100 Vintage Rig

A collection of classic stomp boxes just waiting to be activated. Press Gain for a Screamer, Effect 1 for a UniVybe, Effect 2 for a Wah and Chorus for a Flanger. The MPX R1 Toe Switch activates pedal control of volume or wah.

101 Pdl Octaves

Use a pedal to create outrageous octave sweeps. A/B changes the direction of the sweep. A=octave up, B=octave down. Check out the Glide parameter in the Soft Row. When it’s set to Off, the pedal produces a chromatic glissando instead of a continuous glide.

102 TechnoChords

Play a chord and let it ring out. Random tones ring out into delay and reverb. A/B changes the mix of the effect so that more of the original signal can be heard. The MPX R1 Toe Switch gives you pedal control of volume or of volume with a sweep filter scale.

103 Cordovox

This program simulates the sound of a Cordovox cabinet — a single speaker with a rotating baffle that produces a swirling stereo vibe. The Gain effect is clean analog Tone that will boost your amp a bit so when you dig in you get some grit but, as you play lighter, or switch to less powerful pickups, you get cleaner sounds. A/B controls fast and slow speeds of the rotating baffle. The MPX R1 pedal controls volume, the Toe Switch turns the pedal On and Off.

104 Analog Echo

This program produces sounds with many of the characteristics of vintage analog echo effects — including the tendency to “run away” if you push the feedback too hard. If you’ve ever played around with an old tape echo, you’ll recognize this sound. This key to this effect is putting the analog Gain block inside the delay feedback loop. The signal is recirculated through the analog section every time the delay repeats. The result is a literal analog echo. A chorus is inserted in the feedback loop as well.

105 Wah & Uni

A great rig with Wah, UniVybe and Screamer tweaked to drive a guitar amp running with lots of gain. Use the MPX R1 Toe Switch to swap the Wah with the UniVybe. While the UniVybe is active, the pedal is an amp input volume control. The Screamer overdrive is bypassed when the program loads — press Gain to give your amp a kick. Tap sets the echo rhythm.
