The Effects & Parameters; Gold Channel - DigiTech Vocalist Live FX Owner's Manual

The Effects & Parameters
The Live FX signal path is a serial chain of 8 effect modules, which correspond to
the 8 buttons along the top of the Live FX's user interface.
The "Gold Channel" effect module is the first module in the signal chain and
comprises a grouping of 8 channel strip style effects (Warmth, Compressor, Noise
Gate, Low Cut, EQ, De-Esser, Ambience, and Pitch Correction). These Gold Channel
effects provide the sonic foundation for your vocal sound and are used globally for
all presets.
The remaining 7 effect modules (Pitch FX, Distortion/Filter, Harmony, Doubler,
Modulation, Delay, and Reverb) are all programmable within each preset and are
referred to as the "Vocal" effects. This section of the manual describes each of these
effects, their associated parameters, and tips for dialing in these parameters. If you
are unsure how to navigate menus and edit the effect parameters, see "Operating
The Live FX" on page 11.
