ZED's effects are divided into four types: tap tempo delays, short reverbs, long reverbs and modulation. They are controlled by three buttons for easy navigation and editing, allowing the parameters of each effect to be quickly 'dialed-in' to, for instance, pinpoint the ideal delay time or amount of reverb.
"Much like the ZED range's build and construction, Allen & Heath's approach to the effects was with professional standards and quality in mind. ZED effects are designed by the same R&D team that writes algorithms for our large digital pro-touring mixers. They are the only mixers on the market to have integrated custom effects of this quality," explains R&D manager, Mike Griffin. "We've designed them with the amateur or semi-pro artist, who wants great quality effects for their live performance or recording without the need for yet another piece of equipment in their set up."
