BLUE has two sets of HQ effects, which can be used in parallel or serial mode (by clicking on the mode button). Each effect has a default preset, so can be used straight away and if you move between different effects the settings are remembered, so if you go back to that effect the settings are recalled.
For the following we will describe the controls for FX A, they are the same for FX B.
Type of effect, these are None (Bypass), Mono Delay , Stereo Delay , Chorus , Flanger, Phaser, Distort , Low-Fi , Stereo Widener, Reverb, Comb, Gator, Speaker Simulator, Wah/Delay, Autopan, Chorus/Delay, Waveshaper, Ensemble and Compressor.
Mix between the dry and the output after passing through the effect.
FX pan position, either from left only, to center to right only.
This bypasses the current BLUE FX-A or FX-B effect. Turning bypass off returns it back into to the original FX
Allows you to load, save, copy, paste, clear, swap, randomize and undo fx presets.
A mono tempo based delay, great for making rhythmic grooves. For instance the 1/8* (1/8 dotted) is nice for all kinds of arpeggiator or lead sounds. To make the sound a bit spacey, modulation of the length is possible which makes the delay swirl.

The Comb Filter effect uses two joined comb filters where the output of one is feed back into the other one. Comb filters are very short delay and have a frequency which determines the length of this delay.
The gator uses a 16 step sequencer to alter the volume of the sound to give a 'trancegate' type effect. Basically it is a sequencer controlled audio gate.
Note: FX A/B Mix sets how much of the Gator FX is added. With the Gator FX it is wise to fully open the Mix control knob (wet).
This is an amp simulator. Through DSP functions several speaker types are simulated. Great for creating edgy sounds
Note: with the Amp simulator FX it is recommended to fully open the Mix control knob (wet).
This effect produces a wahwah type effect by running the sound through a lowpass-filter that's frequency is changed over time. There is a built in delay which adds delays to the sound.
Autopan pans the sound between the left and right speakers.
This is a combined chorus / delay. Specially developed in case you want to use another effect in combination with Chorus without losing a delay function.
The waveshaper effect shapes the in-going sound to a kind of distorted version of it. It is then passed through a low pass filter that's frequency is changed over time by a tempo based LFO.
This effect uses 6 choruses, each having its own setting, to give the effect of several copies of the sound playing at once.
The compressor is an audio effect that changes the dynamic range and response of a signal.
Note: FX Mix sets how much of the Compressor FX is added. With the Compressor FX it is wise to fully open the Mix control knob (wet).
