Description
This preset emulates vintage mechanical reverberation
that was generated with a metal plate. Its sound is char-
acterized by lots of early refl ections and no pre-delay.
This vintage plate emulation is warmer than your
standard plate, with a long reverberant tail, lots of fast
refl ections and a very short pre-delay.
This preset is characterized by lots of fast early refl ections
with a short pre-delay to simulate the sound of a small,
wood paneled room.
This room has a bright tone with lots of scattered refl ec-
tions to simulate harder, more refl ective surfaces.
This preset features a medium sized room sound, with
just enough enhancement of the lower mids to produce a
warm tone.
This preset simulates the sound of a small concert stage,
with a medium reverb time and reverberant space.
This reverb has a warm bodied tone and medium long
reverb time to simulate the live acoustics of a theater
space.
This preset emulates the sound of a large performance
stage, characterized by medium long reverb time and
pre-delay, plus a touch of sizzle.
This reverb simulates the sound of a spacious, yet cozy,
heavily draped and carpeted concert hall with an espe-
cially warm tone.
This hall reverb is characterized by its large, spacious
sound, long pre-delay, and vibrant tone.
This reverb emulates the extremely long tails, dense dif-
fusion and long pre-delays and refl ections that would be
found in a very large, stone walled house of worship.
This preset incorporates an age-old trick whereby an
extremely dense reverb is processed through a fast gate
for an interesting, albeit artifi cial, sound.
This preset provides a soft, ethereal sweeping effect that
is useful for thickening and for making a particular sound
pop out of the mix.
This preset perfectly combines the chorus effect above
with a large, roomy reverb.
This effect simulates the sound of a vocal or instrument
being recorded twice (double tracked) on a multi-track
recorder.
This effect provides a single, relatively rapid delay of the
original signal, with the added warmth that vintage tape-
based echo units provided.
These 6 delay presets provide one (delay 1), three (delay
2), or six (delay 3) repeats of the original signal. The
default delay time for each preset is shown in mS - the
smaller the time, the faster the delay. Delay times can
easily be customized to suit the moment by tapping the
knob [63] more than once.
This effect combines the thickening effect of the chorus
with the echoes of the 3-repeat delay effect.
Delay times can easily be customized to suit the moment
by using the Tap feature.
This effect combines the Warm Theater reverb effect with
the echoes of the 3-repeat delay effect.
Delay times can easily be customized to suit the moment
by using the Tap feature.
Example of its use
Perfect for thickening percussive instruments, such
as a snare drum, or tight vocal arrangements.
Particularly suited for vocal signals, but can also
be used for extra-thick drum tracks.
Useful for adding a tight and controlled
ambient effect to vocals and acoustic instruments.
Useful on vocals that require a brighter reverb to
cut through the mix, or for giving acoustic instru-
ments a livelier vibe.
Useful for vocals on songs that require a larger,
more "wet" sound, or for giving dimension to
bright horns without adding harshness.
Useful for vocals or guitars in fast paced, high-
energy songs that call for a "live" sounding
reverberation.
Perfect for vocals, drums, acoustic and electric
guitars, keyboards, and more.
Great for adding life and dimension to drums and
other acoustic instruments, and for that big live
vocal sound.
Perfect for adding natural concert hall ambience
to close-mic'ed orchestral instruments.
Adds life to acoustic instruments and vocals from
solos to full-on symphonies and choirs.
Gives amazing depth to choirs, wind instruments,
organs, and soft acoustic guitars.
Most often used to fatten snare drums and toms
without clutter.
Perfect for enhancement of electric and acoustic
guitar and bass, or to add a dramatic effect to
vocals, particularly group harmonies and choirs.
This lets you both thicken your sound with the
chorus effect while adding warmth and spacious-
ness thanks to the smooth reverb.
Provides a vibe that is similar to chorus without
the subtle swirl.
Often used on vocals for a 1950's era feel, or on
guitars for a surf-type tone. Often used by people
whose favorite number is 16.
These work best with full, up-beat music like rock
where the delay needs to cut through the mix.
Warm delays get progressively softer and warmer
in tone with each repetition and work great with
slow, mellow music. Bright delays have repeats
that are consistent in tone with the original sound.
Useful on a clean electric guitar that needs a
mildly swirling, ethereal tone.
Perfect for thickening vocals while adding dimen-
sions, it can also be used as a spacey effect on
electric guitars.
