Power Button/LED (1)
Power (and LED) will be ON when switch is pushed in.
Input Level Control (2)
This knob attenuates or boosts the incoming signals (left and right). Set this so that the Signal/Clip LED turns red only on extreme peaks (or not at all).
Signal/Clip LED (3)
This will illuminated green when either of the input signals reaches 18 dB under clipping. It will switch to red when the level reaches 3 dB under clipping.
Output Level Control (4)
This knob controls the volume of the Left and Right outputs.
Store Button (5)
Press this to enter Preset Store mode, which allows you to store the current effect settings. A destination (00.-99.) can be selected, and a second “press” will store the data. (Pressing one of the other buttons instead of a second press of Store will exit Store mode.)
Mode Button/LEDs (6)
Pressing the Mode button will scroll through the top three LEDs (Preset mode, Edit A mode, Edit B mode). Holding for one second will enter Defeat mode, after which a simple press will exit Defeat mode.
Numerical Display/Data Wheel (7)
This is the main editing tool. The wheel allows editing of the parameter that is currently displayed, indicated by the discrete LEDs.

Rotary Speaker Speed/Defeat (1)
A momentary mono footswitch will allow effect defeat (bypass or mute) or rotary speed toggle. The polarity of the footswitch will be sensed at power-up to allow normally closed or normally open types without the need for a global parameter (so make sure the footswitch is connected before you power up).
Audio Outputs (2)
These are Right and Left/Mono line-level outputs. Without a connection to the Right jack, the Left jack will go into Mono mode. This will sum certain individual effects to mono, but it will not combine the outputs of a preset with the dual mono configuration.
Audio Inputs (3)
These are Right and Left/Mono line-level inputs. Without a connection to the Right jack, the Left jack will feed both sides.
Power (4)
Input for the 16 VAC, 1.1 amp power adapter.
NOTE: Use only Peavey part #70900660, which is a DV-1611A.

