Appendix C: Table of Effects Presets
No. Title Description Example of its use
01 Bright Room This room has a bright tone with lots of scattered
reflections to simulate harder, more reflective surfaces.
Useful on vocals that require a brighter reverb to
cut through the mix, or for giving acoustic
instruments a livelier vibe.
02 Warm Lounge This preset features a medium sized room sound, with
just enough enhancement of the lower mids to produce a
warm tone.
Useful for vocals on songs that require a larger,
more “wet” sound, or for giving dimension to
bright horns without adding harshness.
03 Small Stage This preset simulates the sound of a small concert stage,
with a medium reverb time and reverberant space.
Useful for vocals or guitars in fast paced,
high-energy songs that call for a “live”
sounding reverberation.
04 Warm Theater This reverb has a warm bodied tone and medium long
reverb time to simulate the live acoustics of a theater
space.
Perfect for vocals, drums, acoustic and electric
guitars, keyboards and more.
05 Warm Hall This reverb simulates the sound of a spacious, yet cozy,
heavily draped and carpeted concert hall with an
especially warm tone.
Perfect for adding natural concert hall ambience
to close-mic’ed orchestral instruments.
06 Concert Hall This hall reverb is characterized by its large, spacious
sound, long pre-delay, and vibrant tone.
Adds life to acoustic instruments and vocals from
solos to full-on symphonies and choirs.
07 Plate Reverb This preset emulates vintage mechanical reverberation
that was generated with a metal plate. Its sound is
characterized by lots of early reflections and no
pre-delay.
Perfect for thickening percussive instruments, such
as a snare drum, or tight vocal arrangements.
08 Cathedral This reverb emulates the extremely long tails, dense
diffusion and long pre-delays and reflections that would
be found in a very large, stone walled house of worship.
Gives amazing depth to choirs, wind instruments,
organs and soft acoustic guitars.
09 Chorus This preset provides a soft, ethereal sweeping effect
that is useful for thickening and for making a
particular sound pop out of the mix.
Perfect for enhancement of electric and acoustic
guitar and bass, or to add a dramatic effect to
vocals, particularly group harmonies and choirs.
10 Chorus + Reverb This preset perfectly combines the chorus effect above
with a large, roomy reverb.
This effect thickens the sound with chorus while
adding warmth and spaciousness thanks to the
smooth reverb.
11 Doubler This effect simulates the sound of a vocal or instrument
being recorded twice (double-tracked) on a multi-track
recorder.
Provides a vibe that is similar to chorus without
the subtle swirl.
12 Echo A single-repeat echo, not as fast as the Doubler.
This effect provides a single, relatively rapid delay
of the original signal, with the added warmth that
vintage tape-based echo units provided.
Also known as Slap Back Echo, use it to make a
vocal or guitar stand out in the mix without extra
volume.

DLY 1 (Fast)
DLY 2 (Med)
DLY 3 (Slow)
These three presets provide delay with delay times
of fast, medium and slow.
These work best with full, up-beat music like rock
where the delay needs to cut through the mix.
16 Pan Delay This fast delay bounces signal back 'n' forth from Left to
Right and back again. Overall decay time is shorter than
DLY 1-3.
This works best in a stereo mix.
