SEPARATE STEREO EFFECT (with separate inputs and output in common). FX 22 has been designed by LEM around the powerful RED 208 DSP, the same as is used on the FALCON digital mixer. The 40-bit processing together with the use of 20 and 24-bit converters ensures the maximum audio quality and allows to obtain very rich and accurate effects.
FX 22 Getting started Getting started To start using your FX 22, first of all connect the external power supply to the socket on the rear panel, then to the mains supply. To discover the unit’s potential, proceed gradually; firstly using one effect on a single instrument, then two effects simultaneously and lastly, two independent effects on two different instruments.

FX 22 Getting started SITUATION B: 1 INSTRUMENT / 2 EFFECTS The FX 22 allows you to use two different effects simultaneously on the same signal. To try out this function, leave the unit connected as for the first experiment, but set the MODE selector at COMBI: the effects of the two FX A and FX B sections are now summed on the same signal.

FX 22 Getting started SITUATION C: 2 INSTRUMENTS / 2 EFFECTS In DUAL mode, on the other hand, the FX 22 operates like two completely separate processors and allows you to process two signals or two different instruments completely independently. To try out DUAL mode, proceed as follows: 1 - Connect send 1 of the mixer (or the output of the first instrument) to the FX A input.
FX 22 Front panel Front panel FX A PRESETS Rotary selector for choosing the type of preset used by the FX A section. 11 positions are available: 1/6 - Reverbs, 7 - Delay, 8/9 - Modulations, 10/11 - Combo. FX A PEAK Peak LED of the FX A section: indicates that the input signal level is too high.

FX 22 Front panel LEFT OUT FX A INPUT FX A RIGHT OUT FX B INPUT FX B FX 22 - COMBI MODE In COMBI mode, the two sections (FX A and FX B) operate in series and allow you to apply two different effects to the same signal.
FX 22 Rear panel Rear panel DC IN External 12V power supply connector. FOOTSWITCH Connector for a footswitch which enables the BYPASS function. BYPASS status is indicated by the two PEAK LEDs flashing. This pedal enables you to switch effects on and off even if you’re playing and your hands aren’t free.
FX 22 PRESETS PRESETS The FX 22 has different types of effects, distributed over the 11 PRESET BANKS: FX 22 - PRESET LIST REVERBS BRIGHT HALL WARM HALL ROOM VOCAL PLATE GATE DELAYS DELAY MODULATIONS CHORUS/FLANGER PHASER/ROTARY COMBOS REV + DELAY REV + CHORUS Each PRESET then has 11 VARIATIONS that enable you to adapt the effect to the characteristics of the signal to be processed.

FX 22 PRESETS 1. BRIGHT HALL These are bright HALL Reverbs, full of harmonics at the top end of the spectrum and suitable for wide general use. These PRESETS are particularly suitable for vocals, wind instruments and percussion. The variations regard room size, reflecting surfaces, pre-delay and filtering. Preset Pre-delay Rev Time...

FX 22 PRESETS 3. ROOM In these 11 variations, you can find practically all the most common ROOM reverb settings. Small and medium-small rooms quite full of high frequencies or, on the contrary, darker and with less high frequencies. The majority of the variations are dedicated to percussive sounds (snare drum, kick drum and toms) and signals with a fast attack.
Page 15
FX 22 PRESETS 5. PLATE The classic simulation of a plate reverb, still very often used on vocals and drums. The variations are divided into four groups (Drums, Piano, Vocal and Choir), with the possibility of choosing between different room size, realized with increasing values of Pre-delay, Rev Time and Room Size. No.

FX 22 PRESETS 7. DELAY This preset’s variations include stereo delay, mono delay, bouncing delay, tape-back and some special effects. Tempo is indicated in BPM: 75,100, 110,120,132,160. With these figures, you can synchronize the delay with a piece’s tempo. No. Preset Left Delay Right Delay Left F.B.

FX 22 PRESETS 9. PHASER/ROTARY PHASERS are among the best-known modulation effects and the first five variations have some of the most common settings for use with this effect. ROTARY, TREMOLO and LESLIE effects are available in Fast and Slow versions. No.
