Chorus/FX
The Chorus/FX row in the RP500 is a multi-function module, allowing you to select Effect types
such as Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Vibrato, Rotary Speaker, Tremolo, Panner, Envelope Filter, De-
tune, Whammy™, Pitch Shift, Detune, IPS, OC Octaver and more. When the Chorus/FX row is
selected, Knob 1 is used to choose the Effect type. Press this knob to turn these Effects on and
off. Only one of the effects in this row can be used at a time. After selecting the type of effect
in this module, Knobs 2-6 can then be used to adjust the individual parameters associated with
the selected effect. The following list describes each Effect and its parameters in more detail:
Chorus
A Chorus adds a short delay to your signal. The delayed signal is modulated in and out of tune
and then mixed back with the original signal to create a thicker sound. The RP500 includes the
following Chorus Effects: (based on the classic Boss
®
CE-2 Chorus),
(based on the TC Electronic Chorus), (DigiTech
®
’s Dual Chorus), (Digi-
Tech’s Glistening Chorus) and (DigiTech’s famous Multi Chorus
®
).

Flanger
A Flanger uses the same principle as a Chorus but uses a shorter delay time and adds regenera-
tion (or repeats) to the modulating delay. This results in an exaggerated up and down sweeping
motion to the effect. The RP500 includes the following Flanger Effects: (the Digi-
Tech
®
Flanger), (the DigiTech Triggered Flanger), (based on an MXR
®
Flanger), (based on an Electro-Harmonix
®
Electric Mistress), and
(based on an A/DA Flanger).
