Whammy/Ips - DigiTech GNX1 User Manual

Threshold - The Number 3 Knob selects the maximum strength the signal is allowed to reach before the
compressor begins to work. Low Threshold settings will activate the Compressor with weaker signals.
Higher settings will require a stronger signal to activate compression. Ranges from 0 to 99.
Gain - The Number 4 Knob adjusts the Output Gain from the Compressor.This parameter should be used to
balance the level of the Compressor in order to achieve unity gain. It is possible to clip other effects in the
GNX1 by setting the Compressor Gain too high. Ranges from 0 to 20 (dB).
The Number 5 knob has no function when the Compressor is selected.

Whammy/IPS

This module includes 4 types of pitch altering effects:Whammy™, IPS, Detune, and Pitch Shift.The Status button
engages (IPS ON) and disengages (IPSOFF) the Whammy/IPS module.The Number 1 Knob (Type) selects whether
the module is a WHAMMY (Whammy™), IPS (Intelligent Pitch Shifter), DETUNE (Detuner), or PITCH (Pitch Shifter).
Parameters 1, 2, and 3 in the Matrix will have different functions depending upon which effect is selected in this
module.
Whammy™ is an effect that uses an Expression Pedal to bend the pitch of the incoming signal, or add a bendable
harmony with the original signal. As the Pedal is moved, the note will bend either up or down.When Whammy™ is
selected, it is automatically placed before the Amp Modeling as shown in the block diagram (at the beginning of the
Effects section).The Whammy™ effect must be linked to the Expression Pedal in order to function. See page 32 for
more information on linking the Expression Pedal.
Parameter 1 (Whammy™) - The Number 2 Knob selects the interval and direction of the pitch bend. Choices
Whammy (no Dry Signal)
1OCTUP (1 octave up)
2OCTUP (2 octaves up)
2NDDWN (a second down)
REV2ND (a second down reversed pedal action)
4THDWN (a fourth down)
1OCTDN (an octave down)
2OCTDN (2 octaves down)
DIVBOM (Dive Bomb)
Parameter 2 (Whammy™) - The Number 3 Knob provides a manual control of the Whammy™ pedal position.
The Number 4 knob has no function when the Whammy™ is selected.
Intelligent Pitch Shifting (IPS) makes a copy of the incoming signal, and then changes the pitch of the copied note
to a diatonically correct interval specified by the Amount Parameter. An Intelligent Pitch Shifter differs from a regular
Pitch Shifter in the fact that an Intelligent Pitch Shifter will sharp or flat the shifted pitch in order to keep the specified
interval within the selected key and scale creating a true harmony.
Parameter 1 (IPS) - The Number 2 Knob selects the Amount or harmony interval for the Intelligent Pitch Shifter.
Interval choices include:
OCTDN (octave down)
7THDN (a seventh below)
6tHDN (a sixth below)
5tHDN (a fifth below)
4tHDN (a fourth below)
3RDDN (a third below)
2NDDN (a second below)
Parameter 2 (IPS) - The Number 3 Knob selects the scale the IPS will use. Key choices include: MAJOR (Major),
MINOR (minor), DORIAN (Dorian), MIXLYD (Mixolydian), LYDIAN (Lydian), HARMIN
(Harmonic minor).
Parameter 3 (IPS) - The Number 4 Knob selects the musical key the IPS will use. Key choices range from KEY E
(Key E) through KEY E&(Key Eb) .
