1.1 Delay
Delay
Controls:
DELAY: changes the length of the delay between each echo, from 1
ms to 2000 ms.
FBK: changes the amount of time that the echo repeats, from 0% to
100%.
LEVEL: sets the level of the effected (or wet) sound, from 0 to 10.
BPM SYNC: allows the effect to synchronize to the project tempo.
EchoMan
Controls:
DELAY: changes the length of the delay between each echo, from 25
ms to 500 ms.
FEEDBACK: changes the amount of time that the echo repeats, from
0% to 100%.
BLEND: mixes the amount of dry signal with the effected signal, from
0% (dry) to 100% (effected).
CH/VIB: sets the amount of Chorus/Vibrato effect added to the
effected sound, from 0% to 100%.
CHORUS VIBRATO: changes whether chorus or vibrato can be added
to the effect.
BPM SYNC: allows the effect to synchronize to the project tempo.
TapDelay
This creative delay effect unit can be used to create interesting and unusual
delay effects thanks to the 8 totally independent taps. You can create groov-
ing rhythm patterns by combining more taps with a specific time signature,
and you can mix this up with psychedelic reverse tape effects you are able
to set for each tap.
The TapDelay is actually 8 delays in one single unit, and it is possible to set
time, timbre, and level for each of them. In addition, you can globally control
with single knobs parameters for all the 8 taps simultaneously, like time,
dry/wet mix and feedback amount.
Controls:
TIME: globally shifts the delay time of all the 8 taps. This is a relative
control, when set at the center position (1x) it does not alter the time
that has been setup on each Tap, when set to minimum (0.25x) it
divides all times by four and when set to max (4x) it multiply all times
by four. Use it to globally change the delay tempo without changing
the relations between all taps.
MIX: globally adjust the effect mix between the Dry signal and all
the 8 delay taps.
FEEDBACK: globally adjust the amount of feedback the delay will
have. When set at maximum, the delay will be sustaining itself.
TAP: use these buttons to select which one among the 8 delay taps
youre going to edit with next controls
LEVEL: sets the audio level for the selected delay tap.
TIME: sets the delay time for the selected tap. It can be shown in
milliseconds or in musical divisions, depending on the BPM Sync
switch position.
FILTER: sets the timbre for the selected delay tap, darker at minimum
and brighter at maximum.
REVERSE: enable this button to transform the selected delay tap from
normal to reverse. When set to reverse a delay tap will sound like a
reversed tape loop.
LINK: enable this button to make a changes to the above mentioned
parameters to apply to all the 8 taps at the same time.
BPM SYNC: allows the effect to synchronize to the project tempo.
1.2 Distortion
Crusher

Rezo
A unique effect that can add synth-like drones and sustaining resonances to
your parts. Make your guitar sound like a sitar or like a synth-drone to cre-
ate sonic resonances to sing on and control the notes with your controller to
create arpeggios and steps while playing.
You have 4 resonating voices that can be tuned independently from note E0
to note B7, in half tone steps. For example, if you want to create a resonating
C Major chord, just set the first three voices to C3, E3 and G3.
By moving the All slider you can shift the recently created Chord without
changing the intervals between the voices.
You can set the desired voice note by note number or by frequency in Hz.
Controls:
Step Filter

Swell
This is an auto volume swell processor that can automatically create fan-
tastic swell effects while playing without any manual intervention. Use it
subtly to add groove to your rhythm parts or use it with deeper settings to
create dreaming pads or string-like sounds.
Controls:
DEPTH: sets the depth of the volume swell, in dB. By default the depth
is at max position, meaning that the volume will start from silence. By
lowering this control youll make the effect to start the swell phase
from a level which is higher than silence, up to min position that
makes the effect to have no action.
SENS: this control sets the sensitivity for the Swell to recognize a
new note or chord and therefore start a new Swell cycle. Set it higher
if you want the Swell cycle to start even at the beginning of softer
passages, or set it lower if you want the Swell cycle to only start for
louder strikes.
TIME: sets the length of the Swell cycle. During the Swell cycle (time
the swell takes to open the power LED becomes red (it is normally
green). This helps to immediately recognize when the swell is trig-
gered.
BPM SYNC: allows the effect to synchronize to the project tempo mak-
ing the swell time to be specified in musical figures.
Acoustic Sim
Turn your electric guitar into an acoustic guitar with the Acoustic Sim! Mix
three guitar body styles with three types of top end to dial in your acoustic
sound. Equalize the result with a 2-band post EQ.