Operating Modes
Preset Recall Mode:
This is the default power-up mode. The Preset mode LED will be lit, the display will show the preset number and the data wheel will scroll through presets. Setting the mode Select button to “Preset” will put the unit into this mode at any time.
User Presets 00. - 99. will be shown first (with the decimal point lit), while fixed Factory Presets 00 - 99 will be shown next (without the decimal point lit).
Note: The unit can be re-initialized to factory default settings by holding STORE and MODE while powering up. This will copy the Factory presets to the User presets, and initialize any globals (like bypass vs. mute) to their default setting. You will see “in” on the display for a few seconds while the unit restores its default setting.
A preset consists of: the settings for both effect engines (effect type, mix, parameters 1 & 2, level) and the configuration (routing).
Store Mode:
Press the Store button to activate Store mode. The destination number will blink. If you are on a User preset, the destination will initially be the same as the preset. If you are on a Factory preset, the default destination will be the same preset number, but in the User bank. At this point, you have three options:
1.Press the Store button again to store into the current destination
2.Use the data wheel to choose a different location and then store
3.Press any other button to escape Store
Edit Mode:
Press the Select button to enter Edit A or Edit B mode. (Shortcut: pressing the EDIT button when in Preset mode will also enter Edit A mode.) One of the four LEDs to the right of the display will light. Once in Edit mode, the EDIT button will scroll down through five parameters (if the effect is not off): the four shown next to each LED, and all LEDs on, indicating output level for effect A or B. At each stop the display will show the value, and the data wheel can be used to edit it.
The parameter being edited/displayed belongs to either effect block A or B, indicated by the Mode LEDs.
The CONFIG button will step through the four configurations (see page 9), which control how the two effect engines are routed between the inputs and outputs for the current preset. Typically, you would set this before editing the parameters, since it can (and most likely will) affect the overall sound – mix ratios, depths, etc.
11
Operating Modes
Defeat Mode:
This mode can be entered via a momentary footswitch plugged into the DEFEAT jack on the rear of the unit. It can also be entered by holding the MODE switch for a full second.
Defeat mode can be exited by another press of the footswitch, or a normal press of the MODE switch.
The display will read “by” when in Bypass mode, and “mu” when in Mute mode. To change which mode is used, press the CONFIG button to alternate between them while in the Defeat mode. This is a global setting that the unit will remember when powered down.
The data wheel can still be used to select presets while defeated. You will see the preset number for a moment, after which the “by” or “mu” will return to the display. The preset will load inaudibly, so you will hear it almost immediately when exiting defeat mode. If you need to simply see the current preset number while defeated, press the EDIT button to see it for a couple seconds. The display will switch back to “by” or “mu” automatically.
Bypass Mode:
In this mode, the left input will be routed to the left output, and the right input will be routed to the right output (the input and output level knobs will still be active – it’s not a hard-wired bypass). Use this mode when the unit is in a serial-type loop, such as a guitar amp’s effects loop, between a mixer and amplifier, etc.
Mute Mode:
When in this mode, the outputs will be muted. Use this mode when the unit is in a parallel loop, like a mixer’s aux send, etc. If used in series with an instrument or as a channel insert, it will disable the channel.
Editing tip: Choose Bypass or Mute prior to editing presets. The default mix parameters will be 99 (100%) when in Mute mode – saving you time from having to set them there.
12
Edit Parameters
Effect:
This is the Effect Type currently assigned to the engine. The 16 types are listed on the front panel. You can also edit below 1 to turn the engine off (shown as “--”). You can assign any effect to either engine
– even the same effect in both.
Mix:
Most of the effects (all except Compressor and Tremolo) have a wet/dry mix (adjustable when the MIX LED is lit). 00 is fully dry, 50 is equal amounts of wet and dry and 99 is fully wet. When using in an aux send (P.A. or studio), set the mix to 99 to get an “all effect” feed to the aux return or channel. When used in the effects loop of a guitar amp, increasing mix levels from 0 to 50 will result in more audible effect while still hearing plenty of dry sound.
Level:
All of the effects have an output level that is adjustable when all four EDIT LEDs are lit. When used in parallel, this is useful to balance the outputs. In series configuration, engine B’s level is basically a programmable preset level, while engine A’s level can be used to control the level driving engine B.
Output level range is:
0-99 – 0-100% (20% audio taper) b1b6 – Boosted by 1 dB - 6 dB
Parameters 1 and 2:
These parameter names are listed on the front of the unit for convenience. The descriptions of these for each effect type are below.
1 Plate Reverb
2 Hall Reverb
3 Room Reverb
These effects simulate different reverberant spaces by creating dense layers of echoes. Plate is a popular electronic reverb type, while Hall and Room are designed to simulate those environments.
Parameter 1 (Time) – Reverberation time – from 1 second up to 10 seconds. There are half-second intervals near the bottom of the range, then 1 second intervals for the remainder.
Parameter 2 (Color) – This provides a way to make the reverb darker sounding via a high-cut filter. The settings (in kHz.) are 1, 2, 4, 8, and “br” for bright, which disables the filter.
13
Edit Parameters
4 Short Delay
5 Bright Delay
6 Dark Delay
The delay effects create discrete echoes. The short delay can be used to really fine tune a short duration, or extremely short and mixed with the dry for a fixed comb filter (flange) effect. The Bright Delay is a longer delay. The Dark Delay is also long, but cuts a significant amount of treble from the wet signal to simulate vintage tape and analog echo units.
Parameter 1 (Time) – Delay time from 1 to 99 ms. on the Short delay, and 10 ms. to 1.4 seconds on the Bright and Dark delays.
For the Bright and Dark (long) Delays, the display will read as follows:
10 – 90 |
– 10-90 ms. |
10. – 99. |
– 100-990 ms. (picture a “zero” on the right instead of the decimal) |
0.0. – 4.1. |
– 1.00-1.41 seconds (picture a “1” on the left instead of the decimals) |
Parameter 2 (Feedback) – The amount of delay output that is fed back to the delay input, resulting in more echoes being repeated. Range is 0% to 99%.

This effect can be used totally wet (mix=99) to bring an instrument down a half step or more, or mixed with the dry sound to create a harmonized (using Steps) or detuned (using Fine) effect.
Parameter 1 (Steps) – This sets the coarse shift amount in semi-tones. Range is +/- 12.
Parameter 2 (Fine) – This will fine-tune the amount of pitch shift in between semitones. It’s useful when Steps is zero and mixed with the dry sound for a detuning effect. Range is +/-9.
Tip: When using two pitch shifters in parallel, it can be useful to mix them both fully wet with equal steps, but detune one slightly for some extra thickness.
8 Compressor
The Compressor effect reduces high signal levels and boosts small signal levels. The net result is a more consistent output volume and increased sustain.
Parameter 1 (Sustain) – This sets the maximum amount of gain that the compressor can use to amplify the signal up to the Limit level. It can be thought of as an intelligent drive control. Range is 0 to 6.
Parameter 2 (Limit) – This sets the maximum level that the compressor will allow on the output (even though transient peaks may exceed it for a short time since the attack time isn’t
instantaneous). Lower values will result in more apparent compression (which can be made up for with the output level). Range is 0% to 99%.

