Chorus simulates the sound of several guitars playing at once, making the over-
all sound "fatter". The chorus effect is produced by using two delayed signals
(Voice 1 and Voice 2) and modulating the delay time for a slight pitch bend and
greater perceived spaciousness. For Chorus Depth & Level the same chorus is
active, the two positions on the EFFECT SELECT knob determine what the
EFFECT ADJUST knob is adjusting. Adjusting with the EFFECT ADJUST
knob changes the Depth (amount of modulation) on Chorus Depth and the Level
(volume of Voice 1 and Voice 2) on Chorus Level.
The Flanger effect creates a "whooshy", "swirly" sound. Flanging is very simi-
lar to chorus, but the delay time is shorter, so that when summed back with the
direct signal, phase cancellations and peaks will occur to create a comb filter.
Modulating the delay time will cause the "teeth" of the comb filter to move up
and down in frequency. Adjusting with the EFFECT ADJUST knob changes the
Depth (amount of modulation) on Flanger Depth and the Resonance (more jet
airplane effect) on Flanger Res.
The Rotary effect simulates a miked, rotating speaker horn (i.e. Leslie). Press-
ing the RATE button will change from a slow to a fast rotation rate or vice-
versa. The EFFECT ADJUST changes the slow rotation rate.
The EFFECT ADJUST knob adjusts the Pitch (in 2-cent increments from -30 to
+30 cents) on Detune Pitch and the Level on Detune Level.
The Compressor effect allows you to compress the signal prior to the distortion
stage. It compresses the sound so that the softer sounds are louder. Compres-
sion is used to maintain an even level when using clean tones, and also to in-
crease sustain when using distorted tones or at lower volume levels.
Bypasses the effects -- turns them OFF -- except for Delay, Reverb, and HUSH,
which are always available unless muted separately via MIDI commands.
There are some great sounding, Rocktron Intellifex quality effects in the RepliTone MP. To pick the
effect you want to hear, turn the EFFECT knob. You can control the character of the effect by tapping
the RATE button and turning the EFFECT ADJUST knob.
