Time/Rate; Damping/Depth; Wide; Bypass - Mackie CFX MKII Owner's Manual

slowest repeats at 10. DAMPING/DEPTH
controls the damping, with the darkest tone at
0 and the brightest tone at 10. Since the delay
effect is not stereo, it is not affected by the

WIDE

switch.
DELAY 1: One repeat. Works best for slap-
back delay used in country and swing guitar,
and for rockabilly and some country vocals. De-
lay range is adjustable from 5 ms to 524 ms.
DELAY 2: Two repeats. Provides a fuller,
more dramatic effect for rock and gospel vocals,
acoustic guitar, and wind instruments such as
fl ute. Especially effective for some fi nger-picking
styles. Delay range is adjustable from 5 ms to
524 ms.
DELAY 3: Three repeats. An excellent delay
for slow, bluesy vocals and melodic fl ute music.
This delay usually works best when the chan-
nel EFX send is set at less than halfway. Delay
range is adjustable from 5 ms to 524 ms.
DELAY 4: Four repeats. This is for very dra-
matic delay effects, particularly for enhancing
long vocal notes and dramatic instrumental
note-chopping effects. Be sure to set the chan-
nel EFX send at about halfway. Delay range is
adjustable from 5 ms to 524 ms.
Modulation Effects
These include Chorus, Flange, and Phaser,
and are generally used for enhancement of
instrumental music. However, Chorus adds
a dramatic effect to vocals as well. The WIDE
switch is very effective at dramatically
increasing the strength and thickness of a
modulation effect. For example, using WIDE on
Chorus mimics a multi-voiced chorus effect.

TIME/RATE

controls the effect Rate,
which is the speed of the sweeping effect.
Fully counter-clockwise produces the slowest
sweeps and fully clockwise produces the fast-
est. DAMPING/DEPTH
depth, which is the strength of the sweeping
effect. Fully counter-clockwise produces the
lightest sweeping effect and fully clockwise
produces the thickest.
CHORUS: Provides a soft, ethereal sweeping
effect. Perfect for enhancement of electric and
acoustic guitar and bass. Also adds a dramatic
effect to vocals, particularly group harmonies
and choirs. The channel's EFX 2 (INT)
should be set halfway or higher. Rate is adjust-
able from 0.5 Hz to 30 Hz. Depth is adjustable
from 0% to 100%.
FLANGE: Creates a strong sweeping effect,
particularly effective on rock electric guitar,
lead and rhythm. The channel's EFX 2 (INT)
should be set halfway or higher. Rate is adjust-
able from 0.5 Hz to 20 Hz. Depth is adjustable
from 0% to 100%.
