Effect Types and Parameters
DELAY
DELAY module
This is a delay module which allows long delay times and use of the hold function.
dL DELAY
This is a delay with a maximum setting of 5000 ms.
Pd PINGPONG DELAY
This is a ping-pong type delay where the delay sound alternates between left and right.
EC ECHO
This effect simulates a tape echo with a long delay time of up to 5000 ms.
These three effect types have the same parameters.
TIME 1 – 99,
1.0 – 5.0 FEEDBACK 0 – 98, 1.0 MIX 0 – 98, 1.0
Adjusts the delay time. In the
range from 10 – 990 ms, the
adjustment is made in 10-ms
steps (1 – 99). For 1 second and
above, the adjustment is made in
100-ms steps (1.0 – 2.0).
Adjusts the feedback amount. Adjusts the mixing ratio of
original sound and effect sound.

Effect parameters 1 – 3
Effect type
These are the parameters that can be adjusted with Parameter knobs 1 – 3 when
the effect type is selected. The setting range for each parameter is shown.
Three-digit setting values are shown with a dot between the two numerals.
Example: 1 – 98, 1.0 = 1 – 98, 100
Expression pedal
A pedal icon ( ) in the listing indicates a parameter that can be controlled with the expression
pedal (FP01/FP02).
Specify the respective module as modulation target for the expression pedal (→ p. 19), and then
select the respective effect type of the module. The parameter can then be controlled in real time
with a connected expression pedal.
Tap
A [TAP] key icon ( ) in the listing indicates a parameter that can be set by hitting the [TAP]
key.
In edit mode, when the respective module/effect type is selected, repeatedly hitting the [TAP] key
will set the parameter according to the key press interval (modulation cycle, delay time, etc.).
In play mode, if the DELAY module is ON for the currently selected patch, repeatedly hitting the
[TAP] key will temporarily change the parameter.
Hold
A foot switch icon ( ) in the listing indicates an effect type for which hold can be turned
on and off with the foot switch (FS01).
Set the foot switch function to "dH" (delay hold) (→ p. 18) for the respective patch. When this patch
is then selected in play mode, the hold function can be switched on and off by pressing the foot
switch.
Module selector
The Module selector
symbol shows the
position of the knob at
which this
module/parameter is
called up.

Effect Types and Parameters

COMP
COMP (Compressor) module
Attenuates high-level signal components and boosts low-level signal components,
thereby keeping the overall signal level within a certain range.
SENSE 0 – 10 ATTACK FS, SL LEVEL 2 – 98, 1.0
Adjusts the compressor sensitivity.
Higher setting values result in higher
sensitivity.
Selects compressor attack speed in two
levels. Available settings are "FS" (fast)
and "SL" (slow).
Adjusts the signal level after passing the
module.
WAH/EFX
WAH/EFX (Wah/Effects) module
Comprises wah and filter effects as well as VCA type effects.
AW AUTO WAH
This effect varies wah in accordance with playing intensity.
Ar AUTO RESONANCE
This effect varies the frequency band of the resonance filter according to the picking intensity.
The two effect types above have the same parameters.
POSITION bF, AF SENSE -10 – -1, 1 – 10 RESONANCE
0 – 10
Selects the connection position of the
WAH/EFX module. Available settings
are "bF" (before DRIVE module) and
"AF" (after EQ/EXTRA EQ module).
Adjusts the effect sensitivity. Adjusts the resonance of the sound.
bS BOOSTER
Raises signal gain and creates a dynamic sound.
RANGE 1 – 5 TONE 0 – 10 LEVEL 2 – 98, 1.0
Selects the frequency band that is
boosted. Adjusts the sound quality. Adjusts the signal level after
passing the module.
tr TREMOLO
This effect periodically varies the volume.
DEPTH 0 – 98, 1.0 RATE 0 – 50 WAVE u0 – u9, d0 –
d9, t0 – t9
Adjusts the modulation depth. Adjusts the effect rate.
Allows selection of the modulation
waveform. Available settings are "u"
(rising sawtooth), "d" (falling sawtooth),
and "t" (triangular). Higher setting
values result in more clipping of wave
peaks, which reinforces the effect.
PH PHASER
This effect produces sound with a pulsating character.
POSITION bF, AF RATE 0 – 50 COLOR 1 – 4
Selects the connection position of the
WAH/EFX module. Available settings
are "bF" (before DRIVE module) and
"AF" (after EQ/EXTRA EQ module).
Adjusts the modulation rate. Adjusts the type of sound.
