For instance, a Ratio of 4 to 1 means that a signal exceeding the Threshold by 4 dB will only be
allowed 1 dB of increased output.Higher settings yield a tighter, sound and increase sustain.
Lower settings allow better dynamics.Ranges include: ¡2-1 (1.2:1),¡5-1 (1.5:1), ¡8-1 (1.8:1),
™0-1 (2:1),™5-1 (2.5:1),£0-1 (3:1), ¢0-1 (4:1),∞0-1 (5:1), •0-1 (8:1),10-1 (10:1),20-1 (20:1),
and
INF-1 (infinity:1).
Threshold -The Number 3 knob selects the Threshold (
threshld). The Threshold is the level a signal
is allowed to reach before the compressor begins to work. Low Threshold settings activate
the compressor with weaker signals. Higher settings require a stronger signal to activate
compression. Ranges from
0 to 99.
Gain -The Number 4 knob adjusts the Output Gain (
Gain) from the Compressor. This parameter is
used to balance the level of the Compressor to reach unity gain. Other effects can clip if the
Compressor Gain too high. Ranges from
0 to 20 (dB).
The Number 5 knob doesn’t function when the Compressor is selected.
Whammy/IPS
This module includes 4 types of pitch altering effects:Whammy™,IPS, Detune, and Pitch Shift. The Status
button turns the Whammy/IPS (
Wham/IPS) module on and off. The Number 1 knob (Type) selects
whether the module is a Whammy™(
WHAMMY),Intelligent Pitch Shifter (IPS), Detuner (DETUNE),or
Pitch Shifter (
PITCH). Parameters 1, 2,and 3 in the Matrix have different functions depending upon which
effect is selected in this module.
Whammy™ is an effect that uses an Expression Pedal to bend the pitch of the incoming signal,or add a
bendable harmony with the original signal. As the Pedal is moved,the note bends either up or down.
When Whammy™ is selected, it is automatically placed before the Amp Modeling as shown in the block
diagram (see page 49).The Whammy™ effect must be linked to the Expression Pedal in order to function.
See page 37 for more information on linking the Expression Pedal.
Parameter 1 (Whammy™) -The Number 2 knob selects the interval and direction of the pitch bend.
Choices are as follows:
Parameter 2 (Whammy™) -The Number 3 knob provides a manual control of the Whammy™ pedal
position.Ranges from
0 to 99.
The Number 4 knob has no function when the Whammy™ is selected.
Intelligent Pitch Shifting (IPS)
Intelligent Pitch Shifting makes a copy of the incoming signal,and then changes the pitch of the copied
note to a diatonically correct interval specified by the Amount parameter. An Intelligent Pitch Shifter
sharpens or flattens the shifted pitch in order to keep the specified interval within the selected key and
scale creating a true harmony.
Parameter 1 (IPS) -The Number 2 knob selects the Amount or harmony interval for the Intelligent
