[. . . ] These post-distortion EQ parameters have a more dramatic effect on the overall tone than the pre-distortion parameters. The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access these POST EQ parameters: BASS LVL The post-BASS LEVEL parameter allows you to cut or boost the low frequencies by 15dB after the distortion stage. The post-BASS FREQUENCY parameter allows you to select a center frequency between 63Hz and 500Hz to be cut or boosted by the post-BASS LEVEL parameter. The post-BASS BANDWIDTH parameter determines (in octaves) the width of the selected bass band. The post-MID LEVEL parameter allows you to cut or boost the mid-band frequencies by 15dB after the distortion stage. The post-MID FREQUENCY parameter allows you to select a mid-band center frequency between 250Hz and 2kHz to be cut or boosted via the post-MID LEVEL parameter. The post-MID BANDWIDTH parameter determines (in octaves) the width of the selected mid-band. The post-TREBLE LEVEL parameter allows you to cut or boost the high-band frequencies by 15dB after the distortion stage. The post-TREBLE FREQUENCY parameter allows you to select a high-band center frequency between 1kHz and 8kHz to be cut or boosted via the post-TREBLE LEVEL parameter. The post-TREBLE BANDWIDTH parameter determines (in octaves) the width of the selected high band. The post-PRESENCE LEVEL parameter allows you to cut or boost another high-band frequency by 15dB after the distortion stage. The post-PRESENCE FREQUENCY parameter allows you to select a high-band center frequency between 2kHz and 8kHz to be cut or boosted via the post-PRESENCE LEVEL parameter. Phase shifting involves splitting the input signal into two signals, then shifting the phase of different frequencies of one signal and mixing it back with the original signal. The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access these PHASER parameters: PHASER I/O The PHASER IN/OUT parameter determines whether the Phaser is active for the current preset. The DEPTH parameter determines the modulation depth of the phase shift effect. Higher parameter settings result in the sweep of the filtering effect occurring over a wider frequency range. The RATE parameter determines the speed at which the phase shifted signal is modulated. The RESONANCE parameter adds feedback to the Phaser so that it has a more pronounced effect. The STAGES parameter determines how many stages of phase shift are to be active. A parameter setting of "4" produces a result similar to a vintage Phase 90, while a setting of "6" emulates other phaser pedals. DEPTH RATE RESONANCE STAGES 22 FLANGER Function The FLANGER function is available only in configurations displaying "FLAN" in the configuration title. Flanging involves splitting the input signal into at least two individual delayed signals (Voice 1 and voice 2), then modulating these delayed signals so that, when summed back with the direct signal, phase cancellations will occur at some frequencies while peaks in the response will occur at others. The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access these FLANGER parameters: LEVEL 1 The LEVEL 1 parameter determines the volume of Voice 1 relative to Voice 2. Tip: Keep the settings of these levels high and use the DIR/EFF mix parameter in the Mixer function to control the overall amount of flanged signal. PAN 1 DEPTH 1 The PAN 1 parameter allows you to pan Voice 1 to the left or right channel. Lower DEPTH settings produce more subtle effects, while higher settings will result in a more drastic effect. The RATE 1 parameter determines the speed at which Voice 1 is modulated. [. . . ] After the All Restore process is completed, the display should read "ERRORS 0". This is the number of bytes that the Chameleon found that did not initialize properly. Any number of errors other than "0" ERRORS 0 means that the Chameleon may not have initialized properly and the process should be repeated. The Chameleon will remain in this condition until the FUNCTION SELECT control is turned to exit the Factory Restore function. [. . . ]
