- Page 24 ® ® HUSH is Rocktron's patented single-ended noise reduction system, and is avail- able in all presets. The HUSH system provided in the Prophesy is a fully digital imple- mentation, modeled after the latest analog HUSH design, achieved through Digital Signal Processing (DSP).
- Page 25 HUSH Page H U S H HUSH The HUSH parameter determines whether the HUSH current preset. (Off, On) HUSH THRESH The HUSH THRESHOLD parameter determines the level at which downward expansion begins. For example, if the HUSH THRESHOLD was set at -20dB and the input signal dropped below -20dB, downward expansion would begin.
- Page 26 The compressor allows you to compress the signal prior to the distortion stage. Compression is often used to maintain an even volume level when using clean tones, and is also used to increase sustain when using distorted tones. Compressor Page C-THRESH C-ATTACK C-RELEASE...
- Page 27 Compression is most often used when playing with a very clean tone, like in the Clean American or Texas Blues voicings. Since there is very little or no clipping (distortion), the guitar signal will remain very dynamic, which means that there is a lot of variance in volume levels. For example, when you strum a chord or pick a note, it sounds very loud at first and then dies out quickly.
- Page 28 The Prophesy includes an internal wah-wah which can either be used as a fixed wah or can be controlled by an expression pedal through continuous control changes. Use of this feature eliminates the need to run long audio cables out to a conventional wah-wah pedal.
- Page 29 The preamp pages are available in all presets. They are all accessible via the front panel PAGE control, however the PREAMP button provides immediate access to the first preamp page. In addition, turning any of the front panel instant access controls when the preset title is displayed will also instantly access the first preamp page.
- Page 30 Preamp Page 2: Channel/Voicing CHANNEL V-CN RUN STAT V-PED Preamp Page 3: Pre EQ The PRE EQ pages allow you to shape the tone prior to the distortion stage. Considerable tone variations can be achieved by modifying these pre-distort EQ parameters.
- Page 31 PRELF The PRE LOW FREQUENCY level parameter allows you to cut or boost the low frequencies from -15dB to +12dB prior to the distortion stage. This EQ section is a shelving-type. (-15.0 to +12.0) PRELFF The PRE LOW FREQUENCY FREQUENCY parameter allows you to select a frequency band with an upper frequency between 63Hz and 500Hz to be cut or boosted by the pre-LF LEVEL parameter.
- Page 32 Preamp Page 4: Post EQ The Post EQ page allows you shape the tone after it has passed through the distortion stage. These post-distortion EQ parameters have a more pronounced effect on the overall tone than the pre-distortion parameters. PEQ1 PEQ1F PEQ1BW PEQ2...
- Page 33 Preamp Page 5: Global EQ The Global EQ page allows you to shape the tone at the output of the Prophesy for all presets. This feature is useful, for example, if you are playing in a venue which provides acoustics that would require readjustment of the EQ parameters of all the Prophesy presets (such as needing less bass or more highs).
- Page 34 The Pre Effect page allows you to assign any effect that is not already assigned to the current preset to a location in the signal chain that is before the preamp stage. This page displays the effect currently assigned to the Pre Effect location, or " EMPTY " if no effect has been assigned.
- Page 35 The Post Effect pages comprise three pages which each allow you to assign any effect that is not already assigned to the current preset to a location in the signal chain that is after the preamp stage. These pages each display the effect currently assigned to the respective Post Effect location, or "...
- Page 36 Flanging involves splitting the input signal into at least two individual delayed signals (here referred to as Voice 1 and Voice 2), then modulating these delayed signals so that, when summed back together with the direct signal, phase cancellations will occur at some frequencies while peaks in the response will occur at others.
- Page 37 Flanger Page 2: Voice 2 LVL2 The LEVEL2 parameter determines the volume of Voice 1 relative to Voice 2. (Off to +6.0) PAN2 The PAN2 parameter allows you to pan Voice 1 to the left or right channel. (Left to Right) DPTH2 The DEPTH2 parameter adjusts the amount of modulation of Voice 1 .
- Page 38 The Chorus effect in the Prophesy is produced by using up to four delayed signals (referred to here as Voices 1-4), detuning these delayed signals (slightly changing their pitch), then modulating the detune effect so that the amount of pitch detune is constantly varying.
- Page 39 Chorus Pages 3 and 4: Voices 3 and 4 REGEN L REGEN L (page 3) The REGENERATION LEFT parameter determines how much of the delayed REGEN R (page 4) output signal is fed back into the left input. Note that voice 3 has a REGEN L parameter, while voice 4 has a REGEN R for providing regeneration through the right input.
- Page 40 The Rotary effect simulates the classic rotating speaker popular with guitarists and keyboard players. It is designed to mimic the characteristics of the mechanical rotating speaker with added versatility afforded by DSP. Rotary Page ROTSPK RSPEED SLOWSP FASTSP ACCEL ROTBAL ROTSPK RSPEED S L O W S P...
- Page 41 The Rotary effect included in the Prophesy has been designed to provide the most realistic simulation of an actual rotary speaker as possible. However, the nature of the rotary effect requires a significantly higher amount of processor power than any of the other effects included in the Prophesy in order to implement it without sacrificing the quality of the effect.
- Page 42 Phase shifting involves splitting the input signal into two signals, then shifting the phase of different frequencies of one signal and mixing it back with the original signal. Phaser Page PHASER> DEPTH RATE R E S O N STAGES DEPTH The DEPTH parameter determines the modulation depth of the phase shift effect.
- Page 43 Pitch Shifting is used to change the pitch of the input signal to produce a harmony note based on the input signal. The Prophesy allows for 2 harmony voices to be defined for each preset. Each harmony voice can be of any fixed interval—up to one octave above the input signal to two octaves below—and is selected in 20-cent increments.

