24-BIT MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSOR
Here you can find a list of all presets stored in the multi-effects processor.
This built-in effects module produces high-grade standard effects such as
reverb, chorus, flanger, delay and various combination effects. The integrated
effects module has the advantage of requiring no wiring. This way, the danger
of creating ground loops or uneven signal levels is eliminated at the outset,
completely simplifying the handling.
These effect presets are designed to be added to dry signals. If you move the
FX TO MAIN control, you mix the channel signal (dry) and the effect signal.
This also goes for mixing effects signals with the monitor mix. The main
difference is that the mix ratio is adjusted using the FX TO MON control. Of course,
a signal has to be fed into the effects processor via the FX control in the channel
strip for both applications.

On the following page, you will find an illustration showing how to
connect your foot switch correctly.
LEVEL
The LED level meter on the effects module should display a sufficiently high
level. Take care to ensure that the clip LED only lights up at peak levels. If it is
lit constantly, you are overloading the effects processor and this could cause
unpleasant distortion. The FX control (AUX SEND 2) determines the level that
reaches the effects module.
PROGRAM
You can select the effect preset by turning the PROGRAM control. The display
flashes the number of the current preset. To recall the selected preset, press the
button; the flashing stops. You can also recall the selected preset with the
foot switch.
