Section 3 - Programming
The Effects s are used to jump to specific places in menus. For
example, if a Program contains several delays and you want to
change the delay time on only one of them, you could press the
<DLY/SMP> Effects Access button from Program's title screen and
you would be jumped to the first Parameter of the first delay in the
Algorithm. Press the button again, and you are taken to the first
Parameter of the next delay in the Algorithm, and so on.
Each Program in the Valve FX is equipped with Compression,
Distortion, Clean / Distortion Level, Noise Gate, DSP Master Level,
Parametric EQ, and Cabinet Emulator controls. These items are per-
manent residents of every Algorithm in the unit.
This group of items is called the Input / Output Module (or I/O Module)
because they are always a part of both the input and output audio
paths of the Valve FX. The following diagram shows how the I/O
Module affects the signal as it flows through the unit.

The Valve FX's Compression, Distortion, and Clean / Distortion Level
are analog for warmth and power. The Noise Gate, DSP Master Level,
Parametric EQ, and Cabinet Emulator are all accomplished in the digi-
tal realm for absolute flexibility and precision.
find that there are several factory Programs that are very close to what
you're looking for, but that need a few small tweaks to get them per-
fect. The effects used in each Program are arranged as Algorithms
and are explained in more detail on page 15.
