DISTORTION
This is a monaural distortion effect that distorts the input signal. An EQ for shaping the
tone is connected in series.
ENHANCER
This is a monaural effect that adds new overtones to the signal, making the sound more
crisp.
EXPANDER
This is a monaural effect that expands the dynamic range by compressing the signal when
it falls below a specified level (threshold). This is the opposite effect from a compressor.
FLANGER>MONO
This is a conventional flanger effect. The effect itself is mono-in/mono-out, but you can
adjust the panning of the effect sound if you are playing back in stereo.
