Algorithm Descriptions
Digital, Variation 1.
A straightforward digital delay with triangle wave modulation and no
filtering. The triangle wave produces a very smooth modulation that
almost sounds like detuning instead of chorus. Delay time range: 20
milliseconds to about 0.9 seconds.
Digital, Variation 2.
This is a "Doubler" algorithm—an automatic double-tracking effect. It
uses random timing and pitch variations to mimic the sound of multiple
guitar tracks. It also tracks playing and makes larger adjustments to
the timing and pitch between notes.
Use the Dotted Eighth switch to get one extra track (doubling when
combined with dry signal) or two extra tracks (tripling). Adjust the Mix
knob for the amount of doubling effect preferred; at 100 percent it
approximates the "tracks" being equal volume. Note that as Mix is
increased, sound may lose some focus.
Analog, Variation 1.
Emulates an old-school "bucket brigade" analog delay in all its lo-fi
glory—a little grit, a little noise and a lack of high end that all help this
effect sit back in the mix behind a dry guitar sound. The modulation
LFO is a sine wave.
Analog, Variation 2.
Like Variation 1, but worse (and by worse we mean better). There are
fewer highs and lows, there's more grit, and the feedback is inverted
so the modulation can achieve credible flange sounds. Set Delay Time
low, set Feedback around 2 o'clock, and adjust Rate and Depth to
preference.
