User manual DIGITECH 2120

[. . . ] User's Guide Please visit Digitech Electronics on the World Wide Web at http://www. digitech. com WARNING CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN FOR YOUR PROTECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: WATER AND MOISTURE: Appliance should not be used near water (e. g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc). Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings. POWER SOURCES: The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance. [. . . ] Selects which crossover type will be used for the Primary Secondary reverb stages. These two Parameters allow the crossover to be turned On or Off for each reverb stage. When Off, that particular stage will be full bandwidth, otherwise its frequency response is limited by the X-Over Type and Frequency parameters. Adjusts how quickly the room absorbs the high-frequency reverberations. In a real room, absorptive materials can be used to dampen the natural high-frequency reverberations of the room. High settings of DAMP cause the reverberations to darken tonally and become less defined over the course of DECAY. Low settings cause less dramatic room effects on the tone of the reverberations. This control can be used to darken the response of bright-sounding gated reverbs. Ranges from 100 Hz to 8 kHz in the Gated Reverb and from 100 Hz to 20 kHz in the Stereo Gated Reverb. Controls the length of the gated reverb in milliseconds (much like the DECAY control of a normal reverb). Ranges from 25 milliseconds to 300 milliseconds in the Gated Reverb and from 500 milliseconds in the Stereo Gated Reverb. Cross-mixes reverberations from the left side into the right side and vice-versa. This can be used to increase the realism of the simulated room by adding reverberations from different parts of the room to each channel. Adjusts the amount of BLEND for the Primary and Secondary reverb stages. This one control could have been divided among Size Density Dispersion Diffusion X-Over Type X-Over Freq Prim & Secd X-Over Prim & Secd Damp Low Pass Time Blend Prim & Secd Blend Decay 34 User Guide 2120 VGS Artist Section - 4 Effects and Parameters and Reflection controls but has been simplified here for easier use. For more natural sounding reverbs, you may also want to decrease the DENSITY setting as DECAY is shortened. Ranges from . 5 to 23 seconds depending on the Reverb Type currently selected. Prim & Secd Decay Controls the length (RT60) for the Primary and Secondary reverberation stages. Larger SIZE and REFLCT settings will allow longer reverb decay times while smaller settings reduce the length of the reverb decays but produce better small environment emulations. Changes the relative room size of the Primary and Secondary reverb stages. Controls the simulation of energy loss of sound each time it is reflected. Hard, smooth materials like glass and wood have more reflectivity that softer, more porous materials. This control can be thought of as determining the "liveness" of the room.

Using the <4> knob, you can turn the Cabinet Emulator to either Local On or Global On mode, or Global Off. Global vs. Local EQ & Wet/Dry Mixer The thing to factor in when using the Global EQ and Wet/Dry Mixer in either global or local mode is whether or not you want all of your sounds affected by this change.
