Boss Audio Systems GS-10 BS Bass Simulator, SEQ Stereo Equalizer, Synth Level, Character

Chapter 4 Introduction to Effects and Parameters

Velocity

This adjusts the amount of the volume change of the synthesizer sound. When it is set to high, the volume change will be greater depending on the picking strength. When it is set to “0,” no volume change is caused even by changing the picking manner.

Hold

The hold function can sustain the output of the synthesizer sound. If you turn on the hold while a synthesizer sound is being output, the synthesizer sound will be held until you turn it off.

*It is assumed that this parameter will be assigned (p. 60) to the foot switch.

*This parameter is used when “Square” or “Saw” is selected for the wave.

Synth Level

Adjusts the volume of the synthesizer sound.

Direct Level

Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

BS (Bass Simulator)

Simulates the sound of a bass guitar. Obtain the sound of a bass guitar while playing an electric guitar.

*You should avoid playing chords when using the Bass Simulator.

ParameterValue

Character Loose, Tight

Level0–100

Character

Bass tone characteristic is set. When “Loose” is selected, the sound becomes as if the string gauge was getting thicker.

Level

This adjusts the volume of the bass simulator.

SEQ (Stereo Equalizer)

This adjusts the tone as a stereo equalizer. A parametric type is adopted for the high-middle and low-middle range.

Parameter	Value
Low EQ	-20 dB–+20 dB
Lo-Mid f	20.0 Hz–10.0 kHz
Lo-Mid Q	0.5–16
Lo-Mid EQ	-20 dB–+20 dB
Hi-Mid f	20.0 Hz–10.0 kHz
Hi-Mid Q	0.5–16
Hi-Mid EQ	-20 dB–+20 dB
Hi EQ	-20 dB–+20 dB
Level	-20 dB–+20 dB

Low EQ (Low Equalizer)

Adjusts the low frequency range tone.

Lo-Mid f (Low-Middle Frequency)

Specify the center of the frequency range that will be adjusted by the “Lo-Mid EQ.”

Lo-Mid Q (Low-Middle Q)

Adjusts the width of the area affected by the EQ centered at the “Lo-Mid f.” Higher values will narrow the area.

Lo-Mid EQ (Low-Middle Equalizer)

Adjusts the “Lo-Mid f” range tone.

Hi-Mid f (High-Middle Frequency)

Specify the center of the frequency range that will be adjusted by the “Hi-Mid EQ.”

Hi-Mid Q (High-Middle Q)

Adjusts the width of the area affected by the EQ centered at the “Hi-Mid f.” Higher values will narrow the area.

Hi-Mid EQ (High-Middle Equalizer)

Adjusts the “Hi-Mid f” range tone.

High EQ (High Equalizer)

Adjusts the high frequency range tone.

Level

Adjusts the volume after the equalizer.
