Using the insert effect

Unlike the loop effect described earlier in "Mixer Functions", the insert effect is applied when rerecording any recorded track among tracks 1 through 6.

This rerecording mode in which the insert effect is applied is called "REC EFFECT" mode.

Six distortion/simulation type effects are available for the insert effect. You can distort a guitar, bass, drums or vocal, as well as simulate a famous guitar amplifier or microphone character.
