02Four-stage Quad Delay with stereo distribution and internal modulation
03Twin Delay with independent left/right channel control and stereo rhythmic effects
04Three compressor models (VC 160, VC 2A, VC 76) modeling 1960s–1970s hardware

Things to Try

  • 01In Bass Pro, move the graphic EQ sliders to boost or cut the nine specific frequency bands (40 Hz, 90 Hz, 180 Hz, 300 Hz, 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 4 kHz, 10 kHz) by up to ±12 dB, then use the Volume control to offset the overall level by up to ±8–10 dB
  • 02In Quad Delay, increase Feedback to the right to create more delay repetitions, then adjust Rate and Depth to add modulation; deactivate Sync Delays for less phase-aligned, more complex results
  • 03In Replika Shimmer, toggle Shimmer Routing to on so pitch shifting is applied in the delay's feedback loop, creating progressive pitch cascades with each repeat
  • 04In Driver, switch Mode to Notch and increase Env (Freq) from the envelope follower to create a ducking effect on the filter center frequency
