TREBLE Knob
This adjusts the tone of the treble range.
6. D-Chorus
Thanks to dynamic band-splitting processing according to
input signals, you can perform with a chorus effect with no
loss in bass-range response.
INTENSITY Knob
This adjusts the amount of chorus that's applied. When you
don't want to use a chorus effect, set this to "Off" (the
indicator goes dark). If you want to obtain a longer pre-delay
effect, set this to a value of 7 or more.
You can use a foot switch to toggle the chorus
effect on and off. Note that this is not possible
when the INTENSITY knob is off.
7. Master
Power Injection Indicator
(Only when using speaker )
This indicator shows the power-boosting effect of DSP. The
color of the indicator changes from green to orange
according to the effect.
