2.3 FX 1/2
The PowerMate offers two independently controllable, identically configured 24-bit stereo effect units
– FX 1 and FX 2. Each unit provides 100 program presets, which are selected by the use of the UP/
DOWN buttons. Parameters of presets can be edited and stored as User Preset (101 - 120), see
page 30 for details. The 100 presets are divided into groups according to their different effect struc-
ture, as shown on a printed listing. The programs within each preset group are sorted in ascending
order, where higher numbers provide the same FX type with increased intensity. Presets 1 - 20 offer
high quality reverberation effect programs that are equally suitable for live performance, recording stu-
dio or home recording applications. Program numbers 21 - 40 provide mixed effect types of echo+re-
verb and chorus while the numbers 41 - 60 offer different delay effects. The last group from 61 - 100
provides different doubling effects presets as well as special delay and reverb programs. During the
initialization of the FX units (when switching on the power of the PowerMate), preset 05 (BRIGHT
HALL, Large Hall 3) is selected for the FX 1 while the FX 2 unit is set to preset 55 (MONO DELAY, 230
ms 40%). These two effects are similarly suitable for live performances and recording applications.
This is the factory-preset configuration that can be changed any time.
