Effect type
Type Explanation

The effect won't be applied.
DELAY Stereo delay

TAPE ECHO
Roland RE-201 Space Echo.
CHORUS This applies a chorus effect.
FLANGER
The flanging effect gives a twisting, jet-airplane-like character to the sound.
PHASER A phase-shifted sound is added to the original sound and modulated.
EQUALIZER This adjusts the tone as a equalizer.
COMP Flattens out high levels and boosts low levels, smoothing out fluctuations in volume.
WAH This produces a wah effect by modifying the filter in correspondence with the volume of the performance.
DIST
This effect distorts the sound to create long sustain.
This is an effect that applies amplitude modulation (AM) to the input signal, producing bell-like sounds. You
RINGMOD can also change the modulation frequency in response to changes in the volume of the sound sent into the
effect.
REVERB Adds reverberation to the sound, simulating an acoustic space.
