Stompbox Description
Roto Phase A phaser eect that adds movement to, and alters the
phase of, the signal. Rate sets the modulation speed
and can either run freely or be synchronized with the
host application tempo when you enable the Sync
button. When synchronized, you can specify bar, beat,
and note values, including triplets and dotted notes,
with the Rate knob. Intensity sets the strength of the
eect. The Vintage/Modern switch activates a xed-
frequency internal EQ when switched to Vintage and
deactivates it when switched to Modern.
Spin Box Emulation of a Leslie rotor speaker cabinet, commonly
used with the Hammond B3 organ. Cabinet sets the
type of speaker box. Fast Rate sets the maximum
modulation speed—this applies only when the Fast
button is active. Response determines the amount
of time required for the rotor to reach its maximum
and minimum speed. Drive increases the input gain,
introducing distortion to the signal. The Bright switch
activates a high shelving lter when turned on. The
Slow, Brake, and Fast buttons determine how the
“speaker” behaves: Slow rotates the speaker slowly;
Fast rotates the speaker quickly, up to the maximum
speed determined by the Fast Rate knob; and Brake
stops the speaker rotation. See Rotor Cabinet eect
overview
on page 212 for background information on
the Leslie eect.
Total Tremolo A exible tremolo eect—modulation of the signal
level. Rate sets the modulation speed and can
either run freely or be synchronized with the host
application tempo when you enable the Sync button.
When synchronized, you can specify bar, beat, and
note values, including triplets and dotted notes. Depth
sets the strength of the eect. Wave and Smooth work
in combination to change the LFO waveform shape.
This enables you to create oating changes in level,
or abrupt steps. Volume determines the output level
of the eect. The 1/2 Speed and 2x Speed buttons
immediately halve or double the current Rate value.
Hold down the Speed Up and Slow Down buttons to
gradually accelerate or reduce the current Rate value
to the maximum or minimum possible values.
Trem-o-Tone A tremolo eect—modulation of the signal level.
Rate sets the modulation speed and can either run
freely or be synchronized with the host application
tempo when you enable the Sync button. When
synchronized, you can specify bar, beat, and note
values, including triplets and dotted notes. Depth sets
the strength of the eect. Level sets the post-tremolo
gain.
