CRUNCH
Type of distortion; this determines the basic character of the effect. The character of the distortion
will depend on the type you select.
DRIVE 0—100 Distortion depth. Raising this value will produce stronger distortion.
TONE –10—+10 Controls the level of the high-frequency range. Positive (+) settings produce a more piercing tone,
and negative (–) settings produce a more mellow tone.
Parameter name Range Explanation
MIX BAL. 0—100% Balance between the original sound and effect sound. At a setting of 0% only the original sound
will be output; at a setting of 100% only the effect sound will be output.
N.GATE 0—20
Noise gate depth. Raising this value will raise the level of the signals that will be allowed through
the gate. This is a useful way to remove noise. Excessively high settings of this parameter will
weaken the forcefulness of the sound.
MASTER 0—100 Output level. Decrease this value if you want to lower the output of the effect sound; only the orig-
inal sound will be heard.
