COMP/FX (Compressor/Effects)

You can select from among a wide variety of original effects, such as those that equalize the volume levels, or extend the sound without distorting it (sustain).

TYPE knob

Use this to choose the type of compressor or effect.

 

 

1: COMP

This produces an effect that sustains the sound without

 

 

 

distortion. It also works as a limiter to suppress loud peaks in

 

 

 

the input signal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2: T.WAH UP

This produces a wah effect matched to the intensity of picking.

 

 

 

 

 

3: T.WAH DOWN

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4: SLOW GEAR

This removes the attack portion of the signal to create

 

 

 

violin-like sounds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5: DEFRETTER

This simulates a fretless guitar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6: Single Hum

This changes a single-coil sound to a humbucker sound.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7: Hum Single

This changes a humbucker sound to a single-coil sound.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8: SOLO

This produces the optimal sound for solo playing in

 

 

 

combination with OD/DS or PREAMP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

COMP Pedal

This switches the effect on and off.
