6. Operating Format The MultiValve provides 128 stored sounds called presets. Any of the 128 presets can be called up at any time via the front panel PRESET control (used to both select and recall a preset). The root of each preset’s sound is its configuration. The MultiValve provides two main effect configurations—the Classic configuration and the Rotary configuration. Each configuration provides a different selection of available effects.

Functions and Parameter Descriptions MultiValve Functions and Parameter Descriptions Each MultiValve preset is divided into individual blocks called functions (such as "Mixer", "Reverb", etc.). Within each function is a set of controls which allow you to manipulate various aspects of that function. These controls are called parameters. The setting of each of the parameters determines the overall sound of each MultiValve preset.
Functions and Parameter Descriptions GLOBAL Function The first function displayed when turning the FUNCTION SELECT control is the Global function. The parameters provided in this function affect all presets (i.e. the settings stored for these parameters are the same for all presets).
Functions and Parameter Descriptions MIXER Function The next function displayed when turning the FUNCTION SELECT control is the Mixer function. The Mixer function parameters are included in all presets—regardless of which effects are active for the current preset - although the parameter values stored in this function are only for the currently recalled preset. This digital mixer allows you to control the signal levels pertaining to each preset’s configuration and stores those levels for each preset.
Functions and Parameter Descriptions TUBE MODE Function The Tube Mode function is accessible in all presets—regardless of the current configuration recalled. The Tube Mode function allows the input signal path to be routed through a high quality 12AX7 preamp tube to add a warm, vintage sound to the MultiValve effects used.
Functions and Parameter Descriptions HUSH Function The HUSH® function is accessible in all presets—regardless of the configuration currently recalled. HUSH is Hush Systems’ patented single-ended noise reduction system. The HUSH system contained in the MultiValve is a fully digital implementation of HUSH achieved through Digital Signal Processing (DSP), and is modeled after the latest HUSH design. The low level expander of the HUSH system operates like an electronic volume control.
Functions and Parameter Descriptions COMPRESSOR Function Compression is often used to maintain an even level when using clean tones, and is also used to increase sustain when using high gain distortion. The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following Compressor parameters: COMPRESR I/O The COMPRESSOR I/O parameter determines whether the compression circuit is active or bypassed for the current preset.
Functions and Parameter Descriptions EQ Function 20 The EQ function provides full parametric control and allows you shape the tone of the input signal before it reaches each of the effect blocks. The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following EQ parameters: EQ I/O The EQ I/O parameter determines whether the EQ circuit is active or bypassed for the current preset. BASS LVL The BASS LEVEL parameter allows you to cut or boost the low frequencies by up to 15dB.
Functions and Parameter Descriptions DELAY Function Delay provides a reproduction of the input signal, occurring at a prescribed time (usually expressed in milliseconds) following the input signal. The MultiValve provides two discrete delays (Delay 1 and Delay 2), each of which has its own set of parameters to determine its particular characteristics.
Functions and Parameter Descriptions SOURCE 2 This parameter is used to select whether the Source 2 input will be the VOICE 2 output from the previous effect in the signal chain or the direct signal. In configurations where there is no effect immediately preceding the delay, both Source 1 and Source 2 will be the direct signal. DLY HF DAMP The DELAY HIGH FREQUENCY DAMPING parameter controls the amount of high frequency content in the delayed and regenerated signals.
Functions and Parameter Descriptions REVERB Function ! Reverb is a multitude of echos spaced so close together that, to the human ear, seem as a single continuous sound. These echos gradually decrease in intensity until they are ultimately absorbed by the boundaries and obstacles within a room.
Functions and Parameter Descriptions TREMOLO Function 24 The Tremolo effect continuously varies the volume of the signal. The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following Tremolo parameters: TREMOLO I/O The TREMOLO I/O parameter determines whether the tremolo circuit is active or bypassed for the current preset. LOCATION The LOCATION parameter determines whether the Tremolo is located Pre-Reverb or Post-Reverb.
Functions and Parameter Descriptions PHASER Function Phase shifting involves splitting the input signal into two signals, then shifting the phase of different frequencies of one signal before mixing it back with the original signal. The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access each of the following Phaser parameters: PHASER I/O The PHASER I/O parameter determines whether the phase shift circuit is active or bypassed for the current preset.
Functions and Parameter Descriptions FLANGER Function Flanging splits the input signal into two individual delayed signals (Voice 1 and Voice 2), then modulating the delayed signals so that, when summed back with the direct signal, phase cancellations will occur at some frequencies while peaks in the response will occur at others.
Functions and Parameter Descriptions CHORUS Function The Chorus effect in the MultiValve is produced by detuning two delayed signals (Voice 1 and Voice 2), then modulating the detune effect so that the amount of pitch detune is constantly varying. Using different detune amounts, modulation rates, modulation depths and pan settings for each delayed signal will produce a greater perceived spaciousness.
Functions and Parameter Descriptions PITCH SHIFT Function Pitch Shifting is used to change the pitch of the input signal to produce a harmony note based on the input signal. The harmony voice may be of any fixed interval - up to one octave above the input signal to two octaves below - and is selected in 20-cent increments. Fine adjustment can be made in one cent (1/100th semitone) increments.
Functions and Parameter Descriptions PITCH SHIFT INTERVALS PARAMETER CORRESPONDING VALUE INTERVAL +1200 +1100 +1000 +900 +800 +700 +600 +500 +400 +300 +200 +100 0 -100 -200 -300 -400 -500 -600 -700 -800 -900 -1000 -1100 -1200 -1300 -1400 -1500 -1600 -1700 -1800 -1900 -2000 -2100 -2200 -2300 -2400 one octave Major 7th minor 7th Major 6th minor 6th perfect 5th diminished 5th perfect 4th Major 3rd minor 3rd Major 2nd minor 2nd Unison Major 7th minor 7th Major 6th minor 6th perfect 5th diminished 5th perfect
Functions and Parameter Descriptions AUTO PAN Function 30 The next function displayed when turning the FUNCTION SELECT control is the Auto Pan function. The Auto Pan effect auomatically pans between left and right when operating in stereo mode. (If operating in mono, the Auto Pan effect does not operate.
Functions and Parameter Descriptions ROTARY SPEAKER Function *For added versatility when using continuous control, the SLOW SPEED and FAST SPEED parameters cover the same range (0 to 100). Therefore, it is possible to have a SLOW setting which is faster than the FAST setting. The next function displayed when turning the FUNCTION SELECT control is the Rotary Speaker function. The Rotary Speaker effect simulates the classic rotating speaker popular with guitarists and keyboard players.
Functions and Parameter Descriptions SPEAKER SIMULATOR Function 32 The Speaker Simulator function provides a realistic approximation of a miked speaker cabinet for applications involving connecting the MultiValve directly to a mixing console, recording system or other full range system.
