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. However, here you dont have the typical shatter sound when you knock over your amp.
03-04 Studio: This effect simulates the characteristics of middle-sized rooms. With its natural sound it can
be used for a great variety of applications.
05-06 Chamber: You can clearly hear the sound as it bounces back from the walls of this room. The
program is particularly suited for diffuse types of reverb or to make a dry guitar sound more natural.
07-08 Stage: A fine reverb e.g. to liven up and widen a clean guitar.
09-10 Concert: Here, you can choose from a small theater (preset 9, short pre-delay) or a large concert hall
(preset 10, long pre-delay). Compared to the STUDIO reverb program, these algorithms sound more
lively and have more treble frequencies.
11-12 Plate: The sound of an ancient plate reverb. A classic algorithm that makes your guitar sound wonderful
and enchanting.

Tab. 3.1: Parameters of effects 01 through 12
Reverb algorithms 01 through 12 provide two variations each. Basically, the first variation uses a short pre-
delay (delay until the actual reverb can be heard), while the second variation works with long pre-delays. In
general, you can adjust the reverb time with the PARAMETER control, while the two EFFECT controls adjust
the mix between original and effect signals of the left or right channel.
13-14 Gated Reverb: This reverb is cut off abruptly and became famous through Phil Collins In the air
tonight. Use the EFFECT A control to adjust the threshold above which the reverb is triggered (Sensitivity).
The higher this value, the less reverb you will hear. EFFECT B governs the mix between original and
reverb signals. Again, the PARAMETER control adjusts the reverb and gate time.
