at the cutoff point.
Controls the ratio of unprocessed and processed signal. At 100, the signal heard will be 100%
effected.
Controls the emphasis of the frequency at the cutoff point.
Sets the amount of time the envelope takes to reach its maximum value. Slower attacks will
yield a string-like attack. Faster attack times will give you a more quick, punchy type sound.
This sets how long the envelope takes to go from maximum value to zero.
This sets the center point for the Autowah effect.
Controls how dramatically the autowah effect will respond to volume changes. Set this to a
lower value for louder sources, and a higher value for quieter sources.
Controls the frequency at which the filter will affect the incoming signal.
Controls the emphasis of the frequency at the cutoff point.
