Flanger
The flanging effect gives a twisting, jet-airplane-like
character to the sound.
Select the type of filter.
FL Pre Filter Off: a filter will not be used
LPF: cut the frequency range above the Cutoff parameter
HPF: cut the frequency range below the Cutoff parameter
FL Cutoff Adjusts the frequency where the harmonics contents of the sound
(cutoff frequency) is cut off.
Adjusts the center frequency at which the flanging effect will be
FL Manual
applied.
FL Rate Adjusts the rate at which flanger is modulated.
FL Depth Adjusts the depth of modulation for the flanger.
FL Phase Adjusts the spatial spread of the sound.
Determines the amount of resonance (feedback). Increasing the
FL Resonance
value will emphasize the effect, creating a more unusual sound.
Adjust the balance between the effect sound volume and the
FL Balance
direct sound volume.
FL Level Adjusts the volume.
Flex Band Filter
The flex band filter cuts the high and low frequency
range, and the frequencies for each range are freely
adjustable. This is suitable for making lo-fi sounds
such as radio tone.
BF Sw (switch) Turns the flex band filter effect on/off.
Adjusts the frequency above which the flex band filter cut the
BF High Cut
high frequency range.
Adjusts the frequency below which the flex band filter cut the
BF Low Cut
low frequency range.
BF Level Adjusts the volume.
Lo-Fi Saturator
This produces natural distortion like that obtained
with older audio equipment or an AM radio.
It's ideal for creating lo-fi sounds.
ST Sw (switch) Turns the lo-fi saturator effect on/off.
ST Drive This parameter adjusts the amount of distortion.
Adjusts the sound brilliance. Smaller values produce a
ST Color
rougher sound, and larger values produce a clearer sound.
ST Level Adjusts the volume.
Low Cut Filter
This is a filter that cuts unwanted low range noise,
such as pops.
LC Sw (switch) Turns the low cut filter effect on/off.
Adjusts the frequency at which the low cut filter will begin to
LC Low Cut
take effect.
Information That You Will Find Useful
Limiter
The limiter attenuates loud input levels to prevent
distortion.
LM Sw (switch) Turns the limiter effect on/off.
Adjust this as appropriate for the input signal from your
LM Threshold guitar. When the input signal level exceeds this threshold
level, limiting will be applied.
This adjusts the time from when the signal level drops below
LM Release
the threshold until when limiting is removed.
LM Post Gain Adjusts the output gain.
LM Level Adjusts the volume.
Noise Suppressor
The noise suppressor leaves the original sound
unmodified, but mutes only the noise during the
silent intervals.
NS Sw (switch) Turns the noise suppressor effect on/off.
Adjusts the level at which the noise suppressor will begin to take
NS Threshold effect. When the signal drops below the specified level, it will be
muted.
Phaser
Phaser is an effect that adds a phase-shifted sound to
the direct sound, making the sound more spacious.
PH Sw (switch) Turns the phaser effect on/off.
PH Manual Adjust the center frequency at which the phaser effect will apply.
PH Rate Adjust the rate at which the phaser will modulate.
PH Depth Adjust the depth of the phaser effect.
PH Phase Adjusts the spatial spread of the sound.
Adjust the amount of resonance. Raising this value will produce a
PH Resonance
more distinctive tone.
Adjust the balance between the effect sound volume and the
PH Balance
direct sound volume.
PH Level Adjusts the volume.
Pan
Pan cyclically moves the stereo position between left
and right (when stereo output is used).
Select the type of modulation.
Tri: The sound will be modulated like a triangle wave.
Sqr: The sound will be modulated like a square wave.
PN Waveform
Sin: The sound will be modulated like a sine wave.
Saw1, 2: The sound will be modulated like a sawtooth wave.
* The [teeth] in Saw1 and Saw2 point at opposite direction.
PN Rate Adjusts the frequency (speed) of the change.
PN Depth Adjusts the depth of the effect.
PN Level Adjusts the volume.
