Rocktron RepliTone MP - Manual (Page 17)

HUSH is Rocktron's patented single-ended noise reduction system. The HUSH
system contained in the RepliTone MP is a fully digital implementation achieved
through Digital Signal Processing (DSP). The HUSH circuit is located after the
A/D converter in the signal chain to reduce any noise generated from the guitar
and the A/D converter. This insures a quiet input signal to the preamp section.
Because the preamp section is digital, it is virtually noise-free. Therefore, a
quiet input signal to the preamp will result in a quiet output signal. The HUSH
effect is always ON. When HUSH is selected on the EFFECT SELECT button,
turning the EFFECT ADJUST knob allows you to adjust the HUSH Threshold.
Note: HUSH works best w/Hi Gain settings. When playing using "clean" tones,
the HUSH usually insn't necessary - turn it down for greater clean dynamics.
The Wah effect is an internal type of frequency filter (which varies the bass and
treble content of a signal) that adds expressive vocal-like characteristics to the
guitar. Use of this feature allows for an expression pedal to be used as a wah-
wah pedal instead of a conventional wah-wah pedal and long audio cables.
To use an expression pedal as a wah-wah pedal, connect it to a MIDI controller
(such as a Rocktron MIDI Mate or MIDI I.T.)
The Delay effect is a reproduction of the input signal, occurring at a prescribed
time (usually expressed in milliseconds) following the input signal. The Regen
and Pan positions allow you to use the EFFECT ADJUST knob to set the Re-
generation (the number of times the signal repeats itself) on Delay Regen and
the Pan (movement of the signal between the left and right channels) on Delay
Pan.
Phase shifting involves splitting the input signal into two signals, then shifting
the phase of different frequencies of one signal and mixing it back with the
original signal. This also creates a comb filter like the flanger, but without as
many "teeth". Adjusting the EFFECT ADJUST knob will change the depth
parameter. Higher parameter settings result in the sweep of the filtering effect
occurring over a wider frequency range.
Tremolo is the rapid wavering of the volume (not pitch, like vibrato) that makes
your guitar sound as if you are playing it through a slowly moving electric fan.
Tremolo 1 has a triangle wave modulation which is slightly more subtle than
Tremolo 2 which has a square wave modulation for a more pronounced effect.
The EFFECT ADJUST knob adjusts the depth parameter on both settings. Lower
depth settings produce more subtle tremolo effects, while higher settings will
result in a more extreme tremolo effect.
