Effect Types and Parameters

This section explains all of the effects available on the 9000. However, the explanation
does not overlap for the use of parameters which is common to another Effect Type.
g Effect Module 1: Compressor+Distortion (COMP+DIST)
This Effect Module uses the compressor and distortion effects. The compressor is an
effect which maintains the volume at a certain level without loosing a sense of tone and
attack. The distortion is an effect which gives a unique tube-amplifier-type distortion
and long sustain to the sound. With this Effect Module, five degrees of depth of the
distortion for each Effect Type are available. Compression can be adjusted by changing
the parameter value.
n CLEAN
This Effect Type uses only the compressor. A clean sound without distortion is obtained.
The use of this Effect Type with Chorus is suitable for arpeggios.
[Parameter]
(1) COMP (Compressor): 0 to 2
This parameter determines the depth of the compression. The higher the
value is, the smaller the difference of the sound level is made, and a
longer sustain is obtained.
n RHYTHM
This Effect Type gives distortion which is similar to that of a slightly distorted tube-
amplifier, to the sound. It is suitable for chord cutting.
[Parameter]
(1) COMP (Compressor): 0 to 2
This parameter is as above with CLEAN.
n CRUNCH
This Effect Type gives natural and warm distortion which is unique to the tube-amplifier,
to the sound.
[Parameter]
(1) COMP (Compressor): 0 to 2
This parameter is as above with CLEAN.
n OVDRV (Overdrive)
This Effect Type in an overdrive effect sound which fits most of sound creation.
[Parameter]
(1) COMP (Compressor): 0 to 2
This parameter is as above with CLEAN.
n DIST (Distortion)
this Effect Type gives the same hard distortion as that when a large amplifier is driven
fully with the sound at high level.
[Parameter]
(1) COMP (Compressor): 0 to 2
This parameter is as above with CLEAN.
