Insert Effect Parameter Functions

Modify Fil	Phaser
This is a filter featuring a wide range of possible settings (modifiable
filter). Select different types to get a variety of different filter effects.	By adding varied-phase portions to the direct sound, the phaser
OFF:	effect gives a whooshing, swirling character to the sound.

The modify filter will not be used.

LPF:

The effect will function as a low pass filter.

BPF:

The effect will function as a band pass filter.

HPF:

The effect will function as a high pass filter.

Cutoff F	0–100
Adjust the cutoff frequency.
Resonance	0–100
Adjust the resonance.
Gain	0–24 dB

Adjust the volume level of the sound that has passed through the modify filter.

*This effect can be used when the MODULATION “Type” parameter is set to “PHASER.”

On/Off OFF, ON

This parameter turns the phaser effect on/off.

Rate 0–100

This sets the rate of the Phaser effect.

Depth 0–100

Determines the depth of the Phaser effect.

Manual 0–100

Adjusts the center frequency of the phaser effect.

Resonance 0–100

Determines the amount of resonance (feedback). Increasing the value will emphasize the effect, creating a more unusual sound.

Noise Suppressor

This effect reduces the noise and hum. Since it suppresses the noise in synchronization with the envelope of the sound (the way in which the sound decays over time), it has very little effect on the sound, and does not harm the natural character of the sound.

On/Off OFF, ON

This parameter turns the noise suppressor effect on/off.

Threshold 0–100

Adjust this parameter as appropriate for the volume of the noise. If the noise level is high, a higher setting is appropriate. If the noise level is low, a lower setting is appropriate. Adjust this value until the decay of the sound is as natural as possible.

*High settings for the Threshold parameter may result in there being no sound when you play with your instruments volume turned down.

Release 0–100

Adjusts the time from when the noise suppressor begins to function until volume reaches “0.”

Octave

This adds a note one octave lower, creating a richer sound.

On/Off OFF, ON

This parameter turns the octave effect on/off.

Oct Level 0–100

This adjusts the volume of the sound one octave below.

Dir Level 0–100

Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

Pitch Shifter

This effect changes the pitch of the original sound (up or down) within a range of two octaves.

*This effect can be used when the MODULATION “Type” parameter is set to “PITCH SFT.”

On/Off OFF, ON

This parameter turns the pitch shifter effect on/off.

Type

Selects either manual pitch shifter “MANUAL” or pedal pitch shifter “PEDAL.”

MANUAL:

This is a simple pitch shifter.

PEDAL:

The effect will function as a pedal pitch shifter. The effect of the wah pedal can be obtained by operating the Expression pedal. For a detailed explanation, see “When using an expression pedal” (p. 136).

Pitch -24–DETUNE– +24

Adjusts the amount of pitch shift (the amount of pitch change) in semitone steps. By selecting “DETUNE,” you can add a slightly pitch-shifted sound to the input sound, producing a detune effect.

*This effect can be used when the “P.Shift Type” parameter is set to “MANUAL.”

D:E 100:0–0:100

This adjusts the volume balance of the direct and effect sounds.

Separation -50– +50

Adjusts the diffusion. The panning of the direct sound and effect sound can be spread to left and right. This will be effective when stereo output is used.
