Common Delay and Reverb Parameters
As you’ll see in the above tables, many delays and reverbs include several common
parameters via the TWEAK and TWEEZ knobs. To follow are descriptions for these. See
the "Model Gallery" on page 29 for more about specific delay and reverb models’
options.
NOTE: The parameters controlled via the TWEAK and TWEEZ knobs typically affect only
the sound of the delay’s repeats or reverb’s decay, and do not affect your dry input
signal.
Parameter Description
Time
For delays that offer a secondary channel echo (such as Dual and
Stereo types), the TIME/SUBDIV knob adjusts the delay time for the
left channel’s delay repeats. You can use the TWEAK and TWEEZ
knob to configure the right channel’s delay repeats. Also see "About
Tap Tempo" on page 12 for info on Note Subdivisions for your
delay repeats.
Bass
Adjusts the amount of low frequency content. Reducing the bass
can remove some boom or mud.
Treble
Adjusts the amount of high frequency content. Reducing the treble
can make your repeats blend in and become more of a wash behind
your dry signal.
Mod Rate
Adjusts the speed of the pitch modulation, with higher settings pro-
viding faster rates, applied to the delay or reverb trails.
Mod Depth
Adjusts the intensity of the pitch modulation. Higher settings result
in more extreme pitch bending, wobble, or throb, depending on the
model.
Wow & Flutter
Adjusts the amount of the pleasantly lo-fi warble, such as typically
inherent with the old tape-based echo units.
Decay Sets the length of time the reverb effect sustains.
Predelay
Determines the time before the reverb effect is heard. Higher set-
tings emulate a larger space and usually provide a more evident
“slap-back” reflection.
NOTE: Be sure to Save your preset after adjusting you delay and reverb models and
parameters to your liking—all settings will otherwise be lost once you load a different
preset.
