    1.3 Control elements Fig. 1.1: The front panel of the BLUE DEVIL The BEHRINGER BLUE DEVIL GX112 features eleven controls, five push-buttons and one 2-digit, 7-segment LED display on its front panel. Additionally, there are two 1/4" jacks for input and headphones.
  • Page 9 BLUE DEVIL GX112 When the MIDI functions are inactive, one effect can be stored for each of the two channels on your BLUE DEVIL, which allows you, for instance, to select a DELAY effect for the HELL channel and assign a REVERB/CHORUS effect to the HEAVEN channel. The corresponding program numbers will be stored with the channels and can be recalled using the footswitch or the front panel buttons.

You can change parameters using controller information, switch over effect programs, change channels and bypass the effects module by means of program change instructions.

    BLUE DEVIL GX112 Please note that when using the serial effects path, the external effect should not be set to 100% wet (100% effect signal); otherwise, there will be no direct signal portion fed back to the BLUE DEVIL. Connect the enclosed footswitch FS112 via the stereo plug to the FOOTSWITCH jack. The footswitch allows you to change channels or disable the effects module.

  • Page 13: Description Of Effects

    BLUE DEVIL GX112 3.1 Description of effects 01-02 Spring Reverb: Even a guitar amp with a digital multi-effects processor should allow you to use a spring reverb. This algorithm emulates the typical sound of a spring reverb, as it is known from numerous guitar amps.
  • Page 14 BLUE DEVIL GX112 15-16 Ambience: The reverb of any room consists of so-called “early reflections” and the reverb “tail”. This algorithm emulates the first 15 of these early reflections. Since our ears use these reflections to determine the room size, they can be employed to create subtle and impressive reverb densities, without clouding the overall signal with long reverb tails.

  • Page 18 BLUE DEVIL GX112 67-68 Rotary Speaker: This is the quintessential simulation of the classical organ effect normally produced by speakers that rotate at slow/fast speed in a bulky and extremely heavy speaker cabinet. This effect uses the physical principle known as Doppler effect. The PARAMETER control determines the speed of horn (treble) and rotor (bass), while EFFECT A allows you to modify the basic character of the sound.
  • Page 19 BLUE DEVIL GX112 75-81 Pitch Shifter: This effect shifts the pitch of the input signal and can be used to produce musical intervals and harmonies or simply to widen a single voice. Heavy detuning by several semi-tones up creates a mickey-mouse-type effect. The preset variations include various fixed intervals for the right channel, while the left channel can be shifted with the PARAMETER control.
  • Page 20 BLUE DEVIL GX112 90-91 Compressor: Often, the signal level exceeds the headroom of signal-processing devices and therefore needs to be limited in its dynamic range, so as to avoid distortion. This job is done by compressors and/or limiters. Limiters abruptly limit the signal above a specific threshold, while compressors provide for a “soft”...
