8-12
Fdbk Image sets the amount that the stereo image is shifted each time it passes through the
feedback line. Range is -100 to 100%.
Tap n Shapr adjusts the intensity of the shaper at each output tap. Range is 0.10 to 6.00 x.
Tap n Pitch adjusts the frequency of the comb lter at each output tap. Range is C-1 to C8,
in semitones.
Tap n PtAmt adjusts the intensity of the comb lter at each output tap. Range is 0 to 100%.
Gated Ducking Delay
is runs the last thing you played through a looping delay, but only outputs the delay signal
when you aren’t playing. Gated Ducking Delay is great for that announcer sound, sound,
sound, so popular in Monster Truck radio spots.
DegenRegen
is one’s a big looping delay with lots of gain, distortion and ltering, and with a
compressor to keep it all under control.
Equalizers (EQ)
e Forte has both Graphic and Parametric EQ eects. Parametric EQ sections are also
found on a number of combination eects.
e Graphic equalizer is available as stereo (linked parameters for left and right) or dual
mono (independent controls for left and right). It has 10 bandpass lters per channel, each of
whose gain is adjustable from -12 dB to +24 dB.
Like all graphic equalizers, the lter response is not perfectly at when all gains are set to the
same level (except at 0 dB), but rather has ripple from band to band. To minimize this ripple,
it is best to center the overall settings around 0 dB.
e Parametric equalizer (“5-Band EQ”) has two bands of shelving lters and three bands of
true parametric EQ.
Treb Freq and Bass Freq set the center frequencies for the shelving lters. Both of these are
adjustable over the full range of 16 to 25088 Hz, in increments of a semitone.
Treb Gain and Bass Gain control the amount of cut or boost above (Treb) or below (Bass)
the center frequency. e range is -79 to +24 dB.
Midn Gain sets the cut or boost for the parametric band n, with a range of -79 to +24 dB.
Midn Freq sets the center frequency for parametric band n, with a range of 16 to 25088 Hz,
in increments of a semitone.
Midn Width set the bandwidth of the lter on band n, with a range of 0.01 to 5 octaves.