Edit Parameters
9 Chorus
10Flanger
11Phaser
12Tremolo
These are the standard modulation effects. The chorus modulates a left and right delay to create a detuned doubling. The flanger uses a shorter delay and feedback to create a modulated comb filter. The phaser uses modulated all-pass filters to create a different type of swept comb filter. The tremolo effect is the traditional amplitude-modulated effect.
Parameter 1 (Speed) – Rate of modulation, 0-99%.
Parameter 2 (Depth) – Intensity (width) of modulation, 0-99%.
13 Rotary
This effect simulates a two-way rotary speaker cabinet popular with organists (but is very useful on guitar and other signals). The signal is split into low and high frequencies and modulated separately and at slightly different speeds.
Parameter 1 (Speed) – Rate of modulation, 0-99%. Pressing the footswitch will allow you to toggle between two speeds, and you can set these low and high speeds however you want. (One of the speeds will be shown with the decimal point, and the other without.) The Rotary effect will ramp the speed between these values, just like a real rotating speaker.
If you want the footswitch to still act as a defeat, set either speed to “oF” for off, and the Dual DeltaFex® will enter Defeat (Bypass/Mute) mode instead of toggling the speed. (When editing Rotary, pressing the footswitch will always toggle the speed values to allow you to change the “oF” back to a real speed value.)
Parameter 2 (Depth) – Intensity (width) of modulation, 0-99%.
14 Distortion
The Distortion effect consists of a digital distortion followed by a tone section, then an optional speaker simulator for full-range systems (which removes a lot of the treble frequencies that a typical guitar cabinet does not reproduce). This effect does have a mix, which is something you don’t get with most distortion devices.
Tip: Experiment with running some dry sound along with the distortion to regain some note definition.
Parameter 1 (Drive) – The amount of gain, or distortion amount. Range: off, 0-10 (choose off to bypass the distortion and use the tone and speaker simulator by themselves).
Parameter 2 (Tone) – This cuts high end as you turn it down, like a tone knob on a distortion pedal. Range: 00 - 99 (non-cab simulated), then 00. - 99. (cab simulated).
15
Edit Parameters
15 Exciter
The Exciter effect adds harmonics as an enhancement to the dry signal. A popular use is to add a high-end “sheen” to vocals, acoustic guitars, etc.
Parameter 1 (Drive) – The amount of gain into the exciter, 0-99%. Higher gains produce more harmonics.
Parameter 2 (Frequency) – This controls the frequency of a low-cut filter preceding the exciter, allowing it to generate harmonics based on the higher frequencies.
16 Karaoke
This is a vocal removal effect that cancels any audio (above the crossover point) that is mixed down the center of the stereo field. Lead vocals are usually mixed this way, whereas instruments (and some background vocals) are usually panned away from center or stereo-mixed in other ways. Vocals mixed to center often have stereo effects added to them, so you will hear only the effects in many cases.
Note: Due to the nature of this effect, it will only work correctly under the following circumstances:
•Engine A in series mode (typical usage), or Engine B if Engine A is off
•Engine A or B in parallel mode with the other engine off (muted)
Parameter 1 (Crossover) – Frequencies lower than this point will not be canceled. Bass and kick drum are popular choices for mixing down the center, and the goal is for that low end to still be audible. Increase it for more bass, decrease for more cancellation on low-pitched vocals. Range is 100 Hz –190 Hz (display shows 0.0. – 9.0.).
Parameter 2 (Pan) – This will control the balance between the left/right mix (treble side, after the crossover). This could be used to get less cancellation when wanted, or get more cancellation in cases where the vocal may be slightly panned (or the source left and right signals are not the same exact level). Range is +/- 9 (default is 0).
Tip: What happens if you drive a mono signal into this effect? Interestingly enough, it acts as a drastic midrange scoop. Raising the Crossover point will increase the bass, and moving the Cancel Amt away from zero will increase the midrange. There is usually a substantial volume loss, but the output level can add 6 dB, and the other effect block can add more if used in series. Factory presets 71 and 81 use the Karaoke effect as a mid scoop for guitar.

Factory Preset List
The following page shows the mapping for the 100 factory presets. These presets are always available as 00-99 (without the decimal point), and also reside in the user presets when the unit is initialized from the factory.
Presets 00 to 49 are designed for mixer aux sends and parallel effects loops (where the audio from the Dual DeltaFex® is adding to the already audible dry sound). Most mix settings will be full. These are typically used with the defeat mode set to Mute.
Presets 50 to 99 are designed for series-type applications (guitar amp serial effects loops, between guitar and amp, between CD player and mixer, etc.) Mix parameters are generally set for the dry sound to come through the unit with the effected sound added to it. These are typically used with the Defeat mode set to Bypass.
