Multi-effect

On the 2488neo, a “multi-effect” is a chain of effects which can be used together as one insert effect for processing a guitar sound, for example. A multi-effect is made avail- able together with the four mic effect setting. Selecting the

multi-effect for use is done in the same way as selecting the four mic effects (see “Editing mic effects” page 40).

Assigning the multi-effect

The multi-effect is assigned in the same way as the mic effects: press and hold the MULTI key and press the input or channel SELECT key. Any input or channel assigned when the MULTI key is first pressed flashes.

Unassigning the multi-effect follows the same procedure: press and hold the MULTI key, and press the flashing SELECT key.

NOTE

The multi-effect can be freely assigned to mono inputs or channels or to linked or stereo input or channels.

Editing the multi-effect

You can edit the parameters of the selected multi-effect. The editable parameters depend on the effect type.

Press the MULTI key to open the MULTI EFFECT screen where you can edit the parameters.

At the bottom of the screen, each of the effects in the multi-effect is shown with an abbreviation. These effects are connected in a chain in the order displayed. This order cannot be changed.

Use the Ó/Á cursor keys to select the effect you want to edit. The editable effect parameters are shown in the upper part of the screen.

NOTE

You can use an external expression pedal to control a single (non-selectable) parameter for each of the 4th stage effects (flanger, phaser, chorus, exciter, pitch, tremolo, vibrato, wah). Set PEDAL to ON to make pedal control possible.

Using the multi-effect library

1From the MULTI EFFECT parameter screen, press YES/ENTER:

2Use the Ó/Á cursor keys to select either the PRESET memory banks, the USER memory banks, or SAVE the current setting. The left side of the PRESET memory banks provides a description of the effect (GRUNGE, CLEAN FUNK, etc.).

The library list shows the preset names (left) and the two main effects used (right).

3Use the JOG/DATA dial (or ¶/§ cursor keys) to select the multi-effect setting that you want to use from the list.

4Press the YES/ENTER.

The setting that you select becomes the multi-effect for the current input/channel and its parameters appear on the MULTI EFFECT screen.

Pressing the NO/EXIT key returns to the MULTI EFFECT screen without saving.
