DIGITAL PROCESSING ARENA
This is a brief overview of the digital processing capabilities of your new FX™ mixer. While you can
expect incredible results following this guide, mastering the art of digital processing will be achieved
through experimentation. Keep in mind that until you confirm your changes by pressing "save", no
alterations have been made to the presets. Peavey engineers programmed your mixer with a variety of
the most commonly used presets, which are ready to use right out of the box. However, your FX mixer
will only reach its full digital processing potential through your acquired expertise. Review the process
below and begin exploring the digital mixing world beyond factory presets.
44A Effects Screen
When you power up your FX Mixer, the Peavey logo will briefly appear on the LCD (47). In a few seconds,
once the mixer software is fully loaded, the effects screen will appear on the LCD (47). Your FX Mixer fea-
tures a variety of commonly used factory presets and plenty of user-defined, customizable presets. Each
preset effect may contain 1-3 effects. The split screen display (EFX 1 and EFX 2) contains information for
the current, active presets. The two active presets shown on the LCD (47) are independent and can be
assigned to any channel(s) using EFX 1-2 Sends (8) . The screen displays the preset number (effects 1-
99), the title for that individual effect (Church Choir, for example), and which effects are included in that
preset (compressor, reverb, delay, etc.). To change the preset for EFX 1 or EFX 2, use the corresponding
Software Encoder knob (45) . When you reach the
desired preset, you will be prompted to select the
new preset by pressing the Effects switch (44). An
asterisk will appear beside any preset number that
has been edited but not saved. Once a new preset
has been selected, you may return to the previous
preset by pressing the software encoder (Recall). To
edit a preset, press the software switch labeled Edit
and follow the on-screen directions, which allow in-
dividual parameter changes. For example, you may
wish to increase the bass and decrease the amount
of reverb on the "Joe's Bar" preset(preset 37). The
"lib" (library) is a helpful place to start. Peavey has pre-programmed your FX mixer with a library of com-
monly used effects settings (Delay, Reverb, Deesser, etc.). You may choose to use the library effect as
programmed or tweak the parameters to your own personal preference.
