Bass Simulator; Bass Cut Filter; Chorus; 2X2 Chorus - Boss BR-1600CD Owner's Manual

Insert effect parameter functions

Bass Simulator

This simulates the sound of a bass guitar. You can use it to
recreate the sound of a bass guitar while playing an electric
guitar. Note that you should avoid playing chords when
using the Bass Simulator.
Effect On/Off
This parameter turns the bass simulator effect on or off.
Character
This sets the bass tone characteristic. LOOSE produces the sound of a
thicker string gauge.
Level
This adjusts the overall volume of the bass simulator.

Bass Cut Filter

This filter cuts out vocal pop and other unwanted lower
range noise. In this, it simulates the bass cut switch found on
certain microphones.
Effect On/Off
This setting turns the Bass Cut Filter on or off.
Freq
Thru will generally be used; however, you can use this parameter to
adjust the frequency if the attack contains an unwanted low-band
component.

Chorus

This effect adds a sound with a subtly shifted pitch to the
direct sound, which gives the final output sound greater
breadth and depth. Best results will be achieved when stereo
output is used.
Effect On/Off
This parameter turns the chorus effect on or off.
Rate
This adjusts the rate of the chorus.
Depth
This adjusts the depth of the chorus.
Effect Level
This parameter adjusts the overall volume of the effect sound.

■ When "COSM OD GUITAR AMP"
algorithm is selected
Mode
Selection for the chorus mode.
MONO:
This chorus effect outputs the same sound from both L and R.
STEREO:
This is a stereo chorus effect that adds different chorus sounds to L and R.
Pre Delay
Adjusts the time needed for the effect sound to be output after the
direct sound has been output. By setting a longer pre delay time, you
can obtain an effect that sounds like more than one sound is being
played at the same time (doubling effect).
Hi Cut Freq
This allows you to get a mild effect sound by cutting the high-end
component above the set frequency.
When "Flat" is selected, the high cut frequency will have no effect.
■ When algorithm other than "COSM OD
GUITAR AMP" is selected
* This effect can be used when the Modulation "Effect Type" parameter is
set to "CHORUS."
Pre Delay
Adjusts the time needed for the effect sound to be output after the
direct sound has been output.

2x2 Chorus

Two separate stereo chorus units are used for the low-
frequency and high-frequency ranges in order to create a
more natural chorus sound.
* This effect can be used in the "COSM OD GUITAR AMP" algorithm
when FX "FX Select" parameter is set to "2CE."
Xover Freq
This parameter sets the frequency at which the frequency components of
the direct sound are divided into bass and treble bands.
Low Rate
This adjusts the speed of the chorus effect for the low frequency range.
Low Depth
This adjusts the depth of the chorus effect for the low frequency range. If
you wish to use this as a doubling effect, use a setting of "0."
Low Pre-Dly
This adjusts the time from when the low frequency range direct sound is
output until the effect sound is output. Extending the pre-delay will
produce the sensation of multiple sounds (doubling effect).
Low Level
This adjusts the volume of the low frequency range.