- Page 45 Delay is a repeat of the guitar signal, which will repeat at the time the user sets (typically expressed in milliseconds) after the original guitar signal. The Prophesy provides several parameters to adjust the characteristics of the delay effect. The Delay effect also has a built-in Ducker function. The word "ducking" is another way to say that you're turning down the volume level of the delay (or "attenuat- ing"...
- Page 46 When using the MUTE "POST" setting, the Delay IN/OUT function will start and stop the guitar signal at the delay effect's output. This will produce the following results: When you switch the delay "OUT" while you're playing, the delayed signal will suddenly be chopped off and will no longer be heard. The delay effect's input, however, is still receiving signal.
- Page 47 Delay Page 2: Damping/Ducker HF DAMP D U C K SENS ATTN P R E -36.0 -23.0 HF DAMP The Delay HIGH FREQUENCY DAMPING parameter controls the amount of high frequency content in the delayed and regenerated signals. Higher amounts of damping will result in less high frequency information in the delayed signal.
- Page 48 The Tremolo effect continuously varies the volume of the signal at a rate and depth defined by the user. Tremolo Page {TREMOLO} TREM> T-DPTH T-RATE T-SHAPE TRIANGLE PST-REV T-DPTH The TREMOLO DEPTH parameter determines the amount of modulation for the Tremolo signal. Lower depth settings produce more subtle tremolo effects, while higher settings will result in a more extreme tremolo effect.

Page 49: Reverb Types
Reverb is a multitude of echoes that are spaced so close together that, to human ears, seem as a single continuous sound. These echoes gradually decrease in intensity until they are ultimately absorbed by the boundaries and obstacles within a room. As the sound waves from the sound source strike the boundaries of a room, a portion of the energy is reflected away from the obstacle while another portion is absorbed into it —... - Page 50 Reverb Page 1: R-PAN R-DEC HFDMP L-FRQ REV TYPE R-PAN R-DEC H F D M P L-FRQ L<29 The REVERB PAN parameter allows you to pan the direct input signal to the reverb section to the left or right—thus allowing for only the left or right channel to be reverberated when used with the Dual reverb type, or, for one channel to be reverberated to a greater degree than the other.
- Page 51 Reverb Page 2: PREDLYL PREDLY L The PREDELAY LEFT parameter determines the length of time after a signal is input to the Prophesy that the left channel signal will be input to the reverb section. Delaying the reverb signal provides greater separation of the input and reverb signals, and helps to increase the perceived size of the Room, Hall or Stadium.
- Page 52 The SPEAKER SIMULATOR function is available in all presets, and provides a realistic approximation of a miked speaker cabinet when connecting the Prophesy directly to a mixing board, recording system or other full range system using the rear panel RECORDING OUT jacks.

- Page 57 Main outputs. The "STEREO" setting should be used when connecting the left and right outputs to individual channels of a stereo power amp and then to a stereo speaker cabinet. When set to "MONO", all effect and direct panning is ignored and all signals are directed to the Left and Right outputs evenly.
- Page 58 Controller assignments allow for specified Prophesy parameters to be mapped (or assigned) to a MIDI controller for real-time control by an expression pedal or by the controller on/off buttons of a MIDI foot controller. In addition to 120 MIDI control numbers, you may assign the Prophesy's ADSR (Attack/Sustain/Decay/Release) control effect to any parameters with these controller assignments (ADSR is discussed further in Section 7, Using the ADSR).
- Page 59 Controller Pages ( 1 ) ( 1 ) This number indicates the controller that is currently being edited. CNTNUM The CONTROLLER NUMBER parameter is used to select a controller number for the current controller to respond to. (0 to 120, ADSR) PARM The PARAMETER parameter determines the Prophesy parameter that is to be controlled by the current controller.
- Page 60 TAP button, by a momentary footswitch connected to the rear panel, or by a control button on a MIDI foot controller like the Rocktron All Access. Obviously, this is very handy for quickly getting the proper Delay times and/or Tremolo rates for different song tempos.
- Page 61 Tap Button Page TAPBTN Q U A N T T-CTRNUM T-LED B O T H 1/4 NOTE TAPBTN The TAPBTN parameter allows you to select whether the front panel Tap button, momentary footswitch, or MIDI controller affects the Delay time, the Tremolo rate or both simultaneously.

Note that this parameter only needs to be set when using the Prophesy with an All Access, as the Prophesy does not transmit MIDI program changes to other devices.
- Page 63 MIDI Page 2: MIDI Program Mapping PRG CHG R E C V RECALL M A P PRG CHG The PRG CHG parameter determines how the Prophesy will react to incoming MIDI program change commands. When set to "OFF", the Prophesy ignores all incoming MIDI commands. When set to "ON", program changes are executed exactly as they are received.
- Page 64 The Title Edit page looks just like the preset title page, however it does not display the assigned effects for the preset on the second line. In addition, a flashing cursor indicates the current character position of the title to be edited. For more information on editing a preset title, refer to "Naming Presets"...
