(Amp Input + FX Loop)

Programs 50-59 are ogranized as a custom effects rig when used with the MPX R1 MIDI Remote Controller. All of the programs feature tremolo, auto pan and auto wah filter effects. In programs in which the pedal controls rate, Tap sets the delay rhythm. In programs that have depth controlled by the pedal,Tap sets the rate of the effect. A/B is patched so that B is wetter (more reverb or delay) than A.

These programs will work well with your guitar amp’s clean or high-gain channels.

MPX G2 programs 50 and 56-59 correspond to MPX R1 buttons 6-0.

The Toe Switch turns the featured effect (tremolo, auto pan or auto wah) on and off.

The pedal controls rate or depth of the effect.

Programs 51-55 correspond to MPX R1 buttons 1-5.

Tap sets delay rhythm or the rate of

the effect.

A/B switches between the effect (A) and a wetter (more reverb or delay) version (B).

50 Detune Trem

This one delivers the big throb with a tempo-controlled tremolo in front of your amp, dual pitch shift, delay and reverb in the effects loop. Tremolo depth is pedal-controlled.

51 Square Trem

A square wave LFO gives this tremolo a hard edge before it hits your amp. (Be sure to check out the PW parameter in the Soft Row.) Tap the tempo and set depth with the pedal.

52 Trem>AutoWah

This stereo program combines an auto panner and dual auto wahs to create an unusual, but totally musical result. The rates of all three effects are synchronized with Tap. The pedal controls the depths of the wahs.

53 Env Trem

RedComp pumps up the signal before it gets to your amp. From there, it runs through reverb auto pan, chorus and delay. The twist here is that the panner rate is envelope- controlled. Play a big chord and listen to it ring out. The pedal controls panning depth. Tap sets the delay rhythm.

54 Env AutoWahs

An alternative take on standard tremolo effects. Dual auto wahs in your amp’s effects loop are controlled by your playing dynamics. The pedal controls the depth of both wahs.
