EFFECTS DIRECTION

The parameter allows you to set the flow or direction of the effects. Most

multi-effects processors follow a ‘traditional’ path for the effects - i.e.:

DIST/EQ MOD FX ECHO REVERB

However, there are times when you want to have the modulation and echo effects in

parallel with each other or to be able chorus, flange or phase the reverb to add a shimmer

or a ‘swoosh’ to the reverb decay. When using separate outboard effects processors, this

is simply a matter of patching the effects in the order you want. Many multi-effects

processors don’t allow this, however, and you are limited to just one path as depicted

above.

The S3000XL’s effects processor allows you to set the path of the effects with one simple

control, the . You may have mod/echo followed by reverb; you may have

reverb followed by mod/echo or you may have mod/echo and reverb in parallel.

L/R outs

When the is set to 00, the mod/echo section and the reverb section feed

the main left/right outputs in parallel. The display will show .

When set to +50, the output of the mod/echo section is fed into the reverb. The display

will show .

When set to -50, the output of the reverb is fed into the mod/echo section. The display will

show .

You will note that as you change the path control parameter, the direction is shown

beneath it:

When set to values in between, this means that part of the signal is going to the reverb or

the mod/echo section whilst also feeding the L/R outputs directly. For example, setting the

to +25 indicates that some of the mod/echo section is being fed to the

reverb whilst also going direct to the L/R outputs. Similarly, a setting of -25 would send

some reverb to the mod/echo section whilst some reverb is going direct to the main

outputs.
