Whammy; Delay; Reverb - DigiTech VX400 User Manual

Whammy

™
Whammy™ is an effect that uses the Expression Pedal to bend the pitch of the incoming signal, or add a
bendable harmony with the original signal. As the Pedal is moved, the note will bend either up or down.
The Whammy™ effect must be linked to the Expression Pedal in order to function. See page 16 for
more information on linking the Expression Pedal.
Parameter 1 - The Number 2 Knob selects the interval and direction of the pitch bend. Choices are as
follows:
Whammy (no Dry Signal)
1OCTUP (1 octave above)
2OCTUP (2 octaves above)
2NDDWN (a second below)
REV2ND (a second below reversed pedal
action)
4THDWN (a fourth below)
1OCTDN (an octave below)
2OCTDN (2 octaves below)
DIVBOM (Dive Bomb)
FX Level - The Number 4 Knob adjusts the volume of the Whammy™. Ranges from 0 to 99.
The Number 3 Knob has no function when the Whammy™ is selected.
Master Level - The Number 5 Knob controls the Vx400's Master Level.
Note: Only one of the effects in the Effects row can be used at a time.

Delay

Delay is an effect that will record a portion of the incoming signal, and then play it back a short time later.
The recording can repeat just once, several times, or infinitely (which turns off the input to the Delay and
allows you to play over the top of a passage in the Delay loop).
Delay Type/Off - The Number 1 Knob turns the Delay on (
different types of Delay. Values include:
P PONG
Delay Time - The Number 2 Knob adjusts the amount of Delay time. Ranges from
Sec
(10 ms through 1 sec in 10 ms increments and 1 sec through 2 sec in 100 ms incre-
ments).
Feedback - The Number 3 Knob adjusts the number of times the delayed signal will repeat. Ranges from
1 to 99 and repeat hold (infinite repeat).
Delay Level - The Number 4 Knob adjusts the volume of the delayed signal. Ranges from 0 to 99.
Master Level - The Number 5 Knob controls the Vx400's Master Level.

Reverb

Reverb can give the listener a sense that the material is being performed in various acoustical
environments. It can provide the tight acoustics of a small room, or the ambience of huge arena.
Reverb Type/Off - The Number 1 Knob selects the Type of Reverb or acoustic environment and turns the
Reverb off (
