Selecting the effect type and chain

When editing an effect, you must ﬁrst select the effect type and the chain that is the basis of the effect.

To specify the location at which the effect is inserted and the input/output type, select one of the four types [GUI- TAR], [INSERT], [MASTER], or [FINAL]. This selection will determine the chains that can be selected.

To select a chain, select an effect program that uses the desired chain. (→ p.82)

For example if you want to edit a program based on [CHAIN1], select “GUITAR” as the effect type, and select preset program “50’S.” If you want to edit a program based on [CHAIN5], select “MASTER” as the effect type, and select preset program “Pan-Echo.”

It is not possible to change the chain used by each of the fac- tory-preset effect programs.

Editing an effect

1Select the effect type that you want to start with. Hold down the [SHIFT] key and press the [EFFECT/ TUNER] key to switch “EFFECT ASSIGN” to the effect type that you want to start with.

2Select an effect program.

Press the [EFFECT/TUNER] key to enter Effect mode, and use the dial to select the effect program that you want to edit.

3Select an effect module, and set the parameters. Press the [CURSOR] right key to display the selection page for the ﬁrst effect module. If you turn “EffctSel” to “Off,” that module will be off. After making your selection, press the [CURSOR] right key to move to the parameter setting page for that module. Parameter pages exist only for the “effect parameter” indicators that are lit.

When you ﬁnish making these settings, you will be in the next effect module select page. Make settings in the same way.

The number of effect modules depends on the effect type. Also, the editing order of the effect modules may not match the connection order.
