Now we’re ready to go back to the 

PARAM1

 page, parameters 2 and 3. Bass Boost can

be useful for adding a little warmth to a hall program. By setting the frequency to
237Hz and the Level to 100, we can add a touch of warmth to our hall program.

Now, you can go back to the 

CONFIG

 page and adjust the 

SEND

 and

 OUTPUT

 levels

for whatever balance of “wet and dry” you want.

Setting Input Levels

For quietest operation, it’s best in most cases to leave the input level high, and if you
want less reverb, to turn the output level down.  The input level should be high
enough to be well above the noise floor to get the best dynamic range, but not so
high that it clips the digital effects engine itself.  If you see the word 

 

CLIP

 appear in

the lower right side of an effects page, lower the 

SEND

 level on the 

CONFIG

 page.

Setting Output Levels

On the other hand, it is possible to set the Output so high that it can clip the final
summing amps of the Andromeda.  If this happens, you’ll hear it.  Turn off the

 switch to make sure it’s the effect, and not something in the program.

If it’s the effect, restructure your gain.  Sometimes this means going all the way back
to the levels of the 

.

To “SOLO” the Effects

To hear the reverb and only the reverb while you’re listening to the Main Outputs,
simply press the 

 switch on the far right of the top panel to remove the

program audio from the Main Output.  The effects will still be feeding the output,
without any “dry” signal mixed in.
