Reverb continued

• Pre-Dly (Pre-delay) 1-500

Pre-delay is the amount of time between your original 'dry' sound and when the Reverb effect can be heard. By adjusting

the amount Pre-delay it's possible to create a delay style effect, similar to shouting across a large valley to hear your own

echo!

• St Wdth (Stereo Wdth) 0-10

Stereo width spreads the Reverb sound across both speakers/ headphones. It creates a widening effect and can ﬁll out a

sound. When the St Wdth is set to 0 it's noticeable that the Reverb is placed in the middle of the stereo image, with a

spread of '10' spaced across both outputs.

• Pan (Left-Right)

Pan allows you to position the Reverb in either the Left or Right speaker (or headphone). This is useful when recording

or performing live by sending a 'Wet' signal to one output and a 'Dry' signal to the other.

PAN can also be used in conjunction with the PAN in the Instrument menu by routing the Chanter to one side (for

example Left) and the Drones to the other (for example Right). In this conﬁguration different amounts of Reverb can be

individually sent to either the Chanter or Drones.
