Equalizer (Eq); Amp Simulator (Amp) - Yamaha GW10 Owner's Manual

Equalizer (EQ)

The Equalizer effect provides fine tone control
over the sound with a three-band equalizer.
Low
Determines the amount of boost or cut applied to
the low frequencies. The 12:00 position corre-
sponds to flat response or no equalization.
Mid
Determines the amount of boost or cut applied to
the midrange frequencies. The 12:00 position
corresponds to flat response or no equalization.
High
Determines the amount of boost or cut applied to
the high frequencies. The 12:00 position corre-
sponds to flat response or no equalization.
HINT Take care when using maximum levels;
distortion could result, especially when all
parameters are set to the maximum.

Amp Simulator (AMP)

This effect realistically reproduces the character-
istic sound of a guitar amplifier, and provides a
natural sound for direct recording purposes when
not using an external amplifier. When using an
amplifier, it also provides a convenient way to
change the sound characteristics of that ampli-
fier. Amp Simulator is particularly effective
when used with one of the Distortion effects.
Type
Determines the type of amplifier that is simu-
lated: Stack, Combo, or Tube. Stack recreates
the powerful sound of a huge amp/speaker setup,
Combo recreates a compact amp cabinet, and
Tube recreates the warm sound of a tube ampli-
fier.
The positions from minimum to roughly 10:00
correspond to Stack, from about 11:00 to 1:00
corresponds to Combo, and from about 2:00 to
maximum corresponds to Tube.

Combo
Stack
A definite change in the sound can be heard
when crossing the "line" between two separate
types.
Tone
Determines the degree to which high frequencies
are cut or boosted. Turning the parameter dial
counterclockwise decreases the high frequencies,
while turning it clockwise boosts them.
Mix
Determines the level of the Amp Simulator
effect. The minimum setting corresponds to 0%,
or no Amp Simulator output (only the original
signal is heard). The midpoint setting corre-
sponds to 50%, or an equal mix of the original
direct signal and the Amp Simulator output. The
maximum setting corresponds to 100%, or no
original signal output (only the Amp Simulator
effect is heard).
For direct recording purposes, a setting of
HINT
100% is recommended.
