If this is off, pressing the [FAST] key or [STOP] key will have no effect.

ON (LED lit): The rotary speaker will be on.

[STOP] key

This key starts or stops the rotation of the rotary speaker’s rotor and horn.

Stop (LED lit): The rotation will gradually slow down and stop.

[FAST] key

This key switches the rotational speed of the rotary speaker (fast and slow).

The fast and slow rotational speeds, the time over which rotation changes from fast to slow, the time over which rotation changes from slow to fast, the speed and time for the rotor and horn of the rotary speaker, and the time until rotation stops after it is switched off etc. can all be adjusted by the Normal Edit mode and EX Edit mode Group 6 parameters (p.19).

Other effects

In addition to the effects described above, you can use the knobs and keys of the front panel to modify the sound in various ways.

Overdrive

The [EXPRESSION/OVERDRIVE] knob adjusts the depth of overdrive. This will also affect the volume.
