EFFECTS PAGE
If the CONTROL PANEL is the meat and potatoes for the Vox Conti, the
EFFECTS page is the dessert trolley!
The effects page adds amp and cabinet simulation, a rotary speaker effect plus
chorus and reverb. The controls are as follows:
AMPLIFIER
DRIVE
OUTPUT
CABINET
Drop down menu
ROTARY SPEAKER
DEPTH
SPEED
30/7/10
Sets the amount of distortion. It is fully variable and
gradually introduces more distortion as the control is
turned clockwise. Fully counter-clockwise, the distortion
is switched off completely.
Sets the overall output level. Because the DRIVE control
adds gain and hence increases level, use this control to
back the output level off a little to avoid digital distortion
(which isn't nice!).
Select a cabinet type here. Eleven types are available
that emulate several classic cabinets, many pertinent to
the time. The Vox Continental can really come to life with
these as it doesn't sound so 'clean' and more like some
of the classic Conti tones we hear on records of old.
Sets the depth (and stereo width) of the rotary speaker
effect. Although rotary speaker cabs are usually
associated with Hammond tonewheel organs, people put
their Continentals through them and it does add a lot to
the sound.
Sets the speed, fast or slow. The rotary effect speeds up
and slows down as on the real thing.