2.1 Clean
This is a model of the clean channel from a popular and sought after
American amplifier. The signature tone can be heard on many albums and
many stages around the world. Experience a sparkling clean with the capa-
bility for a touch of crunch when cranked up.
This beautiful amp is crystal clear but can also deliver edgy sounds by push-
ing the Master volume, and can deliver a nice preamp crunch tone when
Rhythm 2 is engaged.
This amp is extremely versatile you can really get many types of clean or
edgy tones from its incredibly flexible preamplifier. By selecting two differ-
ent preamp shapes (Rhythm 2), and by adapting the tone with the Shift and
Deep switches, you can really shape your clean/edgy sound in almost all
possible ways. Add the final 5 band graphic EQ and the tonal possibilities
are really wide. But be careful, this is not a set and forget amp. Being it
extremely versatile it can of course be set to a tone that could be totally far
from what is needed on that part. It needs a degree of experimentation and
experience before you can really master it!
Controls:
VOLUME: sets the volume of the clean preamp. Push it closer to 10 for
an edgy sound that starts to crunch.
BRIGHT: boosts brilliance of the preamp, especially when the Volume
control is kept low.
TREBLE: sets the amount of high frequencies on the sound.

2.3 Lead
This amp is extremely versatile, you can really get almost any type of sound
from its incredibly flexible preamplifier. By calibrating the various gain
stages (Volume -> Lead Drive -> Master), by selecting two different preamp
shapes (Rhythm 2), and by adapting the tone with the SHIFT switches, you
can really shape your driven sound in almost all possible ways. Add the
final 5 band graphic EQ and the tonal possibilities are really endless. But be
careful, this is not a set and forget amp. Being it extremely versatile it can
of course be set to a tone that could be totally far from what is needed on
that part. It needs a degree of experimentation and experience before you
can really master it!
Controls:
LEAD DRIVE: sets the amount of gain of the lead stage. Increase this
to have more sustaining distortion and decrease it to get a more edgy
and crunchy type of distortion.
VOLUME: sets the gain of the initial stage. This is the gain that comes
before all others in the amp signal path.
MASTER: sets the power amp level. This is the latest level in the amp
signal path. Setting high gains in the preamp (Volume and Lead
Drive) and also setting Master to a very high level can result in an
overly pushed sound that could be difficult to obtain a good sound.
Keep this at high levels only if Volume and Lead drive are not so high.
TREBLE: sets the amount of high frequencies on the sound.

Brit 8000
The new Brit 8000 is based upon the early 80s JCM800, the amp that
although most think of the Plexis as the defining tone of a pushed Marshall,
in reality its the JCM800 that people are hearing. The JCM800 was the first
departure from the Plexi format designed for players who desired a hotter
front end and more control over the overall output volume. The result? More
preamp overdrive and crunch at controllable volumes.

designed for versatility with channel 1 voiced from clean to low level lead
gain when cranked, and channel 2 voiced with enough gain to provide fear-
some lead tones at low gain to screaming solo tones at high gain.

first Marshall to feature an output power section that could be switched from
full to 1/2 power, thus providing that JCM800 tone at reasonable volumes.
The Brit Silver faithfully recreates the original Silver Jubilee down to every
minute detail for hyper-real authentic Marshall tone.

Rounding out the new Brit series of amps is a preamp model based on the
Marshall JMP-1 valve preamp. The JMP-1 was Marshalls first foray into the
world of MIDI control with Marshall tone. It allows players to sculpt the
tones they want, then save those tone presets for recall by MIDI control at
any time. Its one of the most simple preamps, very straight forward. It has
the staple Marshall controls like Volume, Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble and
Presence. It features a bass shift, 2 overdrive channels, and 2 clean channels.
For its ease of use and its ready to go sound character, it quickly became
one of the most iconic Guitar preamps of the era. Almost 90% of the pro
players at the time had a JMP-1 in their rack of toys.

