Adjusting the effects

The C-520 is equipped with three types of effects:
Effect Meaning
IFX (Insert Effect) The sound pass entirely through this effect.
This is used for effects being part of the
sound itself, like the phaser of the rotary
speaker. There is a separate IFX for each of
the sounds.
Rev (Reverb) This effect adds ambience to the sounds. In
Layer or Split mode, there is a single reverb
for all selected sounds.
Ch (Chorus) This effect adds modulation to the sounds.
In Layer or Split mode, there is a single cho-
rus for all selected sounds.

Setting the reverb effect

Reverb adds ambience to the sound. Either you are in Single,
Layer or Split mode, a single reverb effect is available for both
sounds (see diagram). A different amount of reverb can be ap-
plied to each sound, thanks to the Reverb Send parameter (see
below).
