Multi-Effects Modules

The 2120 VGS Multi Effect Modules allow the User to combine either Delay and Chorus or Delay and Flange within one Effect module block.
This is ideal for situations where the User needs to add another effect to the Effect configuration, but is running low on signal processing
resources. Within the module, there is a unique parameter that allows you route the signal several different ways between the two effects.
Multi-Effect Module Parameters:
FX: Lvl
Dry: Lvl
Balance
Route
Speed
Depth
Feedback (Flanger)
WvFrm
C/F: Delay
Delay Time

Whammy Effects

In today's music industry, it seems that every album on the charts, whether it be Country, Rock, Industrial, or Alternative, are using the
DigiTech Whammy technology in some shape or form. Whether it be a subtle chorus Detune, or an all out 2 octave Whammy Dive, the
Whammy effect is one of the most innovative effects ever designed.
Whammy Effect Parameters:
Whammy On/Off
FX Level
Dry Level
46
Controls the signal input level fed to the module. Ranges from Off to 100%.
Controls the level of the dry (uneffected) signal. Ranges from Off to 100%.
Controls the positioning of the dry signal in the stereo soundfield. Ranges from -99 (all left) to 99 (all right).
Selects the route signal path within the Chorus/Delay, and Flange/Delay Multi effects modules. The 3 settings are:
1) Chorus/Flange into Delay with feedback into the Delay 2) Chorus/Flange into Delay with feedback into
Chorus/Flange 3) Delay into Chorus/Flange with feedback thru the Chorus/Flange.
Controls the Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) Speed of the Chorus or Flanger. Ranges from 0.06 to 16.0 Hz.
Adjusts the intensity of the Chorus or Flanger effect. Ranges from 0 to 30 milliseconds.
Controls how much of the flanged signal is fed back to the input of the Module. The FDBACK Parameter is what
gives flangers their distinctive voice. Flangers are capable of both positive and negative feedback loops, so
experiment to find the sound you like best. Ranges from -99% to 99%.
Selects which waveform the LFO follow. Options for this control include: Sine, Triangle, SP1 (Special 1), and SP2
(Special 2).
Controls the delay time of the Chorus or Flanger voice. Ranges from 0 to 40 milliseconds.
Sets the delay time for the delay tap. Ranges from 0 to 300 milliseconds.
Controls the fade time of the delay repeats. Higher settings take longer to fade out, while a setting of zero will
limit the delay to one repeat. Ranges from 0 to 99%.
Allows you to change the Delay time in real-time by tapping the TAPIT button at the tempo you want. Delay voice
percentages do not change when using this control.
Controls the overall output level of each effect block. Ranges from Off to 100%.
Controls the stereo soundfield placement of each effect block. Ranges from -99 (all left) to 99 (all right).
Turns the Whammy module on or off. When the module is turned off, the signal will only continue to pass
through the module if the dry level is turned up.
This parameter lets you select the overall FX level mix of the Whammy effect module. Ranges from: Off to 100%.
This parameter lets you select the amount of Dry signal that is included in the Whammy effect. Ranges from: Off
