The function of each parameter
PREAMP/SP.SIM
(Preamp/Speaker Simulator)
Adjust the distortion and tone of the guitar sound.
* When all BASS, MIDDLE and TREBLE are set to "0," no
sound may be produced depending on the Type settings.
* When using the preamp / speaker simulator, specifying it as a
"global sound setting" will produce the most effective preamp /
speaker simulator effect. For details refer to "Global sound
settings" (p.45).
* For the "GUITAR MULTI 1," "GUITAR MULTI 2," and
"BASS MULTI" algorithms, you can change the location where
PRE/SP.SIM will be placed. In this case, PRE/SP.SIM will
indicate "POSITION." For details on the setting, refer to
"Changing the order of the effects" (p.30).
