◆MICPRE

The "MICPRE" effect type lets you use the DRIVE module as a preamplifier for microphone input. The signal can either be from the built-in microphone or a microphone connected to the [INPUT] jack. When you select "MICPRE" as effect type of the DRIVE module, the microphone input gain setting (MIC-G) of the Utility page becomes

effective (➝ page 71). Therefore, if you select a patch where the " " (mic icon) lights up while a guitar, synthesizer, or similar instrument is connected, the sound will be distorted due to input overload.

When the "MICPRE" patch is selected, the " " (mic icon) appears on the display.

When you press and immediately release the [BYPASS (TUNER)] key, the unit is set to the bypass condition, and the indication "BYPASS" appears on the display.