Red Pig
This gem from the 60s is based on the Marshall Major 200 Pig (as it was
nicknamed) made famous by players like Ritchie Blackmore, Jimmy Page, Joe
Perry and at times Stevie Ray Vaughan. It was originally produced for play-
ers who needed more stage volume and sported a full 200 watts powered
by KT88 power tubes. Nicknamed the Pig because it was a full 3 deeper
than Marshalls of the day to accommodate the larger transformers, it quickly
became the favorite of larger venue players.

Digital Delay
This advanced delay modeled effect can add a variety of depth to the sound,
by providing five different delay modes. The delay can also be synched to the
host tempo providing even more flexibility.
Controls:
MODE: sets the output mode of the Delay effect; Stereo, Left/Right,
Mono, Left/Center/Right, and Doubler.
DELAY TIME: sets the time between the echoes, from 1 ms to 2000 ms.
BPM SYNC: allows the effect to synchronize to the project tempo and
changes the Rate control to beat values.
FEEDBACK: changes the amount of time that the delay repeats, from
0% to 100%.
FILTER: sets the low pass filter for the delay effect, from 200 Hz to
20 kHz. When set to mid values it gives a nice warmth to the delay
timbre.
MIX: adjusts the amount of wet sound with the dry sound, from 0%
to 100%.
OUT LEVEL: sets the output level of the effect, from -15 dB to +15 dB.
Digital Reverb
Controls:
DECAY TIME: sets the length of the reverb, from 0.60 seconds to 14.00
seconds.
DENSITY: sets the number of reflections generated by the reverb,
from 0 to 99.
COLOUR: sets the reverb coloration from dark to light, from 2 kHz to
20 kHz.
MIX: adjusts the amount of wet sound with the dry sound, from 0%
to 100%.
OUT LEVEL: sets the output level of the effect, from -15 dB to +15 dB.
Tap Delay
This creative delay effect unit can be used to create interesting and unusual
delay effects thanks to the 8 totally independent taps. You can create groov-
ing rhythm patterns by combining more taps with a specific time signature,
and you can mix this up with psychedelic reverse tape effects you are able
to set for each tap.
The TapDelay is actually 8 delays in one single unit, and it allows you to set
time, timbre and level for each one of these units. In addition, you can glob-
ally control with single knobs parameters for all the 8 taps at the same time,
like time, dry/wet mix and feedback amount.
Controls:
TIME: globally shifts the delay time of all the 8 taps. This is a relative
control that works in this way:
When set at the center position (1x) it does not alter the time that
has been setup on each tap.
When set to minimum (0.25x) it divides all times by four.
When set to max (4x) it multiply all times by four.
Use it to globally change the delay tempo without changing the rela-
tions between all taps.
MIX: globally adjust the effect mix between the Dry signal and all
the 8 delay taps.
FEEDBACK: globally adjust the amount of feedback the delay will
have. When set at maximum, the delay with be sustaining itself.
TAP: use these buttons to select which one among the 8 delay taps
youre going to edit with next controls.
LEVEL: sets the audio level for the selected delay tap.
TIME: sets the delay time for the selected tap. It can be shown in
milliseconds or in musical divisions, depending on the BPM Sync
switch position.
TAPS DISPLAY: shows each Tap as a vertical bar. The horizontal
position of the bar represent the delay time, the height of the bar
represent the audio level.
FILTER: sets the timbre for the selected delay tap, darker at minimum
and brighter at maximum.
REVERSE: enable this button to transform the selected delay tap from
normal to reverse. When set to reverse a delay tap will sound like a
reversed tape loop.
LINK: enable this button to make a change you do on the above men-
tioned parameters to apply to all the 8 taps at the same time.
BPM SYNC: allows the effect to synchronize to the project tempo.

5.3 Filter
Rezo
This rack model is a unique effect that can add synth-like drones and sus-
taining resonances to your parts. Make your guitar sound like a sitar or like a
synth-drone to create sonic resonances to sing on and control the notes with
your controller to create arpeggios and steps while playing.
You have 4 resonating voices that can be tuned independently from note E0
to note B7, in half tone steps. For example, if you want to create a resonating
C Major chord, just set the first three voices to C3, E3 and G3.
By moving the All slider you can shift the recently created Chord without
changing the intervals between the voices.
You can set the desired voice note by note number of by frequency in Hz.
Step Filter
This is a powerful and deep beat sync filter effect. You will be able to apply
