Details: TREMOLO
If the EQ On/Off setting is turned off on the FX ON/OFF Edit Row (just above the
MAIN Row), the Graphic EQ will have no effect. If you adjust any of the Graphic EQ
settings while the Graphic EQ is off, the Graphic EQ will be turned on for you.
TREMOLO
You control the Tremolo from the TREMOLO/CAB Edit Row (sixth one from the
top). Remember that the available options for the Tremolo Type are listed in the
Option List (15 ) at the right side of the AX2 front panel.
Tremolo is a periodic �uctuation in loudness; itOs like turning a volume knob up and
down over and over again to make the sound output Opulse.� Mono Tremolo controls
both left and right channels of the AX2 at once to give you this Opulsing� of volume.
Stereo Tremolo controls each channel separately, so that the left gets quieter as the
6Y10right gets louder, and vice-versa. This can give the same affect as an automatic panner.
1. Mono � Tremolo Type 1 is Mono: this is the classic guitar ampliŢer Tremolo setup.
The AX2 Tremolo Depth is full range � you can crank it up to max and the volume
will go from full on to full off. The tremolo circuitry built into other guitar ampliŢers
generally is more limited in the available depth � try a setting of 70 or less for a classic
Fender tremolo sound, for instance.
2. Stereo 90! and 180! � Tremolo Type 1 & 2 are Stereo 90! and Stereo 180!. As we
said earlier, with the Stereo Tremolo, the left and right channels of the AX2 will be
changing volume with each other out of sync. The simpler of these setups is Stereo
180! where the tremolo waves for the two channels are 180 degrees Oout of phase�
with each other. If you ever took Geometry in school, you may be hip to the whole
degrees thing and what they mean for signals being in sync or not. The simple
explanation is that at 180!, the left and right channel volumes are moving exactly
opposite to each other. So when one is turning up, the other is turning down. This
gives you just the same kind of effect as an auto-panner.
At 90! the left and right channels are only half way out of phase with each other, so
instead of the tremolo waves being directly opposite to each other in effect, one is
lagging behind the other a bit. This gives you an effect sort of halfway between
standard Tremolo and an auto-panner. |
