Digital Effects

When it comes to digital multi effects, Digitech's reputation is second to none. We've been perfecting this art form for almost twenty years, so
you know that the 2120 VGS is thoroughly equipped with a pristine, ultra-quiet digital effect section.
Effects include:
• Digital EQ
• Choruses
• Chromatic Pitch Shifters
• Smooth Whammy
• Auto Panners
Up to 8 digital effects at once

Seamless Program changes
When a program change is made, there is no apparent "drop out" of signal. You can also program the hold and release times so program
effects overlap each other at different rates.
Setting and changing seamless program times can be done on Page 4 of the Master mix menu of each program in the Edit mode. Seamless
program change time ranges from 0.0 seconds to Infinity for both hold and Ramp times.
Real time Modifiers:
amplitude, the settings of a Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) or MIDI Continuous Controller information.
Every Program in the 2120 VGS has a set of modifiers. Up to 16 Modifier links can be assigned to control parameters. There are three types
of Modifiers that can be linked to a parameter: MIDI CCs, LFOs, and Dynamic (signal level dependent).
MIDI CCs
: When you use MIDI CCs, your 2120 VGS responds to CC numbers 0-127 and CHP (channel pressure or aftertouch).
For example, you can have a synth's modulation wheel (usually MIDI CC#1) control the in level of a reverb and chorus in one program while
the delay feedback may be controlled in another.
LFOs
: When you use LFOs, parameter values can be controlled automatically between a defined minimum and maximum setting at a
user-definable rate. Your 2120 VGS has 2 user definable LFOs in each program that can be assigned to any parameter.
For example, you can create an auto panner without using an auto panner module. Simply link an effect's output pan parameter to the LFO
modifier and the LFO will move that parameter back and forth. This modifier can be a very useful weapon in the ongoing battle of new sound
creation. There are two LFOs available in each program that can use unique speeds and waveforms.
Dynamic Modifiers:
The possibilities are nearly endless, and they cannot be duplicated using any other method.
For more information on using modifiers see the "Using Modifiers" section.

• Noise Gates
• Flangers
• Detuners
• Phasers
• Rotary Speaker Emulation
(Dual S-DISC II configurations) When utilizing a dual S-DISC II configuration, you can link up to 8
(single S-DISC II algorithms): Smooth program changes are a breeze with Seamless program changes.
Modifiers are unique tools that can be used to dramatically alter your sound based on information from signal
When you use Dynamic modifiers, the parameter values are controlled in relation to the dynamics of the input signal.
