As ever, these settings are a rough guide to get you started. Use your ears to find the sound you're after.
| Slap-back delay | 20 to 80ms, no feedback |
| Tunnel Echo/Resonator | 2 to 10ms, feedback as high as possible |
| Tempo Delay | 60 ÷ BPM gives you the delay time of one bar in seconds. Divide this by four to give the delay time per crotchet |
| Echo | 100 to 300ms with feedback |
| Vibrato | 3 to 10ms delay time, modulation rate between 3 and 8 Hz, depth by ear |
| Phasing | 3 to 10ms delay time, mix control set to 50/50, modulation rate between 3 and 8 Hz, depth set by ear. Try 'Feedback Invert' if you've got it |
| Flanging | 5 to 50ms delay time, mix control set to 50/50, modulation rate between 3 and 8 Hz, depth set by ear. Increase feedback to make the effect more dramatic. Try 'Feedback Invert' if you've got it |
| Chorus | 30 to 100ms delay time, mix control set to 50/50, modulation rate between 3 and 8 Hz, depth set by ear. Little or no feedback. Increasing feedback creates a rotary speaker effect. |
