For example if you select “TONE,” three parameters will appear; “BASS,” “MIDDLE,” and “TREBLE.” You can adjust these parameters by turning the three knobs located below the display. If you want to make more precise adjustments, turn the [VALUE] dial to adjust the value.

To return to the previous screen, move the cursor to the “Exit” button in the upper right of the display and press the [ENTER] key, or press the [CANCEL] key.

If the guitar input level is not appropriate, you may not obtain the distortion or noise reduction effect you ex- pect. Watch the input peak LED while you use the input trim to adjust the level so that it is neither too low or too high (clipping).

2. Applying a modeling effect to your bass

The D1200 provides various modeling effects for use with a bass, including dynamics-type effects as well as modulation and ambience-type effects such as chorus and delay.

These effects can also be applied to clean (undistorted) guitar sounds.

1Press the [MODELING] key, move the cursor to [Bass] in the middle of the screen, and press the [ENTER] key or the [YES/OK] key to enter the bass modeling effect screen.

2Use the knobs located below the display to select the desired type for the dynamics, vacuum tube, and ambi- ent effects.

3Edit the effect parameters.

Move the cursor to “DYNAMICS,” “TONE,” or “AMBI- ENT” in the lower part of the display, and press the [ENTER] key to access the effect parameter screen for the corresponding effect.

For example when you access the DYNAMICS screen, the three parameters “ATTACK,” “RELEASE”, and “LEVEL” will appear. You can adjust the values of these three parameters by turning the three knobs located below the display. If you want to make precise adjust- ments to a parameter, you can also use the [VALUE] dial to edit the value.

If the sound is distorted, you can either lower the input trim or lower the “DYNAMICS” level.

If the input level for the dynamics-type effect is not ap- propriate, you may not obtain the result you want. Use

the trim control to adjust the level appropriately for the input.

3. Applying a modeling effect to a mic

The D1200 provides various modeling effects for use with a mic, such as simulations of different types of studio, mic, and dynamics-type effects. These effects are ideal for processing signals from a dynamic mic or line input.

1Press the [MODELING] key, move the cursor to [Mic] at the right of the screen, and press the [ENTER] key or the [YES/OK] key to enter the mic modeling effect screen.

2Use the knobs located below the display to select the desired type for studio, mic, and dynamics.

3Edit the effect parameters.

Move the cursor to “STUDIO,” “MIC SIM,” or “DYNAMICS” in the display, and press the [ENTER] key to access a screen where you can edit the parameters of the corresponding effect. For example if you enter the DYNAMICS screen, three parameters will appear; “ATTACK,” “RELEASE,” and “LEVEL.” You can adjust these parameters by turning the three knobs located below the display. If you want to make more precise adjustments, turn the [VALUE] dial to adjust the value.

If the input level is too low or too high, dynamics-type effects may not produce the result you expect. According to your input source, adjust the trim to obtain an appropriate level.

If you are using line input, set the MIC SIM “IN MIC” parameter to “Line.” If you are using a dynamic mic, set the “IN MIC” parameter to the type of mic you are us- ing.

4. Saving your modeling effect settings

The modeling effects you edit in Modeling mode are preserved even when the power is turned off. When you turn on the power again, the state of the three effects (for guitar, bass, and mic) will be preserved.

A modeling effect that you edit in Modeling mode can also be edited in greater detail as an insert effect. You will then be able to save the edited insert effect as a user program, and recall it when desired.

You cannot use Modeling mode to edit an effect program that has been saved as an insert effect.
