Acoustic Guitar Simulator

This simulates the sound of an acoustic guitar. It allows you to use
an electric guitar to produce sounds similar to those of an acoustic
guitar.
If you set the pickup selector of your guitar to the front position, the
desired effect will be easier to achieve.
On/Off
This parameter turns the acoustic guitar simulator effect on/off.
PickUp
Set this to the type of pickup on the connected guitar.
Charct
This selects one of the four types of sounds.
STD (standard):
This is a normal acoustic guitar.
JUMBO:
This is an acoustic guitar with a body that is bigger than
STANDARD. The bass sound is powerful.
ENHANCE:
This is an acoustic guitar that with a more responsive attack, so the
guitar will retain more of its prominence in almost any situation.
PIEZO:
This simulates the sound you would get from a pickup installed on
an electric-acoustic guitar.
During the attack, a certain amount of compression will be applied.
Top-Hi
Adjust the level of the direct sound from the strings. That is, it
adjusts the harmonic contents.
Top-Mid
This adjusts the interference to the strings made by the top plate.
That is, it adjusts the attack sense.
Body
This adjusts the resonance of the sound caused by the body. That is,
it adjusts the softness and fatness of the sound which is the typical
characteristics of acoustic guitars.
Level
This adjusts the volume of the acoustic guitar simulator.
* If Top-Hi, Top-Mid, and Body are all set to "-100," there will be no
sound.

Insert Effect Parameter Functions

Acoustic Processor

With this feature, you can change the sound from a pickup on an
electric-acoustic guitar into a richer sound, similar to that obtained
by a microphone placed near a guitar. Best results will be achieved
when stereo recording.
On/Off
This parameter turns the acoustic processor effect on/off.
Body
This adjusts the resonance of the sound caused by the body. That is,
it adjusts the softness and fatness of the sound which is the typical
characteristics of acoustic guitars.
Mic Dist
This simulates the distance between the microphone capturing the
sound of an acoustic guitar and the guitar itself.
Level
This adjusts the volume of the acoustic processor.

Bass Simulator

Simulates the sound of a bass guitar. Obtain the sound of a bass
guitar while playing an electric guitar. You should avoid playing
chords when using the Bass Simulator.
On/Off
This parameter turns the bass simulator effect on/off.
Charct
Bass tone characteristic is set. When "LOOSE" is selected, as if the
string gauge was getting thicker.
Level
This adjusts the volume of the bass simulator.

Chorus

A sound with a subtly shifted pitch is added to the direct sound,
making the final output sound thicker and broader. Best results will
be achieved when stereo recording.
* This effect can be used when the MODULATION "Type" parameter
is set to "CHORUS."
