TS-12 Musician’s Manual Section 7 — Effect Parameters
41
68 FLNG- -CMP- -DIST + REV
A screaming guitar-and-amp simulator that features not only compression, distortion, and
reverb, but flanging and EQ as well. FX-1 routes the signal through each of these effect
processors, while FX-2 is used for reverb only.

COMPRESSOR THRESH Range: 00 to 99
Controls the threshold level for the compressor. As the input signal dies away below the
threshold, the compressor will increase the gain of the system, causing feedback to increase as
well. Normal compression is “72.”
FLANGE RATE Range: 00 to 99
Controls the rate of modulation of the notches due to the flanger effect. A setting of 00 effectively
turns the flanger off.
DIST INPUT and OUTPUT Ranges: 00 to 99
Control the levels going into and coming out of the distortion effect. For more distortion, use a
high input level and turn the output level down to keep the volume under control. For less
distortion, use a low input level and a higher output level.
FILTER - LOW FC/HIGH FC Ranges: 00 to 99
The LOW FC parameter filters out high frequencies after the distortion signal path. The lower the
value, the less high frequencies pass through. The HIGH FC parameter filters out low frequencies
after the distortion signal path. The higher the value, the less low frequencies pass through.
DECAY TIME Range: 0.20 to 100.0 msec
Controls the amount of time it takes for the reverberation to decay to a low level (-60 dB) after the
input signal stops.
HF - DAMPING Range: 00 to 99
Controls the rate of attenuation of high frequencies in the decay of the reverberation. As natural
reverb decays, some high frequencies tend to get absorbed by the environment. Increasing the
value of this parameter will filter out increasing amounts of high-frequency energy.
FEEDBACK Range: -99 to +99
Controls the amount of signal applied from the output of the reverb back into the input of the
compressor. The sign of the value determines the polarity of the feedback.
Note: Since the feedback level is taken from FX-1, if the Effect Mix for FX-1 is set to 00 or a low value,
feedback will have little or no consequence. Also, it is important to note that since the signal is
being taken from the reverb, which is also fed by FX-2, voices sent to FX-2 will enter the feedback
loop along with the FX-1 signals.
