TYPE Descriptions
1: OVERDRIVE A sweet, mild distortion like that of a tube amp.
2: BLUES A unique type of overdrive that brings out the nuances of your picking.
3: DISTORTION Sharp distortion providing rich sustain.
4: METAL A powerful, spirited distortion sound.
5: FUZZ A unique distortion with a rough, intense sound.
6: COMPRESSOR This effect produces long sustain without distorting the sound.
You can also use it as a “limiter” to suppress only the sound peaks and prevent dis-
tortion.
