Step 7. Using effects

The PXR4 provides 77 types of effects. It contains 100 pre- set and 100 user effect programs that combine these effects in various ways.

The preset memories contain effect programs created by professional musicians and studio engineers.

The user memories can hold effect programs that you yourself create by editing the presets.

There are four types of effect programs: guitar effects, insert effects, master effects, and final effects.
