Flg Dpt (Flanger Depth)

Adjust the modulation depth of the flanger effect.

Flg Fbk (Flanger Feedback Level)

Adjust the proportion (%) of the flanger sound that is fed back into the effect. Negative (-) settings will invert the phase.

Flanger Balance #

Adjust the volume balance between the overdrive sound that is sent through the flanger and the overdrive sound that is not sent through the flanger. With a setting of “D100: 0W,” only the overdrive sound will be output. With a setting of “D0: 100W,” only the overdrive sound that is sent through the flanger will be output.

Level (Output Level)

Adjust the output level.

OD Drive

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

OD Pan (Overdrive Pan) #

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

DlyTime (Delay Time)

Adjust the time delay from when the direct sound begins until the delay sound is heard.

Dly Fbk (Delay Feedback Level)

Adjust the proportion (%) of the delay sound that is fed back into the effect. Negative (-) settings will invert the phase.

Delay HF Damp

Adjust the frequency above which delayed sound fed back to the effect will be cut. If you do not want to cut the high frequencies of the feedback, set this parameter to BYPASS.

Delay Balance (Delay Balance) #

Adjust the volume balance between the overdrive sound that is sent through the delay and the overdrive sound that is not
