Pan; Phaser; Pickup Simulator - Boss BR-1600CD Owner's Manual

Pan

With the volume level of the left and right sides alternately
changing, when playing sound in stereo, you can get an
effect that makes the guitar sound appear to fly back and
forth between the speakers.
* This effect can be used in the "COSM OD GUITAR AMP" algorithm
when FX "FX Select" parameter is set to "PAN."
Wave Shape
This adjusts changes in volume level.
Rate
Adjusts the frequency (speed) of the change.
Depth
Adjusts the depth of the effect.

Phaser

By adding varied-phase portions to the direct sound, the
phaser effect gives a whooshing, swirling character to the
sound.
* If the "COSM OD GUITAR AMP" algorithm is selected, this effect can
be used if "PH" is selected for the "FX Select" of the FX.
If other than "COSM OD GUITAR AMP" algorithm is selected, this
effect can be used if "PHASER" is selected for the "Effect Type" of the
Modulation.
Effect On/Off
This parameter turns the phaser effect on or off.
■ When "COSM OD GUITAR AMP"
algorithm is selected
Type
Selects the number of stages that the phaser effect will use.
This is a four-phase effect. A light phaser ef-
4STAGE
fect is obtained.
This is an eight-phase effect. It is a popular
8STAGE
phaser effect.
This is a twelve-phase effect. A deep phase
12STAGE
effect is obtained.
This is the phaser with two phase shift cir-
BIPHASE
cuits connected in series.
Rate
Sets the rate of the phaser.
Depth
Sets the depth of the phaser.
Manual
Adjusts the center frequency of the phaser.
Resonance
This parameter sets the amount of resonance (or feedback).
Increasing the value will emphasize the effect, producing a more
unusual sound.
Step
This sets on or off of the step function. When the step function is
turned on, the change of a sound will be in steps.
Step Rate
0–100
This sets the cycle of the step function that changes the rate and
depth. When it is set to a higher value, the change will be finer.
Effect Level
0–100
This adjusts the volume of the phaser.
Direct Level
0–100
This adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
■ When algorithm other than "COSM OD
GUITAR AMP" is selected
Rate
This sets the rate of the Phaser effect.
Depth
Determines the depth of the Phaser effect.
Manual
Adjusts the center frequency of the phaser effect.
Resonance
Determines the amount of resonance (feedback). Increasing the value
OFF, ON
will emphasize the effect, creating a more unusual sound.

Pickup Simulator

This produces the sound of different types of pickup. You
can produce thick humbucking-style sounds even with a
single-coil guitar.
* If the "COSM OD GUITAR AMP" algorithm is selected, this effect can
be used if "PIC" is selected for the "FX Select" of the FX.
Type
Select the pickup type.

This converts the sound of a humbucking
pickup to the sound of a single coil pickup.
This converts the sound of a humbuck-
