Selective: All effects that operate on certain selective scopes of the signal, e.g., on selec-

a compressor) or the effect itself sounds or acts fast.
• Slow: An effect that treats the incoming signal slowly, or the effect itself sounds or acts
slow (e.g., attack-delay effect).
•
Bright: A general, rather subjective interpretation of an effect. Can also be used to dif-

entiate similar effects.
