Chapter 2 Using the XV-5080 Effects

Tremolo/Pan

Type

Selects either Tremolo or Pan.

ModWave (Modulation Wave)

Selects the way in which tremolo or pan will be modulated.

Tri:

The sound will be modulated like a triangle

wave.

 

Sqr:

The sound will be modulated like a square

wave.

 

Sin:

The sound will be modulated like a sine wave.

Saw1,2:

The sound will be modulated like a sawtooth

wave.

 

The teeth in SAW1 and SAW2 point at opposite directions.

Rate (Modulation Rate) #

Specifies the rate of modulation.

Depth (Modulation Depth) #

Specifies the depth of modulation.

Output

Level (Output Level)

Adjusts the output level.

75: JD MULTI

This allows the Distortion (DS), Phaser (PH), Spectrum (SP), and Enhancer (EH) effects to be connected in series in any desired order.

Enhancer Sw (Enhancer Switch)

Turns the Enhancer on/off.

*After turning the VALUE dial to select the effect, you can hold down [SHIFT] and press [F1] or [F2] to rearrange the order in which effects are connected.

Distortion

Type (Distortion Type)

Specifies the type of the distortion.

MELLOW DRIVE: A soft, mellow distortion; somewhat dark sounding.

OVERDRIVE: The classic sound of an overdriven tube amp.

CRY DRIVE: Distortion with a high-frequency boost.

MELLOW DIST: Sounds like the distortion you’d get from a really big amp.

LIGHT DIST: A distortion with an intense, brilliant feel.

FAT DIST: Boosted lows and highs gives this one a thick, fat sound.

FUZZ DIST: Like FAT DIST, but with even more distortion.

Drive (Distortion Drive) #

Adjusts the degree of distortion.

Level (Distortion Level)

Sets the distortion output level.

Specifies the volume of the phase-shifted sound, relative to the direct sound.

Rate (Phaser Rate) #

Specifies the frequency of modulation.

SEQUENCE

Dist (Distortion Switch)

Turns the Distortion on/off.

Depth (Phaser Depth) #

Adjusts the depth of modulation.

Resonance (Phaser Resonance) #

Adjusts the amount of feedback for the phaser. Higher settings will give the sound a stronger character.
