Inspired by a well-loved solid-state 70s compressor pedal, Gray Comp can add singing sustain to leads or lend power and girth to chunky rhythm guitar parts.

Para EQ
This effect provides a high-quality 4-band EQ, with adjustable gain, frequency, Q (bandwidth), and output for each band. The Low and High bands let you switch between the following functions:

Graphic EQ
Useful for simple frequency sculpting, a good Graphic EQ can find a place in almost any pedalboard. Graphic EQ can wring a variety of tones out of other pedals (such as when placed before Distortion effects). The EQ can also be used as a signal booster when positioned in front of amps.

Dyn Delay
This stereo delay effect is based on the Air Dynamic Delay plug-in that comes with Avid’s Pro Tools recording software. A powerful effect, Dyn delay can be synchronized to Rig or Session tempo and offers an envelope follower, that lets you modulate various parameters, based on the amplitude envelope of the incoming signal. This effect includes the following controls:
BBD Delay
When “bucket brigade” analog delays arrived in the mid-70s, their relatively small size and solid-state reliability made them a godsend to tape loop-addled guitarists. It went on to become a classic of its own, with a smooth, round delay sound and a Chorus-Vibrato mode that let it double as a modulation effect.
Tape Echo
Inspired by the ultimate vintage solid state tape echo unit, Tape Echo supplies supple, crunchy echoes, and can, with a flick of the wrist, can be pushed into swells of wild self-oscillation, each repeat more murky, dusty, and gritty than the next. A classic.
Eleven Reverb
A smooth, clean digital reverb, Eleven SR is based on the popular Reverb One Pro Tools plug-in from Avid.
Spring Reverb
Blackpanel Spring Reverb was inspired by a classic outboard tube-driven spring reverb. It can add a surfy twang and dark, warm ambiance to your signal.

Air Flanger
Sync
When Sync is enabled, the Flanger Rate control synchronizes to the HR tempo.
The Sync button is lit when it is enabled.
Rate
When Sync is enabled, the Rate control lets you select a rhythmic subdivision or multiple of the beat for the Flanger Modulation Rate.
When Sync is disabled, the Rate control lets you the modulation rate in independently of the HR tempo.
Depth
The Depth control lets you adjust the amount of modulation applied to the Delay time.
Feedback
The Feedback control lets you adjust the amount of delay feedback for the Flanger. At 0%, the delay repeats only once. At +/–100%, the Flanger feeds back on itself.
Mix
The Mix control lets you balance the amount of dry signal with the amount of wet (flanged) signal. At 50%, there are equal amounts of dry and wet signal. At 0%, the output is all dry and at 100% it is all wet. The Mix control can be used to create an "infinite phaser" effect between the dry and shifted signals, which is always rising or always falling (depending on the direction of shift)
Air filter
The Vintage Filter plug-in provides a variety of controls for adjusting plug-in parameters.
Cutoff
The Cutoff control lets you adjust the Cutoff frequency (20.0 Hz to 20.0 kHz) of the filter.
Resonance
The Resonance control lets you adjust the amount filter Resonance (0–100%). The filter can go
into self-oscillation at high values creating a sine wave-like overtone at the Cutoff frequency.
Fat
The Fat control lets you adjust the amount of overdrive in the resonant peak. At lower settings
the signal gets quieter at high Resonance settings for clean distortion. At higher settings the
signal is over-driven at high resonance settings.
Mode
Select one of the following options for the type of filter:
• LP24: Provides a low pass filter with a 24 dB cutoff.
• LP18: Provides a low pass filter with a 18 dB cutoff.
• LP12: Provides a low pass filter with a 12 dB cutoff.
• BP: Provides a band pass filter.
• HP: Provides a high pass filter.
OutputThe Output control lets you lower the Output level from 0.0 dB to –INF dB.
Rotary
Inspired by the rotating speaker cabinets that made classic tonewheel organs roar, Roto Speaker offers added motion and vintage grit.
Orange Phaser
Don’t let that single knob fool you! Inspired by a ubiquitous 70s analog phaser pedal, Orange Phaser offers a deep, warm phasing effect that ranges from a slow harmonic sweep to out-of-control wobbles.
Vibe Phaser
The psychedelic-era phaser that inspired our Vibe Phaser effect was traditionally paired with an expression pedal that could be used to vary the rate of pitch modulation over time. Like the C1, you can choose to run it as a Chorus, with the modulated and dry signals mixed together, or in Vibrato mode, which leaves the pitch-modulated signal alone, with rippling, disorienting effects.
Multi-Chorus
This modulation effect is based on the Air Multi- Chorus plug-in that comes with Avid’s Pro Tools recording software. It offers the ability to stack multiple layers of chorusing, for thick, swirling sound.
- Rate - Controls the rate of the internal modulating LFO.
- Sync - Controls synchronization of the internal LFO to Rig or Pro Tools Session tempo. Ranges from OFF (no sync, set rate with Rate control) to a variety of rhythmic note values.
- Depth - Controls the amount of delay time modulation caused by the internal LFO.
- Pre-Delay - Sets the amount of time between an incoming transient signal and the start of modulation.
- Mix - Sets the wet/dry balance of the effect. Tri/Sine Switch Sets the waveform of the internal LFO to either a triangle or sine wave.
- Voices - Sets the number of layered chorus voices in the effect.
- Width - Controls the stereo width of the effect.
Based on the Avid’s Pro Tools Air Multi-Chorus plug-in
This modulation effect is based on the AIR Multi-Chorus plugin that comes with Pro Tools software. With it, you can stack multiple layers of chorusing to create a thick, swirling sound. The effect includes a number of controls to set the rate, width, depth, pre-delay, number of voices, and more, plus sync control to your Rig or Pro Tools Session tempo.
C1 Chorus/Vibrato
Based on a heavyweight late-70s analog chorus/vibrato pedal, CI Chorus/Vibrato offers warm, liquid modulation effects. In Chorus mode, the signal is routed through a modulated short delay, which is mixed with the dry signal, creating a washy, doubled sound.
Flanger
Originating from the act of pressing on the flanges of tape reels, and becoming even more popular with the advent of analog pedals, the Flanger effect can be coaxed into bell-like resonant sweeps, or add a silky, shimmering sheen. This effect works well when positioned before or after the amplifier in the signal chain.
