    Effect Types and Parameters This section explains all of the effects available on the 9000. However, the explanation does not overlap for the use of parameters which is common to another Effect Type. g Effect Module 1: Compressor+Distortion (COMP+DIST) This Effect Module uses the compressor and distortion effects. The compressor is an effect which maintains the volume at a certain level without loosing a sense of tone and attack.
  • Page 26 g Effects Module 2: Equalizer (EQ) This Effect Module includes two Effect Types to control the tone of sounds. n EQ (Equalizer) This Effect Type is a tone-control-type equalizer which boosts or cuts high frequencies and low frequencies independently. [Parameter] LO (Low): -7 to +7 This parameter adjusts the sound of the low frequencies.
  • Page 27 g Effect Module 3: Modulation (MOD) This Effect Module has 11 Effect Types which change tone in time. n PITCH (Pitch) This effect Type adds the effect sound with shifted pitch within a range of on octave above, and/or one octave lower from the original sound, to the direct sound. [Parameter] PIT (Pitch): -12 to +12 This parameter determines the difference of pitch at a chromatic...
  • Page 28 n FLANGE (Flanger) This Effect Type adds an effect sound which is delayed by some 10 ms to the direct sound, and changes the delay time periodically. This effect obtains an intense sound. When combined with distortion, a swirling flanger sound called “jet sound” is obtained. [Parameter] DEPT (Depth): 0 to 10 This parameter determines the depth of the flanger effect.
  • Page 29 n TREMOL (Tremolo) This Effect Type changes the volume of the sound periodically. This gives a tremolo effect in a range from the conventional tremolo effect, up to a strong clipping effect of the sound. [Parameter] DEPT (Depth): 0 to 10 This parameter determines the depth of the tremolo effect.
  • Page 30 n CRY This Effect Type is a unique Auto-Wah effect in which every tone of the sound changes according to the strength of the picking attack. This can also give a talking-wah-type effect to the sound. [Parameter] SENS (Sense): 0 to 10 This parameter determines the sensitivity of the Wah effect to the input signal.
  • Page 31 g Effect Module 4: Delay (DLY) This Effect Module adds an echo sound to the direct sound. Only one Effect Type is available. n DLY1 (Delay 1) This Effect Type is a conventional digital delay in which the delay time can be set up to 480 ms.
  • Page 32 g Effect Module 5: Reverb (REV) This Effect Module includes three Effect Types which give a reverb effect to the sound. n REV1 (Reverb 1) This Effect Type is a Hall-type reverb effect, suited to adding rich ambience to the sound.
  • Page 33 n REV2 (Reverb 2) This Effect Type creates a thicker density of the reverberation. [Parameter] SHP (Shape): 0, 1, 2 This parameter determines the reverb effect from the three types of shape. Setting this value to 0 selects the shape for the room type reverb, to 1 reverses the shape, and to 2 selects that for the reverse type reverb.
