Aural Exciter; Touch Wah; Pedal Wah - Yamaha GW33 Owner's Manual

C Pitch R (Right) Range: -8 – 8
Determines the degree of detuning for the right channel.
D Mix Range: 0 – 15
Determines the level of the Detune sound. At 0, the
Detune level is zero; at 15, the level of the Detune sound
is roughly equal to that of the original signal.
E On/Off (Switch 4)
Determines how Pedal Switch 4 affects on/off switching
for the selected Modulation block. (See page 24.)

AURAL EXCITER

6
Type
The Exciter effect enhances the sound by giving it greater
definition and clarity. Generally used with the Distortion
effect off, it adds sparkle and presence to the sound. It is
especially effective when used in tandem with the Amp
Simulator effect. With Distortion on, it functions much
like an equalizer.
B Enhance Range: 0 – 15
Determines the degree or depth of the Exciter effect. If
this is set to 0, there is no Exciter processing, and the other
parameters have no effect on the sound.
C Frequency Range: 1 – 16
Determines the center frequency for the Exciter effect.
Maximum values emphasize the high frequencies, while
minimum values emphasize the low frequencies.
D Mix Range: 0 – 15
Determines the level of the Exciter sound. At 0, the
Exciter level is zero; at 15, the level of the Exciter sound
is roughly equal to that of the original signal.
E On/Off (Switch 4)
Determines how Pedal Switch 4 affects on/off switching
for the selected Modulation block. (See page 24.)

Touch Wah

7
Type

Pedal Wah

8
Type
Wah is a filter sweep effect that, as its name implies,
produces a "wah" type sound. Two different Wah effects
are available: Touch and Pedal. Touch lets you vary the
sweep of the filter according to the input level (how hard
or loud you play) while Pedal lets you "play" the Wah
effect with a connected Foot Controller.

NOTE When Touch Wah or Pedal Wah is selected, the

Modulation block using Wah is placed first in the effect

chain, just before the Compressor. (See page 7.)

The Touch type lets you control the Wah effect by the
1 2
1 2
1 2 1 2
level of the input signal (or how hard you play). In
1 2
1 2
Touch, the filter sweep (or "wah" sound) starts at the
1 2 1 2
1 2
1 2
beginning each time it is triggered.

Pedal Wah lets you sweep the filter manually with a

connected Yamaha FC7 Foot Controller. When Pedal
1 2
1 2
1 2 1 2
Wah is selected and the block is on, volume control
1 2
1 2
1 2 1 2
with the Foot Controller is automatically disabled. (See
1 2

page 30.) When the Foot Controller is disconnected,
1 2
1 2
1 2 1 2
the Pedal Wah effect automatically is set to the center
1 2

frequency.

B Sense (Touch Wah only)
1 2 1 2
Determines how sensitive the Wah effect is to the instru-
1 2 1 2
1 2 1 2
ment input. The higher the value, the more sensitive the
1 2 1 2
1 2 1 2
trigger of the Wah effect becomes to low level signals;
1 2 1 2
1 2 1 2 even with a low level input, the band pass filter of the
1 2 1 2
Wah effect is applied.

1 2 1 2
1 2 1 2 HINT For best results, when playing a solo or a line, try
1 2 1 2
setting Sense to a high value; when performing backing
1 2 1 2
or rhythm parts, try setting Sense to a low value. (This is
1 2 1 2
1 2 1 2
because playing a single string results in a lower level
1 2 1 2
than playing all six strings.)
