Title

Description

Example of its use

1

ROOM 1

This room has a bright tone with lots of 

scattered refl ections to simulate harder, 

more refl ective surfaces. 

Useful on vocals that require a 

brighter reverb to cut through 

the mix, or for giving acoustic 

instruments a livelier vibe. 

2

ROOM 2

This preset features a medium sized 

room/lounge 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. 

3

ROOM 3

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.

4

ROOM 4

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. 

5

HALL 1

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. 

6

HALL 2

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. 

7

PLATE

This preset emulates vintage mechanical 

reverberation that was generated with a 

metal plate. Its sound is characterized by 

lots of early refl ections and no pre-delay.

Perfect for thickening percussive 

instruments, such as a snare drum, 

or tight vocal arrangements.

8

CATHEDRAL

This reverb emulates the extremely long 

tails, dense diffusion and long pre-delays 

and refl ections 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. 

9

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 lets you both thicken your sound 

with the chorus effect while adding 

warmth and spaciousness thanks to 

the smooth reverb.

11

DELAY 1 (50 MS)

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

DELAY 2 (180 MS)

TAPE SLAP

This effect provides a single, relatively rapid 

delay of the original signal, with the added 

warmth that vintage tape-based echo 

units provided. 

Often used on vocals for a 1950’s 

era feel, or on guitars for a surf-type 

tone. Often used by people whose 

favorite number is 12.

15

DELAY 3  (300MS)

DELAY 4  (380MS)

DELAY 5 (480 MS)

These delay presets provide three repeats 

of the original signal. The default delay 

time for each preset is shown in ms - the 

smaller the time, the faster the delay. 

These work best with full, up-beat 

music like rock where the delay 

needs to cut through the mix. 

16

REVERB + DELAY 

(250MS)

This effect combines the Room 4 reverb 

effect with the echoes of the 3-repeat 

delay effect. 

Perfect for thickening vocals while 

adding dimensions, it can also be 

used as a spacey effect on electric 

guitars.

17

PUNK (probably 

not available)

Turns all lyrics into those of teenage 

rebellion about never having a nice 

girlfriend/car/dad/mom/school/job. 

Perfect for spelling bees and 

primary school concerts.
