Convenient Functions
Parameter
OFF/ON
Turns the REVERB OFF/ON.
TYPE
Use this to choose the type of reverb.
AMBI.
Simulates an ambience mic (off-mic, placed at a distance from the sound source) used in
recording and other applications. Rather than emphasizing the reverberation, this reverb is
used to produce a sense of openness and depth.
ROOM Simulates the reverberation in a small room. Provides warm reverberations.
HALL 1 Simulates the reverberation in a concert hall. Provides clear and spacious reverberations.
HALL 2 Simulates the reverberation in a concert hall. Provides mild reverberations.
PLATE
Simulates plate reverberation (a studio effect unit that uses the vibration of a large metal
plate to produce reverberation). Provides a metallic sound with a distinct upper range.
REVERB TIME
Adjusts the length (time) of reverberation.
HIGH CUT
The high cut filter adjusts the amount of high frequencies in the reverb sound. When “FLAT” is selected, the high
cut filter will have no effect.
EFFECT LEVEL
This sets the volume level of the effect.
Parameter
EFFECT TEMPO
This sets the tempo when RATE parameters such as DELAY TIME, PHASER, and FLANGER are synchro-
nized to the song tempo.
Set DELAY TIME and RATE to (Whole Note)-(16th Note).
You can also input the tempo by tapping [ SPEED] in time with the beat (TAP function).
EZ CHAR
This adjusts the character of the guitar tone, ranging from solo tone (-20) to a tone used for backing
(+20).

Parameter
OFF/ON
Turns the CHORUS OFF/ON.
TYPE
Use this to choose the type of chorus.
MONO This chorus effect outputs the same sound from the left and right channels.
ST 1 This is a stereo chorus effect that adds different chorus sounds to L channel and R channel.
ST 2
This stereo chorus uses spatial synthesis, with the direct sound output in the left channel
and the effect sound output in the right channel.
MN MLD This features a more suppressed high end than MONO.
ST1 MLD This features a more suppressed high end than ST 1.
ST2 MLD This features a more suppressed high end than ST 2.
RATE
This sets the speed of the effect.
When set to BPM, the value of the RATE parameter is set according to the value of the “EFFECT TEMPO” (p. 30)
specified for each patch. This makes it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the
song.
DEPTH
This sets the richness of the effect.
EFFECT LEVEL
This sets the volume level of the effect.
