Ring Modulator; Short Delay; Slow Gear; Speaker Simulator - Boss BR-1200CD Owner's Manual

Insert effect parameter functions

Ring Modulator

This creates a bell-like sound by ring-modulating the guitar
sound with the signal from the internal oscillator. The sound
will be unmusical and lack distinctive pitches.
On/Off
This parameter turns the ring modulator effect on or off.
Frequency
This adjusts the frequency of the internal oscillator.
Effect Level
Adjusts the volume of the effect sound.
Direct Level
Adjust the volume of the direct sound.

Short Delay

This is a delay with the maximum delay time of 400 ms. This
effect is useful for making the sound fatter.
On/Off
This parameter turns the short delay effect on or off.
Delay Time 0–400 ms (COSM OD GUITAR AMP)
Adjusts the delay time.
Feedback
Feedback refers to returning the delayed signal back into the input of
the delay. This parameter adjusts the volume that is returned to the
input. Higher settings will result in more delay repeats.
Effect Level
Adjusts the volume of delay sound.

Slow Gear

This produces a volume-swell effect ("violin-like" sound).
On/Off
This parameter turns the slow gear effect on or off.
Sensitivity
This adjusts the sensitivity of the slow gear. When it is set to a lower
value, the effect of the slow gear can be obtained only with a stronger
picking, while no effect is obtained with a weaker picking. When the
value is set higher, the effect is obtained even with a weak picking.
Rise Time
This adjusts the time needed for the volume to reach its maximum
from the moment you begin picking.

Speaker Simulator

This effect simulates the characteristics of various types of
speakers. When the output from the BR-1200CD is connected
directly to a mixer or similar device, this effect can be used to
create the sound of your favorite speaker system.
On/Off
This parameter turns the speaker simulator effect on or off.
Speaker Type
Selects the type of speaker that will be simulated.
"On Mic" simulates the sound obtained using a dynamic
microphone; "Off Mic" simulates the sound obtained using a
condenser microphone.
