Quick Guide

BASIC

4Use the MAIN section’s EFFECT RTN knob to adjust the

overall effect depth.

Note that you can use the PARAMETER knob to adjust the characteristic sound

of the selected effect. If you have selected a reverb effect, the knob will adjust

the reverb time.

The compressor evens out the input level, reducing the level of

loud passages and bringing up softer passages. The result is a

cleaner sound where nuances remain audible and the lyrics are

easier to hear.

1Adjust the COMP knobs on the relevant channels.

Turn the knob clockwise to increase the compression. Avoid setting the value

too high, as too much compression may lead to howling. For more information

about the compressors, see pages 18 and 21.
