Tapco Blend 16 - Manual (Page 14)

INTERNAL EFFECTS
The internal effects circuit receives mono signals
from the AUX 2 FX bus, and it outputs stereo signals
onto the main mix buses. It also adds a summed
mono signal to the stage monitor mix (AUX 1 bus).
The outputs are controlled by two FX RETURN (45, 46)
knobs described on the next page.
Inside the processor, the analog audio is
converted to digital, this is processed, and the result
converted into stereo analog signals.
Spicy curry can also result in some remarkable
internal effects, many in the audio frequency range.
. EFFECTS SELECTOR
The internal effects processor has 16 great preset
effects to enhance your sound, confuse cats, and
upset hamsters, if that is your idea of fun. Each has
been carefully modeled to represent standard
effects. Note that the output mutes momentarily
when changing effects.
5. EFFECTS VARIATIONS
As you rotate this control from position 1 through
to 16, the “strength” of the effect will increase.
For an example: for a reverb effect, a low number
will have a short reverb time, and a larger number
will have a longer reverb time.
6. FX INPUT LEVEL and OL LED
This knob allows you to adjust the signal level
going into the internal effects processor. This is
useful if the signal is too strong, and the processor
becomes overloaded.
If you see the FX OL overload light come on, turn
down the knob until it just turns off during the louder
passages, riffs, chords, yells, etc.
7. FX BYPASS and LED
Press this switch in to bypass the internal effects
processor, and so prevent its output from appearing
on the main mix or stage monitors. The LED reminds
you whenever the processor is bypassed.
Use BYPASS if you are not using the internal
effects, as it will reduce any extraneous interstellar
noise, or use it to quickly compare between the
effective effect of effects and the effect of no
effects.
