Using Insert Effects

BASS SIM (Bass Simulator)

Simulation of the characteristics of particular bass
components such as pickups and different bass bodies
allows you to switch among a number of different bass
types all while using a single bass.

SLOW GEAR

This produces a volume-swell effect (“violin-like” sound).

DEFRETTER

This simulates a fretless bass guitar.

Parameter/

SGL Changes from a humbucking pickup tone
to a single-coil pickup tone.
SLD
→
HLW
Changes a solid body bass tone to a hollow
body bass tone with the body resonance
added.
SGL
→
ACO Changes a single-coil pickup tone to an
acoustic bass tone.
HUM
→
ACO Changes a humbucking pickup tone to an

LOW

-50–+50 Adjusts the tone for the low frequency
range.

HIGH

-50–+50 Adjusts the tone for the high frequency
range

BODY

0–100
Adjusts the way the body sounds when
Type is set to SLD
→
HLW, SGL
→
ACO, or
HUM
→
ACO.
The body sound increases as the value is
raised; reducing the value produces a tone
similar to that from a piezo pickup.

LEVEL

0–100 Adjusts the volume.

Parameter/
Range Explanation

SENS (Sensitivity)

0–100
Adjusts the sensitivity of the slow gear.
When it is set to a lower value, the effect of
the slow gear can be obtained only with a
stronger picking, while no effect is ob-
tained with a weaker picking.
When the value is set higher, the effect is
obtained even with a weak picking.

RISE TIME

0–100
Adjusts the time needed for the volume to
reach its maximum from the moment you
begin picking.

Parameter/
Range Explanation

TONE

-50–+50 Adjusts the amount of blurring between
the notes.

SENS (Sensitivity)

0–100 This controls the input sensitivity of the de-
fretter.

ATTACK

0–100 Adjusts the attack of the picking sound.

E.LEVEL (Effect Level)

0–100 Adjust the volume of the defretter sound.

D.LEVEL (DIRECT Level)
