Performance Functions and Effects

Multi-Effect List

OFF

MFX will not be applied.

ENHANCER

Controls the harmonic structure of the high-

 

frequency portion of the sound, adding

 

sparkle and improving the definition.

OVERDRIVE 1–4

Produces a natural-sounding distortion typ-

 

ical of a vacuum tube amplifier.

 

1: Small amp

 

2: Built-in type

 

3: Large double-stack amp

 

4: Large triple-stack amp

DISTORTION 1–4

Produces a more intense distortion than

 

Overdrive. Four types are available.

PHASER

Adds a phase-shifted sound to the original

 

sound, and modulates it over time to pro-

 

duce a twisting and turning sensation.

AUTO WAH

Cyclically moves a filter to produce a wah

 

effect (cyclic change in tone).

ROTARY

Simulates the sound of classic rotary speak-

 

ers from the past. You can switch the rota-

 

tional speed (slow/fast) by moving the

 

BENDER/MODULATION lever away from

 

yourself, realistically simulating the behav-

 

ior of an actual rotary speaker. This is partic-

 

ular effective when applied to organ sounds.

ST FLANGER

Produces a metallic whooshing effect remi-

 

niscent of a jet airplane taking off and land-

 

ing.

STEP FLANGER

The pitch of the flanger sound changes in

 

stepwise fashion.

COMPRESSOR

Suppresses high-level sounds and boosts

 

low-level sounds, making the overall vol-

 

ume more consistent.

LIMITER

Compresses sounds that are louder than a

 

specified level, thus preventing distortion.

HEXA CHORUS

Six-phase chorus that adds depth and spa-

 

ciousness to the sound (six chorus units with

 

different delay times are layered).

TREMOLO CHO

Chorus with an added tremolo effect.

ST CHORUS

Stereo chorus.

SPACE-D

A multiple chorus that applies two-phase

 

modulation in stereo. It does not produce an

 

impression of modulation, but generates a

 

transparent chorus effect.

ST DELAY

Repeats the input sound to create echoes.

MOD DELAY

Adds modulation to the delayed sound, cre-

 

ating a flanger-like effect.

3TAP DELAY

Three delayed sounds are panned to mid-

 

dle, left, and right.

4TAP DELAY

Four delayed sounds are heard.

TM CTRL DLY

This is a delay that lets you change the delay

 

time in real time by operating the modula-

 

tion lever.

REVERB

Adds reverberation to the original sound,

 

simulating a large space.

GATE REV NR

Reverb that cuts the reverberation during its

 

decay.

GATE REV RV

Gated reverb, where the reverberation grad-

 

ually increases.

GATE REV S1

Reverb sound that moves from right to left.

GATE REV S2

Reverb sound that moves from left to right.

2PITCH SHIFT

Shifts the pitch of the original sound. Two

 

pitch-shifted sounds can be layered onto the

 

original sound.

FB PITCH SFT

Pitch shifter in which the pitch-shifted

 

sound is fed back to the input, producing an

 

echo.
