Reverbs - DigiTech RP1000 - MANUAL 2 Owner's Manual

chips were the first ways to produce delay aside from the costly tape delays. The delay sound
was not HiFi but was reminiscent of the original signal and quickly became a cornerstone to
modern guitar sounds due to their warm qualities.
Boss® DM2 Analog Delay:
The DM2 is a classic and standard BBD analog delay that used 4,096 stages of delay. The frequen-
cy response and noise depended upon the delay time. The signal derogates with every repeat so
as the repeats are turned up, the signal becomes less and less recognizable and actually becomes
more of an "effect" than a delay.
Digital Delay
A digital delay can be called a perfect representation of your guitar's signal. Desired for their bril-
liant qualities, digital delays have virtually no noise and a full frequency response.
Lo Fi Delay: The Lo Fi delay is an analog delay with a severely limited frequency response to
produce an even grungier delay effect.
Maestro EP-2 Tube Echoplex
The Echoplex is the standard to which all analog delays are judged. The Echoplex was the first
widely used tape delay and had a tone all of it's own. The Echoplex can be heard on many rocka-
billy, surf, country and rock tracks.
Modulated Delay
A modulated delay is a digital delay with chorus added to the delays to produce a wider sound-
ing stereo delay.
Pong Delay
A pong delay's repeats jump from side to side and requires a stereo setup.
Reverse Delay: The Reverse Delay senses the guitar's input signal and plays the delayed guitar
backwards once it is sampled. Reverse delay used to be a studio trick, now with modern tech-
nology it exists in a stompbox!
Tape Delay
The tape delay effect produces a warm tone by limiting the frequency response and adding the
distortion that exists in a tape delay.
2-Tap Delay
While most delays are derived from a signal delay with one end tap, the 2-Tap Delay uses a single
delay line but with two endpoints that are spaced about at different ratios. Use this effect to add
more of a rhythmic quality to your delays.

Reverbs

EMT® 240 Plate Reverb
The EMT Plate Reverb is the reverence reverb to which all studio reverbs are compared to.
Using a large sheet of metal, one end of the "plate" was excited by a transducer and the sound
would then travel through the plate to the other side where the delayed tone was received. The
frequency response and dynamics of the signal would change when traveling through the plate
creating a reverb effect.
Lexicon® Ambience
The Lexicon Ambience reverb is full, bright and produces ambience around or behind your guitar
signal.
Lexicon Hall
The largest of the Lexicon reverbs, the Hall produces lush reverbs with a swirling decay unlike
any other reverbs today.
Lexicon Room
A great effect to produce a small room, the Lexicon Room produces that reverb found in many
isolation rooms in recording studios today.
