effect types. The programs within each preset group are sorted in ascending order where higher numbers
provide the same FX type with increased intensity. The presets 1 - 20 offer high quality reverberation effects
that are equally suited for the use during a live performance, in the recording studio or your home recording
environment. The program numbers 21-40 provide mixed effect types of echo/reverb and chorus/reverb
while the numbers 41-60 offer different delay effects. The last group from 61-99 provides different flanger,
chorus, and doubling presets as well as special delay and reverb programs. During the initialization of the
FX units, when turning the PSX’s power on, the preset 05 (Large Hall 3 Bright) is selected for the FX1 while
the FX2 unit is set to preset 55 (Delay Mono 250ms). These two effects are equally suitable for live
performances and recording applications. They can be used separately or together. Please, also refer to the
supplementary information form “EFFECT PRESETS” for a more detailed description of all effect presets.
This listing contains all preset names together with the corresponding program profiles, their individual
characteristics, and a description of how and in what combination to use them. Take your time to test all
presets and select the ones that are best suited for your specific application. The program number “0" lets
you select a Slap Back Echo effect that is mainly meant for service and testing purposes. That is the reason
why it is not included in the effects listing.
Additionally, we would like to pay some attention to the FOOT SWITCH connector. It is provided to allow
the connection of a foot switch pedal to remote control the FX units’ EFFECT ON/OFF function. If your
foot switch features a LED - like the Electro-Voice FS 11 does - this indicator will light when the effect is
activated.

18. DISPLAY
The display shows always the actual preset number selected for the corresponding effect unit.
19. UP/DOWN buttons
The UP/DOWN buttons are used to select the effect presets. Keeping a button pressed constantly lets you
step quickly through the program numbers in either direction.
20. FX ON
These switches are used to activate the internal FX units - the green LED is lit. Please keep in mind that you
also can use an external foot switch to turn the FX units on. Also when using a foot switch, the LED shows
the actual state of operation. If you want to use a foot switch, the FX ON switch has to be engaged first. The
corresponding FX unit is activated and you can use the foot switch to turn the selected effect program on or
off.
21. PEAK LED
These indicators signal if the input stages of the internal FX units are driven into clipping. To achieve an
adequate S/N ratio, please adjust the FX units’ input level as follows:
Note on how to adjust the FX input signal:
1. Establish a “dry” mix - without effect settings - according to the previous descriptions.
2. Set the FX-retum fader of the corresponding effect channels to its -5dB position.
3. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to select the desired FX program preset.
4. Press the FX ON switch.
5. Play the sound source of the desired input channel and adjust the desired amount of the FX signal,
using the FX controls of the input channel until the resulting effect mix meets your requirements.
Repeat this step for all input channels that you want to include in the effect mix.
6. Please make sure that the PEAK LED only lights frequently at highly dynamic signal peaks.
7. Use the FX to AUX controls to add the effect mix to the monitor mix. Use the FX return faders to
change the desired amount of the FX signal in the main mix.
It is good advice to pay some attention to the peak indicators when operating your PSX to be able to
quickly interact when the signal levels exceed the normal range and enter clipping.
22. EFFECT RETURN FX1 / FX2
These stereo faders are used to determine the effect amount of the main mix.
In case you have to set these faders at a position above the +5dB mark, please check if the FX units input
signals are adjusted properly. Otherwise use the FX SEND controls to increase the input levels.
