Using the HS-5
Applying Eects
Each section of the HS-5 provides reverb to add reverberation to your vocal or performance, as well as
eects for guitar, bass, and vocal.
Applying Reverb
Adding reverb to your vocal or instrumental performance makes the sound smoother and improves the
overall balance of your performance.
* If you add excessive reverb, your vocal or instrumental performance can become buried in the
reverberation, making it indistinct.
Start by applying only a small amount of reverberation, and make adjustments as needed.
