Once changes have been made to a program, the COMPARE button can be pressed to compare the edited program with the original. The bottom line of the display is reserved for the value of the parameter, and again, limited use of abbreviations helps to shorten the learning curve. As you step through the various parameters, the entire top line of the display is dedicated to describing the parameter so there is limited use of abbreviations which tend to confuse the novice effects editor. The UP/DOWN PARAMETER buttons increase or decrease that parameter's value accordingly. The LEFT/RIGHT buttons are used to select the parameter you wish to edit. There are two UP/DOWN PARAMETER buttons and two LEFT/RIGHT PARAMETER buttons. Similarly, separate PARAMETER buttons are dedicated to program editing. The two PROGRAM UP/DOWN buttons mentioned above are dedicated to program selection. Now, should you want to edit the program, that too is quick and simple. The other two knobs next to the MIX control are INPUT and OUTPUT level controls. When you find one you like, it's immediately on line and you don't have to enter any "edit" mode to adjust the mix. If you're looking for an effect for a voice track, let's say, just set the MIX level to 12 o'clock (or 50%) and start moving through the different programs as you input the voice track. If you're the type that doesn't care to get into the parameters of an effect and shop around for the MIX parameter before you make an adjustment, you'll appreciate the MIX control knob on the right side of the front panel. In radio production, probably the most used parameter of an effects box is the wet to dry MIX parameter. PROGRAM UP/DOWN buttons scroll through the 256 memory slots in the unit, and if you hold the UP or DOWN button in, the unit shifts into a "fast scroll" mode for quick selection of any program (or adjustment of any parameter). When a program is selected, the 2-line, 16-character per line LCD display shows the program title on the top line and the effect configuration in use on the bottom line. Aside from its clean sound and numerous useable presets, perhaps the most impressive aspect of the 256XL is its ease of operation. You get reverb effects, chorusing/flanging, parametric EQ, graphic EQ, and a not too often seen 4-tap delay.

Even so, as many of you know, these little musician's boxes are jam packed with high quality effects perfectly suited for radio production with price tags that don't put your GM into cardiac arrest. The DigiTech DSP-256XL falls into that category of the affordable, yet powerful effects boxes that, like most under $500, are designed for the musician.
This month's Test Drive puts us in the driver's seat of yet another effects box. Item: 304101622588 Digitech DSP 256XL Multi Effects Processor.
