MPX G2 Program Descriptions

118Fuzz 1 Analog fuzz.

119Fuzz 2

A more aggressive variation of Fuzz 1.

Programs 120-139 each contain a single effect. Use them alone, or as building blocks to create your own multi-effects programs from scratch. Use Copy Effect in Edit mode to copy different combinations into a single program.

120 Univybe

Our recreation of a vintage Uni Vibe, a signature Hendrix sound.

121 Octave Fuzz

This program combines a sub octave with Octavia-style effects with analog distortion. The sub octave comes in when A/B is toggled to B. Turn Gain on and off to control the fuzz distortion. Effect 2 is the OctaBuzz. To get that Hendrix sound, turn off the sub octave and play single notes above the 12th fret using your neck pickup. The MPX R1 Toe Switch simultaneously turns the shifter, Octabuzz and distortion on and off. The pedal is a power amp booster that provides an additional 6dB of volume to kick a solo out over the edge.

123 EnvFilter
