Amp Simulator
And here comes the boutique amp collection. This processor simulates five among
the most used guitar and bass amps of all times: the Fender Twin, the Marshall JCM-
800, the Vox AC30, the Roland Jazz Chorus and the Fender BassMan. Each amp
features a 3-way equalizer and an adjustable overdrive.
Rotary Effect Simulator
There's no VB3-II without a great rotary effect. This is the exact same rotary effect
featured in the Crumar Mojo, offering the same control set and the same sound. Now
imagine this: combined with the other 10 effects, that can be turned on all at the
same time, the Gemini goes way beyond what a dedicated clonewheel organ can do.
Stereo Delay / Echo
After all these effects a bit of ambience is a necessity. This delay generator can work
as a digital delay or as an analog echo machine, it offers a resonant low-pass filter
and an overdrive in the feedback chain, can self-oscillate and can repeat infinitely;
the "spread" parameter adjusts the distance between the left and the right channel,
making it possible to simulate a stereo 2-tap echo as well as a ping-pong delay.
Stereo Limiter
And if the signal level goes crazy, a stereo limiter at this point of the chain comes in
handy. This is nothing more and nothing less than... a stereo limiter! There's the
threshold, the attack and release times, just like in any other limiter. And it really
works.
Digital Reverb
We should call it "the supah dupah holy grail digital reverberator of all times" and
charge a huge amount if we were selling this effect alone. But we call it simply
"digital reverb" because we want you to use it for bringing light and air to your
sound, but it's actually a great reverb effect. It sounds soft, smooth and deep, precise
and alive, airy and so much realistic that when you hear it you won't even notice it is
there! The best job a reverberator can do is to stay transparent and let the listener
not notice that an artificial reverberation has been added to the sound. Well, unless it
is used creatively.
Equalizer
This section contains a very simple equalizer that splits the frequency spectrum in
two parts: the "mid. Freq" parameter adjusts the crossover point, and with the three
levels you can adjust the response curve. It is easy and efficient, can be totally
bypassed if necessary, and the last parameter (even though shown first in the list) is
the overall output level.
