Stompbox Description
Robo Flanger Flexible anging eect. 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. Feedback
determines the amount of eect signal that is routed
back into the input. This can change the tonal color,
make the anging eect more pronounced, or do
both. The Manual knob sets a delay time between the
source and eect signals. This can result in anger-
chorus eects, or in metallic-sounding modulations,
particularly when used with high Feedback values.
Roswell Ringer A ring modulation eect that can make incoming
audio sound metallic, or unrecognizable, and can
deliver tremolos, brighten up signals, and more. The
Freq knob sets the core lter cuto frequency. Fine
is a ne tuning knob for the lter frequency. The
Lin/Exp switch determines if the frequency curve is
linear—with 12 notes per octave—or exponential. FB
(feedback) determines the amount of eect signal
that is routed back into the input. This can change
the tonal color, make the eect more pronounced,
or do both. Balance between the original and eect
signals is set with the Mix knob. See Ringshifter
overview
on page 194 for background information on
ring modulation.
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 200 for background information on
the Leslie eect.
