such as its character or acoustic image.
1
1. Turn the [TONE COLOR] knob.
The effect assigned to the knob is applied.
You can assign one or the other of the following effects to the
[TONE COLOR] knob.
Parameter Explanation
If the sound is being output in stereo, turning the knob to
the left gradually transforms the audio output to mono,
Stereo Width and turning the knob to the right transforms it to stereo.
Depending on your performing situation, the mono sound
might be better for listening.
This lets you adjust the EQ using a single knob. Turning
the knob to the left boosts the mid-frequency region, and
turning the knob to the right boosts the high-frequency
EQ
and low-frequency regions. Adjusting this appropriately for
your performing situation might make the sound better for
listening.

variety of effect types including distortion and rotary.
With the factory settings, an effect appropriate for each tone is
assigned.

notice the effect.
If the tone's MFX setting is set to "Thru, " no effect is applied.
MFX settings can also be specified for individual Scenes. For details,
