Acoustic Master Custom Digital Effects
1. Hall Reverb – A long, smooth reverb simulating the sound of a large concert hall. High
frequencies are progressively rolled off as the signal cycles through the reverberator.
The Modify control sets the decay time.
2. Room Reverb – This is a simulation of a short decay reverb, similar in sound to a small
room with hard surfaces. Use the MODIFY control to set the decay time.
3. Plate Reverb – Another long reverb, this one being a recreation of the reverb devices
found in classic recording studios. Longer decay time than the hall reverb and with
more emphasis on the top end. The Modify control sets the decay time.
4. Chorus – Chorus is an electronic effect that multiplies your signal and staggers each
copy in time and pitch, similar to what happens when a choir sings. The Modify knob is
used to increase the amount by which the individual signals vary from one another.
5. Chorus + Reverb – As above, followed by a hall reverb.
6. Chorus + Reverb + Delay – As above with a single repeat delay. From 0 – 5 the
Modify sets the delay time at 200 ms. Beyond that the delay is 130 ms.
7. Tremolo – This effect varies the volume of your signal at a rate controlled by the Modify
knob.
8. Tremolo + Reverb – As above, followed by a large hall reverb.
9. Delay – A standard, multiple repeat delay. Use the Modify control to set the delay from
100 – 980 ms.
10. Delay + Reverb – This is a delay that is followed by a smaller hall reverb. The
Modify knob sets the delay in the range of 200 – 600 ms.
11. Drive – Similar to the style of distortion you get as you overdrive a tube preamp. Turn
the Modify knob to get more clipping and rolloff the high frequencies.
12. Harmonizer – This effect transposes the pitch of your signal to one of four fixed
harmonies. Use the Modify control to choose from an octave down, a fifth down, a fifth
up and an octave up.
13. Flanger – Flanging is an effect created by comb filtering as a result of mixing a signal
with a delayed version of itself. By rhythmically changing the delay time, you get the
sound of a shifting comb filter. Use the Modify control to set this rate.
14. Flanger + Delay – As above with a single repeat delay. From 0 – 5 the MODIFY
sets the delay time at 200 ms. Beyond that, the delay is 130 ms.
15. Rotary Speaker – This is a recreation of an effect originally popular with organ players.
The sound of a spinning speaker is akin to a tremolo with Doppler pitch shifting. The
Modify control set the speed at which the speaker spins.
16. Compressor – Compressors are used to automatically control the volume of the
signal passing through them. When the signal goes beyond the compressor's
threshold, the volume will automatically be reduced. This allows the player to turn up
the input gain without fear of clipping the amplifier. The end result is a signal that is
on average louder. Use the Modify control to set this increase in level.
