Reverbs & Delays

Because it is one of the eects you will use all the time, the FX2000 provides 12 uniquely dierent
reverb programs, so you always have the ideal reverb no matter what your live performance or
studio calls for.

Standard Reverbs

Cathedral Dense, long reverb of a large cathedral – often used in solo instruments and vocals

Gold Plate Simulates the sound of plate reverberators – a classic for drums (snare) and vocals

Small Hall Simulates a small, lively (strongly reflecting) performance hall

Room Simulates the sound of reflections from the walls of a room

Studio Effectively createss the reverberation of a small to mid-sized room

Concert Recreates the sound reflection of a small theater or large hall

Stage Well suited for dissipating the sound of a keyboard or acoustic guitar

Spring Reverb Simulates the sound of the classic spring reverb

Ambience Reproduces the sound of a room impression without late reflections

Early Reflections Generates the clearly audible, initial reflections of a room

Specialty Reverb Selections

Gated Reverb Reverb is synthetically turned off after predetermined amount of time

Reverse Reverb Reverb envelope is reversed, slowly gets louder

Delay Selections

Stereo Delay Delay processed across entire stereo image

Tap e Echo Simulates classic tape echo devices, predates digital delays

Ping Pong Delay signal “bounced” from left to right at adjustable tempo

Much More than Just Reverb and Delay

The FX2000 has some of the best-sounding reverb and delay programs, but that’s not all. It also
provides exceptional modulation eects, such as chorus, anger and phaser – including special
variations, such as a musical pitch shifter, tremolo and even a rotating speaker simulation.

Modulation and Pitch Shifter FX

Stereo Flanger

Vintage Flanger Simulates guitar flanger stomp box

Jet Stream Flanger Simulates classic analog flanger

Stereo Chorus Combines a slightly detuned signal with the original

Analog Chorus Simulates guitar chorus stomp box

Vintage Chorus Simulates classic analog studio chorus

Ultra Chorus Creates sound of an 8-person chorus

Stereo Phaser Combines additional, phase-shifted signal with original

Vintage Phaser Simulates guitar phaser stomp box

Dual Phaser Processes the left and right channels separately

Leslie Simulates rotating speakers typically used on an organ – Slow or Fast

Pitch Shifter Creates harmonies with original signal, or replaces it with altered pitch

Vibrato Peak frequency of tone periodically and uniformly changed – Slow or Fast

Tremolo Volume of tone periodically and uniformly changed – Slow or Fast

Auto Panning Signal automatically sent from left to right, either once or multiple times

Originally generated by playback of two synchronized “reel to reel” tape decks with
finger rubbing flange of 1 take-up reel

Dynamic FX

Compressor

Expander Broadens dynamic range of signal, reduces background noise

Gate Mutes sounds below threshold, very effective on drum/vocal mics

Analog Compressor/Limiter Similar to Compressor, but limits maximum volume level

Ultramizer

Denoiser Eliminates or reduces noise and other interference

De-esser Reduces or removes sibilance (Ssss sound) from signal

Wave Designer Allows adjustment of attack and release of the signal envelope

Reduces signal dynamic range, maintains consistent level to avoid distortion from
high input levels

Analyzes signal and applies automatic compression across 2 independent
frequency bands

Psychoacoustic FX

Exciter

Enhancer Dyanmic EQ for improving clarity and stereo image, similar to Exciter

Ultra Bass Sub-harmonic processor combined with bass Exciter and Limiter

Stereo Imager

Ultra Wide Creates much broader stereo image

Binauralizer Creates broader stereo image with compensation for speaker crosstalk

Filter/EQ FX

Auto Filter

LFO Filter

Parametric EQ Allows control of bandwidth, frequency and amplitude of signal

Graphic EQ Signal content divided into 6 adjacent frequency bands, can be cut or boosted

Artificially adds overtones, increasing presence and perceived loudness without
actually increasing volume

Divides input into middle and side signals, so thery can be amplified selectively and
then placed within the stereo image

3 filter options for changing the signal’s frequency response: low pass,
band pass and high pass

Similar to Auto Filter, but modulated by an oscillator with
variable wave types and speeds

(fixed bandwidth)

Distortion FX and Amp Simulations

Vocal Distortion Highly effective on vocals and drum loops, when combined with delay flanger

Tube Distortion Simulates the sound of a wide range of vacuum tube types

Guitar Amp Recreates the sound characteristics of a complete guitar amplifier

Tri -Fu zz Simulates classic ’60s guitar fuzz box using 3 separate frequency bands

Speaker Simulation Adds the sound of a variety of loudspeaker configurations

Ring Modulator Radical effect based on Frequency Modulation (FM), similar to robot voice

Lo-Fi Generates warm, old-school analog signal with added noise and hum

Special FX

Vinylizer Adds clicks and/or noise to signal, simulating old vinyl records and tape decks

Sampler Allows recording and playback – up to 5 seconds

Vocoder

Voice Canceler Removes mono vocals from stereo recordings for “instant Karaoke”

Resonator Simulates an oscillating system amplifying a specific frequency

FX Combinations

Chorus & Reverb Phaser & Reverb

Flanger & Reverb Chorus & Delay

Leslie & Reverb Flanger & Delay

Pitch & Reverb Pitch & Delay

Delay & Reverb Tremolo & Delay

Tremolo & Reverb

Allows input signal to modulate another signal (usually synthesizer) to create

“talking synthesizer“ effect
