Appendices

*Parameters with the “#” showing can be assigned to the MULTI-EFFECTS [CONTROL] knob. Set “MFX CONTROL” following the instructions in “How to Make Settings” (p. 76).

01: STEREO EQ (Stereo Equalizer)

This is a four-band stereo equalizer (low, mid x 2, high).

Low Freq (Low Frequency)

Select the frequency of the low range (200 Hz/400 Hz).

Low Gain

Adjust the gain of the low frequency.

Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the low frequency range.

High Freq (High Frequency)

Select the frequency of the high range (2000 Hz/4000 Hz/8000 Hz).

High Gain

Adjust the gain of the high frequency.

Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the high frequency range.

Mid1 Freq (Middle 1 Frequency)

Adjust the frequency of Middle 1 (mid range).

Mid1 Q (Middle 1 Q)

This parameter adjusts the width of the area around the Middle 1 Frequency that will be affected by the Gain setting. Higher values of Middle 1 Q will result in a narrower area being affected.

Mid1 Gain (Middle1 Gain)

Adjust the gain for the area specified by the Middle 1 Frequency and Q settings.

Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the Middle 1 range.

Mid2 Freq (Middle 2 Frequency)

Adjust the frequency of Middle 2 (mid range).

Mid2 Q (Middle 2 Q)

This parameter adjusts the width of the area around the Middle 2 Frequency that will be affected by the Gain setting. Higher values of Middle 2 Q will result in a narrower area being affected.

Mid2 Gain (Middle 2 Gain)

Adjust the gain for the area specified by the Middle 2 Frequency and Q settings.

Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the Middle 2 range.

Level (Output Level) #

Adjust the output level.

02: OVERDRIVE

This effect creates a soft distortion similar to that produced by vacuum tube amplifiers.

Drive #

Adjust the degree of distortion. The volume will change together with the degree of distortion.

Level (Output Level)

Adjust the output level.

It's a good idea to use the Output Level to adjust the difference in volume between when Overdrive is applied and when it is not applied.

Low Gain

Adjust the gain of the low frequency range.

Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the low frequency range.

High Gain

Adjust the gain of the high frequency range.

Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the high frequency range.

Amp Type (Amp Simulator Type)

Select the type of guitar amp.

SMALL: small amp

BUILT-IN: single-unit type amp

2-STACK: large double stack amp

3-STACK: large triple stack amp

Pan (Output Pan) #

Adjust the stereo location of the output sound. L64 is far left, 0 is center, and 63R is far right.

03: DISTORTION

This effect produces a more intense distortion than Overdrive.

Drive #

Adjust the degree of distortion. The volume will change together with the degree of distortion.

Level (Output Level)

Adjust the output level.

It's a good idea to use the Output Level to adjust the difference in volume between when Distortion is applied and when it is not applied.

Low Gain

Adjust the gain of the low frequency range.

Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the low frequency range.

High Gain

Adjust the gain of the high frequency range.

Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the high frequency range.

Amp Type (Amp Simulator Type)

Select the type of guitar amp.

SMALL: small amp

BUILT-IN: single-unit type amp

2-STACK: large double stack amp

3-STACK: large triple stack amp

Pan (Output Pan) #

Adjust the stereo location of the output sound. L64 is far left, 0 is center, and 63R is far right.
