pedal or the expression pedal connected to the SUB CTL 1, 2/SUB
EXP jack.
ADV. COMP
(Advanced
Compressor)
This is an eect that produces a long sustain by evening out the
volume level of the input signal. You can also use it as a limiter to
suppress only the sound peaks and prevent distortion.
LIMITER The limiter attenuates loud input levels to prevent distortion.
SUB OD/DS This eect distorts the sound to create long sustain.
GRAPHIC EQ
(Graphic
Equalizer)
This adjusts the tone as a equalizer. You can adjust the sound
quality in ten bands.
PARAMETRIC
EQ
(Parametric
Equalizer)
Adjusts the tonal quality. You can adjust the sound quality in four
bands.
TONE MODIFY This changes the tone of the connected guitar.
GUITAR SIM
(Guitar
Simulator)
Simulation of the characteristics of particular guitar components
such as pickups and dierent guitar bodies allows you to switch
among a number of dierent guitar types all while using a single
guitar.
SLOW GEAR This produces a volume-swell eect (“violin-like” sound).
DEFRETTER This simulates a fretless guitar.
WAVE SYNTH This is a synth sound that processes the guitar input signal.
SITAR SIM.
(Sitar
Simulator)
This simulates the sound of the sitar.
OCTAVE This adds a note one octave lower, creating a richer sound.
PITCH SHIFTER
This eect changes the pitch of the original sound (up or down)
within a range of two octaves.
HARMONIST
Harmonist is an eect where the amount of shifting is adjusted
according to an analysis of the guitar input, allowing you to create
harmony based on diatonic scales.
SOUND HOLD
You can have sound played on the guitar be held continuously.
This eect allows you to perform the melody in the upper registers
while holding a note in the lower registers.
AC. PROCES-
SOR
(Acoustic
Processor)
This processor allows you to change the sound produced by the
pickup on an acoustic electric guitar, creating a richer sound
similar to that obtained with a microphone placed close to the
guitar.
PHASER
By adding varied-phase portions to the direct sound, the phaser
eect gives a whooshing, swirling character to the sound.
FLANGER
The anging eect gives a twisting, jet-airplane-like character to
the sound.
TREMOLO Tremolo is an eect that creates a cyclic change in volume.
ROTARY This produces an eect like the sound of a rotary speaker.
UNI-V
This models a Uni-Vibe.
Although this resembles a phaser eect, it also provides a unique
undulation that you can’t get with a regular phaser.
Eect Name Explanation
PAN
With the volume level of the left and right sides alternately
changing, when playing sound in stereo, you can get an eect that
makes the guitar sound appear to y back and forth between the
speakers.
SLICER
This consecutively interrupts the sound to create the impression
that a rhythm backing phrase is being played.
VIBRATO This eect creates vibrato by slightly modulating the pitch.
RING MOD.
This creates a bell-like sound by ring-modulating the guitar sound
with the signal from the internal oscillator. The sound can be
unmusical and lack distinctive pitches.
HUMANIZER This can create human vowel-like sounds.
2X2 CHORUS
Frequency band division is employed to produce two dierent
choruses, one for low frequencies and one for higher frequencies,
for both the left and right channels (for a total of four). This allows
you to achieve a more natural chorus sound.
SUB DELAY
This is a delay with the maximum delay time of 1,000 ms. This
eect is useful for making the sound fatter.
