About the Onboard Effects

Effect Types

The Fantom VS has built-in effect units, and you can
independently edit each unit's settings.
Multi-Effects
The multi-effects are multi-purpose effects that completely
change the sound type by changing the sound itself.
Contained are 78 different effects types; select and use the
type that suits your goals. In addition to effects types
composed of simple effects such as Distortion, Flanger, and
other such effects, you can also set up a wide variety of other
effects, even connecting effects in series or in parallel.
Furthermore, while chorus and reverb can be found among
the multi-effects types, the following chorus and reverb are
handled with a different system. Three types of multi-effect
can be used simultaneously; these are referred to as MFX1,
MFX2, and MFX3.
Chorus
Chorus adds depth and spaciousness to the sound. You can
select whether to use this as a chorus effect or a delay effect.
Reverb
Reverb adds the reverberation characteristics of halls or
auditoriums. Five different types are offered, so you can
select and use the type that suits your purpose.

How Effects Units Work

The multi-effects, chorus and reverb effects can be set
individually. The intensity of each effect will be set for each
part.
Depending on the settings, you can have effect settings for a
patch or rhythm set assigned to a part applied to the entire
performance.
