A1 A9
Analog Delay
This effect simulates an analog delay with a long delay time of up to 5000 msec. The right-digit setting
values control the mixing ratio of the effect sound and the feedback amount.
P1 P9
Ping Pong Delay
This is a ping-pong type delay where the delay sound alternates between left and right. The right-digit setting
values control the mixing ratio of the effect sound and the feedback amount.
R1 R9
Reverse
This is a special delay where the effect sounds as if playing in reverse. Maximum delay time is 2500 msec.

Troubleshooting

•Nopower

Referto"Turnpoweron"onpage6.

•Reverbeffectdoesnotoperate

While a rhythm pattern is playing, the reverb
effect is not available. Stop the rhythm pattern
first (g p. 10).

•Delayeffectdoesnotoperate

While the looping function is being used, the
delay effect is not available. Stop the looping
function first (g p. 12).

•Patchswitchingdoesnotchangethe

sound

Is the patch selection method of the G1u set to
"pre-select" (gp.18)?Turnpoweroffandthen
on again to return to normal operation.
