Detune
The detune effect is – to some extent – similar to a
chorus: The source signal is split and a specified amount
of the signal is detuned by an adjustable amount of cents
(100 Cent = 1 semitone). The main difference between
the detune effect and the chorus effect is that the detune
amount does not change: the modulating pitch is
specified as an offset to the original pitch.
The detune effect comprises two voices. If you think your
sound is simply too direct and clean, try a setting with
only a few cent off, on both voices – e.g. +2 cent on
voice 1 and -3 cent on voice 2.
Voice 1
Range: -100 to 100
This parameter determines the pitch offset of the first
voice in the Detune block.
Voice 2
Range: -100 to 100
This parameter determines the pitch offset of the second
Voice in the Detune block.
Delay 1
Range: 0 to 50 ms
This parameter specifies the delay of Voice 1.
Delay 2
Range: 0 to 50 ms
This parameter specifies the delay of Voice 2.
Mix
Range: 0 to 100%
This parameter sets the relationship between the dry
signal and the level of the effect in this Effect Block.
Whammy
The Whammy effect allows you to control the pitch of an
added voice with an external Expression pedal.
For Factory presets including the Whammy effect, the
Expression pedal connected to the Pedal Input
automatically controls the Pitch parameter, i.e. it acts as
a Whammy Pedal.
Pitch
Range: 0 to 100%
This parameter sets the amount of pitch shift relative to
the Range setting. A connected pedal adjusts this
parameter.
Dir – Direction
Range: Up – Down
This parameter determines whether the attached
Expression pedal should increase or decrease pitch
when moved in either direction.
Per default, pitch is up when the pedal is at “toe down
position”, i.e. this is the “Up” position.
Range
Range: 1-Oct/2-Oct
This parameter sets the range of the pitching effect.
Select 2-Oct for an extreme and 1-Oct for the more
commonly used, subtle Whammy effect.
