Creating Tones with Ease (EZ Tone)

EZ Tone is a feature for creating sounds quickly and easily by calling up saved parameter settings for each individual effect type.

The ME-70 comes from the factory with optimal settings for each effect type saved as EZ Tones. If you like, you can edit an EZ Tone and save your changes over the factory setting. This allows you to use EZ Tone to quickly call up your favorite settings for each effect type.

When EZ TONE is on, you call up the saved settings for an effect with its TYPE knob.
