GIG-202 Tab FX Hall The Hall Reverb simulates the reverberation that occurs when sound is recorded in medium to large-sized concert halls. Use the Hall Reverb to give your mix a lush, three-dimensional quality that will make your performance sound larger than life. The PreDelay rotary controls the amount of time before the reverberation is heard following the source signal. Decay controls the amount of time it takes for the reverb to dissipate.
GIG-202 Tab Delay This Delay provides the control of the delay (echo) time. The delayed signal is fed back into the Delay line by the Decay rotary, thus creating Delay repeats. Tap the [TAP]Enter (38) button, or touch the Time wheel and turn the Encoder (36) to change the basic Delay time. The maximum tap time is 1200ms. Change the value of the Decay rotary to change the amount of signal fed back into the Delay line. A 99% setting will loop the Delay line.

GIG-202 Tab Installation and connection At this point you are in a position to successfully operate your GIG-202 Tab Mixing Console. However, we advise you to carefully read the following section to be a real master of your own mixer. Not paying enough attention to the input signal level, to the routing of the signal and the assignment of the signal will result in unwanted distortion, a corrupted signal or no sound at all.
GIG-202 Tab Connection Cables Take care of your cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots and twists when coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability. Periodically check your cables. A great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges, etc.) are caused entirely by using unsuitable or faulty cables.
