CLEAN BOOST/EQ
This setting bypasses the Drive knob and will not provide any distortion.
The Amount, Clean Mix, and Distortion Mix knobs still apply. The
EQ
most common use for this setting is to have a preset that gives you
clean signal boost with some . This is also useful for when you want

to morph from a clean sound to a distorted sound using an expression
pedal. (See Morphing section.)

These four settings are best for maximum clarity of the individual notes
in a chord. These distortion curves are similar to standard distortions.
FOLDBACK 4-9
The foldback of the distortion curve greatly increases the distortion
components for these settings. The higher numbered effects have more
foldback creating even more distortion.
OCTAVE 10-14
Settings and give the purest octave effect. Settings
10 11
also have foldback and can get pretty strange. Dial down the guitar vol-
ume knob for a different range of sounds.
SINGLE BAND
NORMAL 15-16
These two settings are fairly conventional distortion sounds.
FOLDBACK 17-19
With the entire guitar signal processed through a single foldback distor-
tion curve, there will be much more intermodulation-type distortion
produced. Long sustained notes and unison bends work great.
OCTAVE 20-22
is the purest single band octave effect, and
20
through
12 14
includes some foldback.
