Creating sounds

Creating sounds

Overdrive gives the sound a distorted character similar to the vacuum tube amplifier distortion often used with
an electric guitar.
This will generate additional overtones, making the sound thicker and more powerful.

When you press this button so it’s lit, overdrive will be turned on, causing the sound
to distort.

Changing the depth of distortion

You can hold down the OVERDRIVE button and turn the LEVEL knob to adjust the
depth of the distortion.
Turning the LEVEL knob toward the right will make the distortion more intense.

* Even when overdrive is turned on, the LEVEL knob will operate in the same way as when overdrive is turned off.
Turning the LEVEL knob (without pressing the OVERDRIVE button) will adjust the volume.
