External Effects
We are convinced that the basic sound of the Fame T64RS
will suit the demands of most guitar players. Although, the
usage of external effects devices can provide a variety of
new and interesting sounds. These are divided into:
• Level-related effects are: Compressor, Limiter or
Noise Gate
• Time-based effects are: Delay/Echo, Chorus or
Flanger
• Volume-based effects are: Tremolo, Auto-Volume or
Pan
• Filtering-related effects are: Equalizer, Phaser,
Rotary or Vibe
While the last three effect groups can be inserted in the
fx loop of the T64RS, level-related units must always be
connected between instrument and amplifi er.
A lot of our customers gave us a positive feedback on
using a compressor in front of the T64RS.
How to choose the right device
High-quality effects like a vibrato or time-based units like
delays can round up the sound, when placed in the fx
loop of the amplifi er. But the fi nal sound is depending on
the choice of the specifi c unit.
A multieffects processor i.e. digitalizes the incoming
signal by using an AD-converter and inverts it after
adding several effects. Depending on the used model, the
sound can be infl uenced in a negative way.
Expensive units contain very capable converters, which
keep the signal in it’s original value and even improve the
sound quality.
Analogue units will not harm the signal’s quality, but they
are also limited and normally produce only one overall
sound.
