Effects within multi-effect programs
GT1–VO2, and their parameters
Here are explanations of the parameters of each effect in the
multi-effect chains listed above.
Dist
(Distortion)
This effect distorts the input sound
Type (DriveType)........ Tube, Crunch, Scream,
HotBox, Higain, Valve,
Crush, Scoop, Fuzz
Drive (Drive) ........................................1...100 Sets the degree of distortion
Treble (Treble)............................–15.0...+15.0 Sets the high-frequency tone
Level (Level) ........................................0...100 Sets the output level
Selects the drive type
Drive
This effect models a compact effect unit or amp head.
Type (DriveType) .........................................*1 Drive type
Drive (DriveGain) .................................. 1-100 Depth of distortion
Level (Level).......................................... 0-100 Output level
Tube (TubeType) ....................SS, 1-99, Burn! Vacuum tube characteristics
Bias (TubeBias)..................................... 0-100 Vacuum tube bias level
*1: TubeOD, Classic, FatDist,Metal, Seattle,BigFuzz,TopBst,US.HiG, B.Stack,Direct
* The Tube parameter lets you vary the way in which the
sound is distorted by vacuum tubes. It simulates the way that
distortion is influenced by the amplitude, number of vacuum
tubes, and their age. As you increase the value of this param-
eter, non-linear distortion will increase, and the overtone
structure will change. It is best to raise the Drive value, and
then adjust the Tube value.
* The Bias parameter adjusts the bias point of the vacuum
tubes that distort the sound. In conjunction with the Tube
parameter, this will vary the overtone structure. The Bias
parameter will have a greater effect when the Tube setting is
high.
NR
(Noise Reduction)
This effect suppresses noise.
Thrsh (Threshold) ....................... –40.0...–1.0 Sets the level at which the effect begins
NR2
(Noise Reduction2)
This effect reduces the noise.
It is optimized specifically for use in a pre-amp chain.
Thrshl (Threshold)....................... –40.0...–0.0 Level at which noise reduction begins to
Decay (Decay) ...................................... 0...20 Decay time
* Threshold must be adjusted according to the input level.
Since the input level of a guitar will differ depending on
whether it has single-coil or humbucking pickups, adjust the
input trim to an appropriate level before you adjust Threshold.
For a single-coil guitar, leave the trim set to approximately -10
at a point where the noise is not too loud, and then adjust
Threshold so that the sound is not cut off unnaturally.
Since NR2 is optimized specifically for pre-amp, it operates dif-
ferently than NR.
Comp
(Compressor/Limiter)
Ratio (Ratio)..................... 1.0:1...50.0:1, Inf:1 Sets the signal compression ratio
Thrshl (Threshold [dB]) ...................–40...0dB Sets the level above which the compres-
Attck (Attack)....................................... 1...100 Sets the attack time
Relse (Release) .................................. 1...100 Sets the release time
GLevel (Gain Adjust [dB]) ....................... –Inf,
–38...+24dB
CompT
(Tube Compressor/Limiter)
This is a vacuum tube type compressor.
Ratio (Ratio)..................... 1.0:1...50.0:1, Inf:1 Sets the signal compression ratio
Thrsh (Threshold[dB]).....................–40...0dB Sets the level above which the compres-
Attck (Attack)....................................... 1...100 Sets the attack time
Relse (Release) .................................. 1...100 Sets the release time
GLevel (Gain Adjust[dB]) ....–Inf, –38...+24dB Sets the compressor output gain
Tube (TubeType) ....................SS, 1-99, Burn! Vacuum tube characteristics
