THE STEREO MASTER EFFECT SYSTEM

THE GATE BOX REVERB
The GATE BOX reverb brings HiQ reverb tailored for percussion, with gating possibilities
for extra effects.
DVOL is the delay to reverb level parameter. This parameter allows the output of the
RHYTHM ECHO to be routed into the GATE BOX reverb.
PRED is the pre-delay parameter. The direct and delay signal mix is delayed by an amount
of time to give the impression of the reverbation arriving after the sound.
DEC is the decay time parameter. Decay time is the time it takes for the reverbation to die
out after a sound has ended. The decay parameter has a span of 0.5 to 3 seconds.
DAMP is the damping control parameter. Damping decreases the high frequencies to give
the impression of soft walls.
HP is a high-pass filter, filtering the output from the reverb.
LP is a low-pass filter, filtering the output from the reverb.
GATE sets the gate time. The reverbated signal is gated after this time, if the signal level is
low. The maximal value for this parameter gives infinite time - in other words, the gate is off.
LEV is the output level parameter of the GATE BOX reberb.
• Sometimes a small amount of gated reverb can be used on snare drums to make
them more distinct. If you are looking for the sound popular in the 1980’s, apply a
fairly large amount of gated reverb to the drum sounds.
MASTER EQ
The MASTER EQ equalizer is the final frequency shaping tool. It supplies one low shelf
and one high shelf filter that allow you to boost or reduce the high and low frequencies. It
also brings one parametric equalizer with frequency and Q-control.
LF is the cut/boost frequency parameter of the low shelf filter.
LG is the low shelf gain parameter that controls how much the low frequencies should be
boosted / reduced between -15dB and +15dB.
