Detune

A Detune effect is similar to the classic Chorus

effect: The source signal is split, and a

specified amount of the signal is detuned by a

certain, customizable amount. The main

difference between the Detune effect and the

Chorus effect is that the Detune amount does

not change. It is achieved simply by offsetting

the original signal’s pitch.

The Detune algorithm in the Pitch block

generates two voices. If you think your sound is

simply too direct and clean, try out a setting in

which both voices are detuned just by a few

Cents; e.g. +2 Cents on Voice 1 and -3 Cents

on Voice 2 (100 Cents = 1 semitone).

A Delay can be applied to each voice, e.g. to

generate a “Slapback” effect.
Voice L

Range: -100 to 100 Cents

Offsets the first Voice in the Detune block.
Voice R

Range: -100 to 100 Cents

Offsets the second Voice in the Detune block.
Delay L

Range: 0 to 50 ms

Specifies the delay on the first Voice.
Delay R

Range: 0 to 50 ms

Specifies the delay on the second Voice.
Mix

Range: 0 to 100 %

This parameter sets the relationship between

the level of the dry signal and the level of the

effect in this block.
OutLev – Out Level

Range: -100 to 0 dB

This parameter sets the overall output level for

this effect.

Whammy

The Whammy effect gives you the opportunity

to control the pitch of an added voice with an

external MIDI expression pedal.
Pitch

Range: 0 to 100 %

This parameter sets the mix between the dry

and processed signal. If e.g. set to 100 %, no

direct guitar tone will be heard – only the

processed “pitched” tone (this applies only for

the Serial and the Semi parallel mode).
Direction

Settings: Up/Down

This parameter determines whether the

attached expression pedal should increase or

decrease Pitch when moved in either direction.
Range

Range: 1-Oct/2-Oct

Selects how far the Whammy block will pitch

your tone. Select “2-Oct” for the extreme and

“1-Oct” for the more commonly used Whammy

effects.
OutLev – Out Level

Range: -100 to 0 dB

This parameter sets the overall output level for

this effect.
