Phase

Adjust the spaciousness of the chorus sound.

Filter Type

OFF:A filter will not be used.

LPF:The frequency region above the Cutoff Freq setting will be cut.

HPF:The frequency region below the Cutoff Freq setting will be cut.

Cutoff (Cutoff Frequency)

Sets the cutoff frequency when a specific frequency band is cut off by a filter.

Out (Output Mode)

Adjust the method that will be used to hear the sound that is output to the OUTPUT jacks. The optimal 3D effect will be achieved if you select Speaker when using speakers, or Phones when using headphones.

Lo G (Low Gain)

Adjust the low frequency gain (amount of boost or cut). Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the low frequency range.

Hi G (High Gain)

Adjust the high frequency gain (amount of boost or cut). Positive (+) settings will emphasize (boost) the high frequency range.

Balance #

Adjust the volume balance between the original sound and the flanger sound.

With a setting of D100:0W only the direct sound will be output, and with a setting of D0:100W only the flanger sound will be output.

Lev (Output Level)

Adjust the output level.

61:3D FLANGER

This applies a 3D effect to the flanger sound. The flanger sound will be positioned 90 degrees left and 90 degrees right.

Determines whether the pitch is changed in a stepped fashion (ON) or not (OFF).

And adjust the rate at which the pitch will change.
