Multi-Effects (Mfx) - Roland MC-808 Owner's Manual

Multi-effects
(MFX)
These are general-purpose multi-effect processors that can transform the sound itself, giving it a completely different character.
MFX1 and 2 each provide 47 types of effects to choose from. These types include distortion, flanger, and many more effects. The
multi-effect types also include a compressor, but this is independent of the compressor mentioned earlier.
