MR-8HD/CDOwner’s Manual (Using effects)

Using the insert effects

The [INPUT A] channel of the MR-8HD/CD provides two types of insert effects: microphone and amplifier simulation effects. These effects can be used during recording.

These effects simulate popular microphones and guitar amplifiers. If you use the microphone simulation effect when you record an acoustic guitar through your microphone, you can make recording as if you are using a famous microphone. If you use the guitar amplifier simulation effect when you record an electric guitar directly connected to the MR-8HD/CD, you can make recording as if you are using a famous guitar amplifier.

Note that you cannot get exactly the same sound as the original microphone/guitar amplifier by using simulation effects.

Mic simulation effects

You can use mic simulation effects when the [INPUT A SELECT] switch on the rear panel is set to "MIC/LINE".

By pressing the appropriate key, you can choose from among three mic simulation ef- fects: DYNAMIC, CONDENSER and TUBE (the indicator of the key lights up).

• Details of each mic simulation effect

DYNAMIC	Simulates the sound of a popular dy-
	namic microphone.
CONDENSER	Simulates the sound of a popular con-
	denser microphone for professional use.
TUBE	Simulates the sound of a popular tube
	microphone for professional use.

Amp simulation effects

You can use mic simulation effects when the [INPUT A SELECT] switch on the rear panel is set to "GTR DIST" or "GTR CLEAN". Only when the switch is set to "GTR DIST", you can also use the distortion (adjusted by the [DISTORTION] control), as well as the insert effects.
