s5000 / s6000 FX
You can see the block diagrams for the two multi effects channels, MULTIFX 1 and MULTIFX 2 .
Underneath those are the two reverb-only channels, RV 3 and RV 4. F4 and F5 allow you to set
the input source for RV3 and 4 and you may select the following:
RV3 SEND This feeds RV3 with any signals sent on the RV3 effects send buss. This
is the default setting and allows four totally separate reverb channels.
FX1 This feeds RV3 with any signals sent on the FX1 effects send buss:
DIST/RMOD/EQ MODULATION FX DELAY REVERB (RV1)
FX 1
REVERB (RV3)
FX1 DIST/EQ The output of the DISTORTION/RING MOD/EQ section of FX1 will be
routed to RV3:
DIST/RMOD/EQ MODULATION FX DELAY REVERB (RV1)
FX 1
REVERB (RV3)
FX1 MOD/ECHO The output of the MOD/ECHO section in FX1 will be routed to RV3:
DIST/RMOD/EQ MODULATION FX DELAY REVERB (RV1)
FX 1
REVERB (RV3)
FX1 REVERB The output of FX1’s reverb will be routed to RV3:
DIST/RMOD/EQ MODULATION FX DELAY REVERB (RV1)
FX 1
REVERB (RV3)
Using this facility, it is possible for one sound to have two reverb effects applied to it.
TIP: This can also be used to create a smoother, denser reverb sound. By selecting one of the
gated reverbs in the multiFX chain and then selecting FX1 REVERB as the input for RV3 and
selecting a hall or room reverb, the initial attack of the overall reverb sound will be more
diffused resulting in a smoother decay.
RV4 is identical except that it is partnered with MULTIFX2.
