FX Sends

Essentials

What you'll learn

• Built-in reverb and delay sends (always available)
• Custom effects via Stagebox for advanced routing
• Per-channel send levels for individual control
• Send vs insert: sends create parallel processing, inserts process the entire signal

Reverb (Built-in)

Each mixer channel has access to a built-in reverb effect that is always available and does not require patching. It adds spaciousness and depth to your sound. On the Stagebox this is a reverb strip, not a device you drag in from the device browser.

Send & Filter	Send and filter module for level and frequency control (see Gain & Filter).
Room Size	Controls the size of the reverb space (0-100%).
Pre Delay	Sets the delay before the reverb starts (8-500ms).
Damp	Controls the damping/high-frequency rolloff of the reverb (0-100%).
Volume & Pan	Controls the output level and stereo positioning of the reverb effect (see Volume & Pan).

Delay (Built-in)

Each mixer channel has access to a built-in delay effect that is always available and does not require patching. It creates echo and rhythmic effects. On the Stagebox this is a delay strip, not a device you drag in from the device browser.

Send & Filter	Send and filter module for level and frequency control (see Gain & Filter).
Feedback	Controls how much of the delayed signal is fed back (0-100%).
Steps	Sets the number of delay steps (1-7).
Length	Sets the delay timing: 1/16, 1/8T (triplet), or 1/8.
Volume & Pan	Controls the output level and stereo positioning of the delay (see Volume & Pan).

Custom FX

In addition to built-in effects, you can add external effects:

Send & Filter	Send and filter module for level and frequency control (see Gain & Filter).
FX Chain	Preview of the effect chain as configured in the Stagebox.
Volume & Pan	Controls the output level and stereo positioning of the effect (see Volume & Pan).

Examples

Creating Space

Reverb	• Add room reverb to vocals for presence. • Use hall reverb on drums for size. • Apply plate reverb to guitars for smoothness.
Delay	• Sync delay to tempo for rhythmic effects. • Use ping-pong delay for stereo width. • Apply filtered delay for creative textures.

Dynamic Effects

Compression	• Use custom compressors for character. • Apply parallel compression for punch. • Add multiband compression for control.
EQ	• Use custom EQ for specific character. • Apply surgical EQ for problem solving. • Add harmonic EQ for warmth.

Creative Processing

Modulation	• Add chorus for width and movement. • Use flanger for sweeping effects. • Apply phaser for psychedelic sounds.
Distortion	• Add subtle saturation for warmth. • Use overdrive for character. • Apply distortion for aggressive sounds.
