10 EFFECT Knob Settings

DIST (Distortion)

This setting adds that universal effect that was first used in rock music decades ago and now has become a staple for guitarists in many genres.

Acoustic

Emulates the sound of an acoustic guitar.

Tube Clean

Simulates the clean sound of a classic tube amplifier.

Rhythm

A slightly distorted sound; great for rhythm playing.

Overdrive

Provides more grit than the Rhythm setting, like you’re really pushing those amplifier tubes.

Distortion

Adds crunchiness to your sound.

Blues

A warm yet slightly crunchy sound associated with some of the blues-guitar greats.

Fuzz

That classic fuzz distortion effect of the 60s. Just listen and you’ll see how it got the name.

Lead

A searing overdrive that will make your solos scream.

Metal

A heavily overdriven sound with a long sustain.

Stack Drive

A heavy, driving distortion that sounds like you’re playing through a massive tube stack amp.

Combo Drive

Another heavyweight distortion; sounds like a tube stack amp with a well-defined midrange.

Off

Turns DIST off.
