The DSP Digital Effects Modules are designed for use in musical instrument amplification and mixing consoles, these high quality products consist of PCB assemblies incorporating surface mounted components including custom designed CMOS LSI digital processors.  

A number of programming methods are available as standard to simplify operation. These include programming from a PC utilising the supplied RC1 software which allows all characteristics to be fully programmable in real time and shown on screen and also via an Alpha-Numerical display using rotary encoders, momentary push button switches or potentiometers. Programming and control software is included with each purchase and a demonstration of the software is available prior to purchase for evaluation of the range of controls functions.
