SECTION 3 - EFFECTS AND PARAMETERS
ABOUT MODULES AND THE EFFECT CHARTS
The Quad 4's diverse selection of effect modules allows you to achieve nearly endless combinations of effects and
routings. To accomplish that goal, we've supplied you with several different module types in an effects configuration.
The processing resources are divided one of four ways. Fig. 3-1 below uses pies to represent the possible resource
division combination of the S-DISC II.
Figure 3-1 The Resource Pies
Each section of the pies represents a different size module in an effects configuration. In the diagram, there are four
different slice sizes: quarter, half, 3/4 and whole. Likewise, the module sizes available in the Quad 4 are Quarter
(module type =
4th
), Half (module type =
HLF
), 3/4 (module type=
3
and Whole (module type =
FUL
). A FUL
module type offers effects with more flexibility and power than the HLF modules, and so on, but all sizes of FX
Modules feature very high quality effects, so you don’t have to worry if you need to divide the Quad 4 pie four
ways. For a complete list of these FX Types, see pg. 36. For a complete list of effect configurations, see pg. 37.
There are three basic types of FX modules: Mono, Dual, and Stereo. Fig 3-2 illustrates what the signals do as they
enter the Module. Although all three modules are shown with stereo inputs, they can still be used with a mono
source (such as input one of the Quad 4). The mono source would just be routed to both sides of the module’s
inputs. Notice that the Dual FX Module maintains stereo compatibility while the mono FX module always sums the
signals together.

DIGITAL AND ANALOG EFFECT LIST
A vast palette of Digital and Analog effects lies within the Quad 4, all of which are Studio quality. The following are
the Effects available: Reverbs, Choruses, Flangers, Phasers, Rotary Speaker Simulator, Tremolo, Auto-Panner, Pitch
Shifters, Detuners, Delays (Digital and Analog), Equalizers, Noise Gate, Compressor Envelope Filter, Vocoder, Vocal
Eliminator (for Karaoke) and Samplers.
ABOUT THE CHARTS
All the effects and parameters found in the Quad 4 are described in detail in the Effect charts that appear in the fol-
lowing pages. Each chart is preceded by brief descriptions of the effects functions and description. Module names
appear in the top left corner of the chart with a vertical column of check boxes extending directly below. If the box
is checked, the parameter appears in the module.
Two effect types will be missing from these charts: Mute and Thru. These two Effect Types have no parameters and
simply function as their names imply. The Mute type keeps all signals from passing through an Effect module while
the Thru type allows only the dry signals to pass through a module.
