Complex Echo

This effect has two feedback taps per channel as well as three independent taps, and also
a feedback diffuser for "smearing" the delays. Feedback line 1 feeds the signal back to the
delay input of the same channel, while feedback line 2 feeds the signal back to the opposite
channel.
FB2/FB1>FB is a balance control between feedback lines 1 and 2. 0% (minimum) turns off
feedback line 2, only allowing use of feedback line 1. 50% is an even mix of both lines, and
100% (maximum) turns off line 1.
L Diff Dly and R Diff Dly adjusts the delay lengths of the diffusers. Range is 0 to 100 ms.
Diff Amt adjusts the diffuser intensity. Range is 0 to 100%.
C Fdbk n Dly adjusts the delay length of the C channel's nth feedback tap, fed back to the C
channel's delay input. Range is 0 to 2600 ms.
Spectral Multitap Delays
These 4- and 6-tap delays have their feedback and output taps modified with shapers and
filters. In the feedback path of each tap are a diffuser, hipass filter, lopass filter, and imager.
Each delay tap has a shaper, comb filter, and balance and level controls.
Fdbk Image sets the amount that the stereo image is shifted each time it passes through the
feedback line. Range is -100 to 100%.
Tap n Shapr adjusts the intensity of the shaper at each output tap. Range is 0.10 to 6.00 x.
Tap n Pitch adjusts the frequency of the comb filter at each output tap. Range is C-1 to C8,
in semitones.
Tap n PtAmt adjusts the intensity of the comb filter at each output tap. Range is 0 to 100%.
Gated Ducking Delay
This runs the last thing you played through a looping delay, but only outputs the delay signal
when you aren't playing. Gated Ducking Delay is great for that announcer sound, sound,
sound, so popular in Monster Truck radio spots.
DegenRegen
This one's a big looping delay with lots of gain, distortion and filtering, and with a
compressor to keep it all under control.
Equalizers (EQ)
The Forte SE has both Graphic and Parametric EQ effects. Parametric EQ sections are also
found on a number of combination effects.
