GUITAR AMP
Since the [DRIVE] knob faithfully simulates the
volume knob of a guitar amp, turning the knob
toward the left will also decrease the volume.
5
ROTARY This simulates a rotary effect suitable for organ sounds.

Simulating the Creation of Organ
Tones
These settings are available only if a TW-Organ (tonewheel organ)
tone is selected.
On a tonewheel organ, you can create original sounds by sliding
nine harmonic bars (drawbars) forward or backward to change their
relative balance. Each bar is assigned a different footage, and this
footage determines the pitch of the sound. 8' is the footage that
forms the basic pitch of the sound; this is the center around which
you create the tone.
For details, refer to "Creating the Organ Tones" (p. 22).
