Explanation
Specifies the cutoff frequency.
Lowering the Cutoff value (toward
LPF) applies an LPF effect, lowering
the cutoff frequency.
Raising the Cutoff value (toward HPF)
applies an HPF effect, raising the
cutoff frequency.
Specifies the amount of resonance.
Specifies the filter type.
Specifies the output gain of the filter.
Turn this ON if you want to prevent
excessive volume from occurring
when Resonance is raised.
Adjusts the amount of boost.
Specifies the frequency above which
the high-frequency region is boosted.
Specifies the output gain.
Adjusts the amount of boost.
Specifies the frequency below which
the low-frequency region is boosted.
Specifies the output gain.
Adjusts the amount of boost.
Lowering the Boost value (toward
LOW) boosts the low-frequency
region.
Raising the Boost value (toward HIGH)
boosts the high-frequency region.
Specifies the frequency below
or above which the low or high-
frequency region is boosted.
Specifies the output gain.
Adjusts the ISOLATOR effect.
With a setting of 255, the ISOLATOR
effect is at 100%.
Adjusts the level of the low-frequency
region.
Adjusts the level of the mid-frequency
region.
Adjusts the level of the high-frequency
region.
Adjusts the intensity of Attack and
Release.
Emphasizes or softens the attack.
Emphasizes or softens the release.

Explanation
Adjusts the compression effect.
With a setting of 255, the compression
effect is at 100%.
Specifies the time from when the
input exceeds the level specified by
Thre until the volume is compressed.
As you increase the Attack value
(lengthening the time), the sound's
attack is compressed less.
Specifies the time from when the
input falls below the level specified by
Thre until compression stops being
applied.
As you increase the Release value
(lengthening the time), the sound has
more sustain.
Specifies the level at which
compression begins.
Set a lower value for Thre if you want
to apply the effect deeply, or if the
input level is low.
Setting a low value for Thre will also
decrease the output level, so raise the
Gain to make adjustments.
Specifies the output level.
Set this so that the volume is
approximately the same whether
MASTER FX Sw is on or off.
Specifies the compression ratio.
The higher the ratio, the more
compression is applied to levels that
exceed the Thre setting.
If the ratio is set to 1: INF, the sound
will not become any louder than the
level specified by Thre.
Adjusts how compression is applied.
The HARD setting applies compression
abruptly, producing a hard sound.
The SOFT setting applies compression
gently, producing a soft sound.
Adjusts the drive effect.
With a setting of 255, the drive effect
is at 100%.
Adjusts the depth of distortion.
Because increasing the Drive also
increases the output level, make
adjustments by lowering the Level.
Specifies the output level.
Set this so that the volume is
approximately the same whether
MASTER FX Sw is on or off.
Specifies the frequency below which
the low-frequency region of the input
is cut.
As you raise the HpFreq value, the
region being cut extends into the
high-frequency region.
Specifies the center frequency of the
EQ that is applied before distorting
the sound.
Specifies the low-frequency level of
the EQ that is applied before distorting
the sound.
