Applying Effects

Each section of the HS-5 provides reverb to add reverberation to your vocal or performance, as well as
effects for guitar, bass, and vocal.

Applying Reverb

Adding reverb to your vocal or instrumental performance makes the sound smoother and improves the
overall balance of your performance.
* If you add excessive reverb, your vocal or instrumental performance can become buried in the
reverberation, making it indistinct.
Start by applying only a small amount of reverberation, and make adjustments as needed.
