Parallel
Parallel Configurations consist of two discrete “side-by-side” mono-in/stereo-out
effects. These Configurations are identified by the presence of a “+” in their name. In
each case, the Left input is routed to one effect, while the Right input is routed to the
other. The stereo outputs of both effects are then summed together to the outputs.
The dry, uneffected signal of both inputs are also routed to the outputs.

other. The stereo outputs of both effects are then summed together to the outputs.
The dry, uneffected signal of both inputs are also routed to the outputs.
Examples: Room+Hall, Room+Chorus, etc.
Dual Mono
Dual Mono Configurations consist of two discrete “side-by-side” mono-in/mono-out
effects. These Configurations are identified by the presence of a “:” in their name. In
each case, the Left input is routed to one effect, while the Right input is routed to the
other. The left signal only feeds the left output, and the right signal only the right
output. The Configurations with a ":" in their name have independent control of the
two effects; while CHORUS/FLANGE has two separate mono signal paths that are
controlled by synchronized parameters to give a total stereo effect. The dry,
uneffected signal of both inputs are also routed to the outputs.

Multi Chain
The Multi Chain Configurations provide two or three stereo effects, which are
connected in series; i.e. one feeding the next in the chain. These Configurations are
identified by the presence of one or two “

quality but are less processor-intensive than their Single Configuration equivalents,
since the Digital Signal Processor is accommodating more than one effect at a time. In
