How Each Effect Works
The ME-8 allows you to create sounds by combining the effects
and changing the values of the parameters. The following
describes how each effect and parameter works.
COMPRESSOR
@ COMPRESSOR
SUSTAIN
ATTACK
TONE
LEVEL
This effect compresses the higher level signals, and boosts the
weaker inputto equalize
the volume of the sound, allowing you
to obtain sustained sounds that are free of distortion.
SUSTAIN (0 - 100)
This adjusts the region (time) that the sound is to be kept at the
predetermined volume. It results in a boost in the weaker input
signals. Higher values increase the sustain time. With lower
values, it works much like a limiter, and suppresses the higher
level signals.
ATTACK (0 - 100)
Adjusts the response for the attack respective to picking strength.
Increasing the value will increase the intensity of the attack,
creating a sharper sound.
TONE (-50 - 50)
Adjusts the tone of the Compressor. A value higher than "0" will
emphasize the higher frequencies and thus create a sharp
sound, while a value lower than "0" will cut the higher
frequencies, thus creating a softer sound.
LEVEL (0 - 100)
Adjusts the volume of the Compressor when itis turned on. This
can be effectively used for adjusting the volume balance
between times the compressor is on and when it is off.

SCS
These effects are used for distorting sounds and creating a long
sustain. The ME-8 allows you to use the built-in Overdrive and
Distortion, and to connect an external effect.
TYPE (od, t.od, bd, dS, H.dS, -E-)
Determines the distortion type.
When the effect is turned on, the effect indicator for the selected
TYPE will light.
[ ad (od): OVERDRIVE]
Allows you to obtain a soft overdrive that sounds just like
what is produced by vacuum tube distortion.
[Lad (t.od): TURBO OVERDRIVE]
Allows you to obtain arich effect just like distortion,
without
losing the subtle nuance of the overdrive.
[bd (bd): BLUES DRIVER]
This creates an overdrive with crunchy distortion. The
processed distortion can faithfully reproduce the tone
changes created by picking nuances, or controlling the
knobs on the guitar.
[d5 (dS): DISTORTION]
This produces a standard distortion.
[Hd
(H.dS): HARD DISTORTION] (Metal Zone)
This produces a rich and powerful heavy metal sound.
[ -E- (-E-): EXTERNAL]
Allows you to use an external effect connected to the EXT.
OD jack.
