EFFECT 1 EFFECT 2
Chorus: this warm and rich effect is generated by using Comb
filters that creates slightly detuned copies of the input signal
and mix it into the output signal. The result sounds like an
ensemble of several simultaneous sounds, like a choir as op-
posed to a single voice; hence the name Chorus. The
detuning is generated by an internal LFO that can be control-
led in Rate and Depth by the related potentiometers of the
front panel.
Phaser: is a combination of several „allpass“ filters working
in parallel. This generates an effect with equally spaced fre-
quency peaks or troughs. The result is a strongly colorized
signal. The two potentiometers are controlling both the Rate
(speed) and Depth (amount) of the effect.
Flanger: very similar to the Chorus effect, it features a more
evident feedback circuitry to feed the generated signal back
into the comb filter. This generates a deeper detuning and co-
lorizes the signal. With extreme settings you can hear a very
characteristic whistling sound.
Delay: this is an effect produces echoes of the input signal;
the length can be changed without clicks or pitch changes an
this allows to experiment with different values without get-
ting bad side effects.
Reverb: this effect is probably the most widely used effect in
music production; it is used to add a realistic ambience to cle-
an and dry audio recorded in a studio andvery complicated
mathematical algorithms are needed to simulate the comple-
xity of a natural reverb. The instrument’s reverb effects don’t
intend to simulate a perfect natural room, rather they are an
addition to Sledge’s sound synthesis to make it more three (3)
dimensional and expressive.
The two potentiometers allow to control the level of this Ef-
fects (sometimes mentioned as Dry/Wet mix) and the Time,
for both the Delay effect (time between two repetitions) and
Reverb (duration of the reverb effect, that can also be inten-
ded as room size and diffusion in a simple mixed parameter).
