Chorus - a classic chorus effect that is inspired by a couple of select vintage analog chorus pedals. Use this algorithm to add fullness and achieve rich, shimmering sound of the 80’s, or maybe just a touch of subtle pitch movement.
Parameters : Rate, Depth, Tone.
Step Phase - this is a 4-stage phaser algorithm that employs step LFO to modulate the phase shifts, producing quantized and stepped sweeps, instead of smooth ones. This algorithm delivers sweet and hypnotic rhythmic steps that makes you groove on and on!
Parameters : Rate, Blend, Wave Pattern.
Phaser - this versatile phaser algorithm is modelled after the MXR® EVH-Phase 90 pedal, which uses 4-stage phase-shifting elements to create smooth and swirly phasing sounds. Feedback (resonance) control provides continuous adjustment of the phasing intensity, you can go from smooth and subtle all the way to modern and in-you-face phasing sounds.
Parameters : Rate, Feedback, Wave Pattern.
Envelope Filter - this algorithm filters your guitar sound using a set of filters whose characteristics follows the dynamics of your picking, kind of playing a wah pedal with the rocker position controlled, not by four foot, but with your picking strength. 4 types of filters are available to choose from : Lowpass 1, Lowpass 2, Bandpass, and Highpass.
Parameters : Sensitivity, Resonance, Filter Type.
Octave - this algorithm synthesizes polyphonic octave-up and octave-down component of the input signal and blends these components with the direct signal to produce output. The level of each component are adjusted using the three available knobs.
Parameters : Level (octave down), Level (octave up), Level (direct).
EchoSwell - This algorithm slows down the attack of the input signal’s envelope, creating a ‘volume swell’ effect that is normally created using the guitar’s volume knob or a volume pedal. One thing we discovered while designing this algorithm is that things get exponentially more interesting when we have echoes following this volume-swelled sound. This combination produces huge layers of sound, like an orchestra of violins!
Parameters : Echo Time, Echo Blend, Swell Time.
UniVibe - a re-creation of the classic Uni-vibe® effect. Technically this is similar to a 4-stage phaser, but the unique phase modulation sweeps created by the use of light bulbs and light-dependent resistors LDRs (in the original pedal) gives its signature sound, the sounds that was made huge by Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower, and others in the 60’s and 70’s. While originally designed as a rotary speaker effect simulation (not so close) pedal, it became an effect its own right.
Parameters : Rate, Blend, Intensity.
Parameters : Rate, Depth, Tone.

Chorus - a classic chorus effect that is inspired by a couple of select vintage analog chorus pedals. Use this algorithm to add fullness and achieve rich, shimmering sound of the 80’s, or maybe just a touch of subtle pitch movement.
Parameters : Rate, Depth, Tone.
Dimentia - this algorithm is a re-creation of the Roland® DC-2 Dimension C pedal, a highly revered effect unit with an unmistakably unique sound. DC-2 is basically a chorus pedal, with one important distinction : it tends to hide the pitch modulation and periodic nature of conventional chorus effects, thus allows pronounced chorusing while still seeming subtle. A signal that I goes into this pedal will come out sounding big, spacious, with a sense of depth - sort of adding ’dimensions’ to the sound.
Parameters : Rate, Depth, Pre-delay.

Feedback (resonance) control provides continuous adjustment of the phasing intensity, you can go from smooth and subtle all the way to modern and in-you-face phasing sounds.
Parameters : Rate, Feedback, Wave Pattern.
Flanger - this is our take on the classic flanger effect. Despite of having only 3 knobs, this algorithm is capable of delivering wide range of flanging sounds, from subtle swirls to intense jet plane sweeps and swooshes.
Parameters : Rate, Depth, Feedback.
Octave - this algorithm synthesizes polyphonic octave-up and octave-down component of the input signal and blends these components with the direct signal to produce output. The level of each component are adjusted using the three available knobs.
Parameters : Level (octave down), Level (octave up), Level (direct).
Tremolo - this algorithm modulates the volume of your guitar signal, resulting in periodic volume variation. There are 4 wave shapes to choose from, and each one gives distinct tremolo characteristic
Formant - this alg
orithm applies a set of Formant filters, which mimic the characteristic of human vocal tract, any signal that goes through this algorithm will sound as if it was radiated through a human’s mouth. Spectrally-rich signal such as an overdriven guitar sound excites these filters the best.
Parameters : Rate, Depth, Mode.
Parameters : Rate, Depth, Tone.

- Triangle - Gradual rise and fall - at slow rate you could achieve volume-swell like effect.
- Sine - smooth, even, and nice.
- Shark Fin - the sharp attack and smooth decay of this waveform uniquely modifies the timbre of your sound, sort of adding piano-like chime.
- Square - chops your signal on and off, hard and fast.

2-Effects Combination
Capability to engage 2 effects simultaneously allows very interesting combinations. Try pairing each of the algorithms in DSP-X with those of DSP-Y. The algorithms placement have been arranged in such a way that allows musically useful and radical 2-effects combinations. Here are some that you can try.
