slowest repeats at 10. DAMPING/DEPTH controls the damping, with the darkest tone at 0 and the brightest tone at 10. Since the delay effect is not stereo, it is not affected by the WIDE switch. DELAY 1: One repeat. Works best for slapback delay used in country and swing guitar, and for rockabilly and some country vocals. Delay range is adjustable from 5ms to 524ms. DELAY 2: Two repeats. Provides a fuller, more dramatic effect for rock and gospel vocals, acoustic guitar, and wind instruments such as flute. Especially effective for some finger-picking styles. Delay range is adjustable from 5ms to 524ms. DELAY 3: Three repeats. An excellent delay for slow, bluesy vocals and melodic flute music. This delay usually works best when the channel EFX send is set at less than halfway. Delay range is adjustable from 5ms to 524ms. DELAY 4: Four repeats. This is for very dramatic delay effects, particularly for enhancing long vocal notes and dramatic instrumental note-chopping effects. Be sure to set the channel EFX send at about halfway. Delay range is adjustable from 5ms to 524ms. Modulation Effects These include Chorus, Flange, and Phaser, and are generally used for enhancement of instrumental music. However, Chorus adds a dramatic effect to vocals as well. The WIDE switch is very effective at dramatically increasing the strength and thickness of a modulation effect. For example, using WIDE on Chorus mimics a multi-voiced chorus effect. TIME/RATE controls the effect Rate, which is the speed of the sweeping effect. Fully counter-clockwise produces the slowest sweeps and fully clockwise produces the fastest. DAMPING/DEPTH controls the effect depth, which is the strength of the sweeping effect. Fully counter-clockwise produces the lightest sweeping effect and fully clockwise produces the thickest. CHORUS: Provides a soft, ethereal sweeping effect. Perfect for enhancement of electric and acoustic guitar and bass. Also adds a dramatic effect to vocals, particularly group harmonies and choirs. The channel�s EFX 2 (INT) should be set halfway or higher. Rate is adjustable from 0.5Hz to 30Hz. Depth is adjustable from 0% to 100%. FLANGE: Creates a strong sweeping effect, particularly effective on rock electric guitar, lead and rhythm. The channel�s EFX 2 (INT) should be set halfway or higher. Rate is adjust-

able from 0.5Hz to 20Hz. Depth is adjustable from 0% to 100%. PHASER: This effect is perfect for enhancing strummed acoustic guitar or electric guitar power chords. The PHASER effectively duplicates the popular 70�s phase shift effect used for guitar. Rate is adjustable from 0.5Hz to 35Hz. Depth is adjustable from 50% to 100%.

TIME/RATE
If you have a reverb effect selected, this control adjusts how long the reverberation lasts, with 0 being a short reverb time and 10 being the longest. If you have a delay effect selected, this adjusts the amount of time between the original signal and the delayed signal, with 0 being a short delay time and 10 being the longest delay time. If you have a chorus, flange, or phaser effect selected, this control adjusts the rate or speed of the modulation of the effect.

DAMPING/DEPTH
If you have a reverb or delay effect selected, this control adjusts how fast the higher frequencies roll off in the reverberation or delay, with 0 having little roll off and 10 having the most roll off. If you have a chorus, flange, or phaser effect selected, this control adjusts the depth of the modulation of the effect.

WIDE
Depending on the effect selected, this switch adds more width or depth to the effect. Note that it doesn�t work with the DELAY and PHASER effects because they are monophonic.

BYPASS
Pushing in this button causes the adjacent EFX BYPASS indicator to light and mutes the effects� output signal. It affects only the internal EMAC effects, not any external effects processor you may have connected to the STEREO EFX RETURN 2 jack.

CLIP
This indicates when the EMAC is 6 dB below clipping. Just like the channels� ZERO LEVEL LED, this LED should only light occasionally. If it blinks frequently, you should turn down EFX 2 SEND a little.
