  • Page 7: Section 1 - Startup

    Valve FX Owner’s Manual SECTION 1 - STARTUP SUPPLYING POWER Line Conditioning - The Valve FX, like any piece of computer hard- ware, is sensitive to voltage drops, spikes, and surges. Interference such as lightning or power “brownouts” can seriously, and in extreme cases, permanently damage the circuitry inside the unit.

  • Page 8: Display Window

    Valve FX Owner’s Manual 5) Display Window - The display window shows all current operating and programming information and is comprised of several parts: the LCD display, the input level meter, the Program number indica- tor, and the Bypass and DSP Clip indicator LEDs. The LCD display shows all Program names, Parameters and Parameter values, and is the communication interface between you and the Valve FX.

  • Page 9: Effects Access

    1) AC Line Input - This is the power cord receptacle. 2) Foot Controller - This 5-pin DIN plug is for connecting the optional DigiTech Control One foot controller. THIS IS NOT A MIDI PORT. CONNECTING A DEVICE OTHER THAN THE DIGITECH CONTROL ONE FOOT CONTROLLER TO THIS JACK MAY DAMAGE THE DEVICE.

  • Page 10: Outputs

    Valve FX Owner’s Manual 5) Outputs - These are the main left and right audio outputs of the Valve FX. Use both outputs when possible since Programs are set up to take advantage of stereo effects. When the Output mode is set to mono, either output can be used.

Let’s suppose that in order to work in your application, it needs to have a 425 millisecond delay. Using this Program as an example for Program modification, the procedure for changing the delay time is as follows: •...

  • Page 17: Basic Program Creation

    Valve FX Owner’s Manual • Press the <RIGHT> Cursor key once. The cursor moves to the milliseconds position. • Using the <UP> Cursor key, scroll until the last two digits of the delay time read 25. The delay time is now set at .425 seconds. If you change Programs at this point, either through MIDI or via the front panel, any modifications that you have made to the Program will be lost.

    Valve FX Owner’s Manual Reverbs Module Name Module Abbrv. Description BigVerb Studio-quality reverb. MFX Reverb MVerb Reverb used in multi-effects Algorithms. Gated Reverb GtRvb Professional gated reverb BIGVERB / MFX REVERB Bigverb is the flagship reverb Module of the Valve FX. It contains 14 Parameters, giving exceptional soundfield and tonal shaping control over reverberation.

  • Page 27 Valve FX Owner’s Manual Now that we better understand all the aspects and properties of Reverb, the Parameters of the Reverb modules are as follows: Reverb On / Off .....Turns the Module on or off. ER Predelay ....Controls the length of time before the early reflections are heard.
  • Page 28 Valve FX Owner’s Manual RV Predelay ....Controls the amount of time before the first room reverberations are heard. In an actual acoustic space, the amount of reverberation predelay depends largely on the shape and size of the room and the placement of both listener and sound source within the room.

  • Page 29: Gated Reverb

    Valve FX Owner’s Manual GATED REVERB Gated reverbs usually include adjustable thresholds to set the point at which the reverberations will be gated (cut off). The Valve FX’s RV DECAY TIME control behaves in somewhat the same way, except that instead of setting the length by level (threshold), the length is set by time (in milliseconds).
  • Page 30 Valve FX Owner’s Manual Gated reverbs can be found in the <REVERB> library, and their Parameters are as follows: Gated Reverb On / Off..Turns the Module on or off. Reverb Pre-Delay ..Sets the amount of time before the reverbera- tions are heard. Adjustable from 0 to 100 mil- liseconds.
