Advanced Flanger setting

Describes a variation of the flanger setting with tuned parameters.

Vibrato setting

Explains the vibrato effect which modulates the pitch of the incoming signal.

TriChorus setting

TriChorus Alternative setting

Describes a variation of TriChorus for a wilder, less controlled effect.

TZFlanger ("Through zero") setting

Explains the TZF Mode Flanger emulating original tape deck flanging.

Modulation Active parameter

How to switch the modulation effect on or off for various pedals.

Through-Zero-Flanger parameter

Sets the level ratio between delay line 1 and delay line 2 for TZFlanger.

Speed parameter

Sets the speed of the chosen modulation effect (e.g., chorus, flanger).

Depth 1 parameter

Specifies the intensity of the modulation effect's waveform.

Depth 2 parameter

Specifies the intensity of the second waveform for TriChorus/TZFlanger.

Depth 3 parameter

Specifies the intensity of the third waveform for TriChorus.

HiCut parameter

Reduces high-end frequencies in the modulation effect.

Mix parameter

Delay Time 1 parameter

Changes the delay length for chorus/flanger effects.

Delay Time 2 parameter

Specifies delay length for the second module in TriChorus/TZFlanger.

Delay Time 3 parameter

Specifies delay length for the third module in TriChorus.

Modulation Feedback parameter

Defines the amount of signal fed back from the modulation output to input.

Vib. Ramp Time parameter (Shaker Vibrato only)

Sets the time for the vibrato effect to build up when latched.

Delay parameters

Delay Time parameter

Sets the time between delay repetitions (delay length).

Delay Feedback parameter

Defines the amount of signal fed back from the delay output to input.

Saturation parameter

FB HiCut (Feedback High-Cut) parameter

Attenuates frequencies over a set point in delayed signal for analog sound.

FB LoCut (Feedback Low-Cut) parameter

Attenuates frequencies below a set point in delayed signal.

Output Level parameter

Sets the overall output level for the delay effect.

Dynamic Delay Sensitivity parameter

Sets a level limit for input to alter delay output level dynamically.

Damping parameter
