6. MIXER Function

The next function displayed after turning the FUNCTION SELECT knob clockwise is the Mixer function.

The Mixer function parameters are included in all presets -- regardless of which conﬁguration is currently recalled

-- although the parameter values stored in this function are only for the currently recalled preset.

This digital mixer allows you to control most signal levels pertaining to each preset's conﬁguration and stores

these levels for each preset.

The PARAMETER SELECT knob will allow you to access these Mixer parameters:

The VOLUME parameter determines the overall signal level of the current preset.

The LEFT OUT LEVEL parameter allows you alter the level of the left channel output

of the current preset independent of the right channel.

The RIGHT OUT LEVEL parameter allows you alter the level of the right channel out

put of the current preset independent of the left channel.

The DIR/EFF MIX parameter is used to deﬁne the ratio of direct signal level to effect

(Chorus, Flange, Pitch Shift) signal level.

The DIRECT PAN parameter allows you to pan the direct signal to the left or right.

The DELAY LEVEL parameter determines the overall level of the delayed signal at the

output relative to the direct signal and other effect signals. This parameter can also be

accessed from the Delay function parameter list.

The REVERB LEVEL parameter determines the level of the reverb signal at the output

relative to the direct signal and other effect signals. This parameter can also be accessed

from the Reverb function parameter list.

The PREAMP function is accessible in all conﬁgurations. The preamp stage offers 4 channel choices ranging

from DEEP to high gain for maximum sustain and distortion.

The PARAMETER SELECT knob will allow you to access these PREAMP parameters:

6. PREAMP Function

The CHANNEL parameter chooses one of the four (4) PREAMP types: DEEP, NORM,

BRITE, DIST

The GAIN parameter determines the gain value in the distortion stage.

The VARIAC ADJUST parameter adjusts the level at which the preamp stage in the

UTOPIA B200 begins to distort. A Variac is a voltage attenuating device that plugs into

an AC wall outlet and adjusts the voltage level to any device which is plugged into it.

For years, many guitarists have plugged their ampliﬁer heads into a Variac and reduced

the voltage coming into the ampliﬁer from the AC wall outlet. This allows the ampli

ﬁer tubes to reach saturation at a lower input level and increases the gain produced. The

VARIAC ADJUST parameter operates in a similar manner as a conventional Variac --

where lowering the parameter value lowers the level at which saturation will take place.
