The Edit Button

f DEPTH-L / DEPTH-R

These set the amount of modulation of the delay
time for the left and right delays. If one delay is
set to 10mS, for example, a setting of 50% will
vary the delay time between 15mS and 5mS at
the rate set by the SPEED parameter.

f OUT PHASE

The OUT PHASE setting puts the output of the
left and right sides of the µMod effect out of
phase to create more 3D sound space around
the effect. Note that this may potentially limit
the effect’s ability to collapse to mono. LEFT puts
the left side out of phase with the right which is
normal phase and vice versa for the RIGHT value.
BOTH puts both sides out of phase with their
respective sides’ correct phase while remaining in
phase with each other.

f DLY L / DLY R

Sets the left and right delay times. Up to 50 ms of
delay is available on the left and right delay lines
to create effects from flange to slapback.

f FEEDBACK L / FEEDBACK R

Re-introduces a portion of the audio output sig-
nal of the µMod block back to the input to create
flanges, tube and chorus effects. Values above 90
add a high amount of gain and cause distortion
and higher audio levels.

f PHASE

This defines the modulation phase which is the
phase relationship between the left and right
modulation LFOs (oscillators). In a flange style, for
example, setting this to 0 degrees puts all of the
effect in the center while setting it to 180 degrees
pulls the effect far into the stereo field.

µMOD Tab Overview

µMod is short for micro-modulation (“µ” is the
scientific symbol for micro). The µMod effect is
capable of creating many different sounds that
range from subtle but lush thickening to creatively
destructive. It uses a combination of stereo pitch
shifting (Detune), small amounts of stereo delay
(Delay), and then a complex path of filtering,
feedback, and modulation. µMod does a faithful
job of emulating classic detune, chorus, flange and
thickening sounds.

f STYLE

Use the soft knob assigned to this parameter to
choose a pre-programmed µMod style you like.

f LEVEL

Sets the mix level for the µMod effect.

f WIDTH

Normally, the output of the µMod effect is
panned hard left and right. This parameter sets
the stereo imaging of the µMod effect to mono
(0%) and stereo (100%).

f DETUNE LEFT / DETUNE RIGHT

Applies a small amount of pitch shift to the left or
right sides independently. This setting is shown in
cents and the maximum is +/- 25 cents.

f SPEED

This setting sets how fast the delay time modula-
tion occurs. In order for this to be audible, the
depth amount parameter has to be nonzero. The
setting range is 10.00 Hz (very fast) to .05 Hz
(very slow).
