Acoustic Master Studio 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.
