of just one.
¥ Flanging Flanging is similar to chorusing, but modulates the delayed
signal over a much shorter delay range (typically 0-12 ms). This
produces a Òjet airplaneÓ-like sound. Mono and stereo flanging is
available, and the flange modulation sweep can be triggered in order
to sync up with the rhythm of your playing.
¥ Detune Shifts the pitch by a fixed amount. This creates a thickening
effect similar to the difference between a 12-string and 6-string guitar.
¥ Phase Shifter This effect is similar to flanging, but covers a narrower
delay range and has a more diffused timbral quality.
¥ Lezlie Speaker Simulator With the Lezlie configuration selected, the
pitch change module becomes a rotating speaker simulator. Rotating
speakers, which involved mechanically rotating one or two speakers
to produce complex timbral changes, were extremely popular during
the 1960s.

Equalization

Equalization provides control over the tone of your signal by altering the
frequency response in various ways. The QuadraVerb GT's three
different types of EQ are:
¥ 3 Band Parametric This combines high and low frequency shelving
equalizers (like the tone controls found on stereo systems and guitar
amps) along with a sweepable midrange parametric stage (see Ó5 Band
Parametric,Ó next) that has variable boost or cut, frequency, and
bandwidth (resonance, or ÒbiteÓ). This works well for dialing in
rhythm guitar sounds.
The high and low shelving bands offer two parameters, amplitude
and frequency. Amplitude sets the amount of boost or cut; frequency
sets the frequency at which the maximum boost or cut occurs. This
boost continues for frequencies higher than the high frequency and
lower than the low frequency.
