The function of each parameter
BALANCE DIR:FX (direct: effect)
This adjusts the volume balance of the direct and effect
sounds.
DIR:FX 100:0 Only the direct sound will be output.
DIR:FX 0:100 Only the effect sound will be output.
FX (EFFECT) LEVEL
This parameter adjusts the effect level.
PRE DELAY
This parameter adjusts the time interval between the direct
sound and the beginning of the reverb sound.
DENSITY
Adjust the density of the sound (Early Reflections) that
arrives at the listener after bouncing off the walls once or a
few times.
EARLY REF LEVEL (early reflection level)
This parameter adjusts the volume level of the initial
reflected sound.
RELEASE DENSITY
This parameter adjusts the density of the sound that reaches
the listener after many repeated reflections.
LOW DAMP GAIN
This parameter adjusts the amount of damping for Low
Damp. No low-frequency damping occurs when set to "0."
LOW DAMP FREQUENCY
This parameter adjusts the standard frequency at which the
low-frequencies are damped. The reverb sound in the band
below this frequency is damped.
HIGH DAMP GAIN
This parameter adjusts the amount of damping for High
Damp. No high-frequency damping occurs when set to "0."
HIGH DAMP FREQUENCY
This parameter adjusts the standard frequency at which the
high-frequencies are damped. The reverb sound in the band
above the standard frequency is damped.
LOW CUT (low cut filter)
This parameter adjusts the frequency at which a high-pass
filter starts to be applied. The effect is applied to the reverb
sound.
112
HIGH CUT (FILTER)
This parameter adjusts the frequency at which a low-pass
filter starts to be applied. The effect is applied to the reverb
sound.

GATE

Adjust the input level to control the reverb.
This setting can be used in the "GATE REVERB" algorithm.
EFFECT
This parameter turns the GATE effect on/off.
THRESHOLD (gate threshold)
This parameter adjusts the standard level for controlling
opening and closing of the gate.
HOLD TIME (gate hold time)
This parameter adjusts the time interval between the gate
opening and closing completely.
RLS TIME (gate release time)
This parameter adjusts the time from when the hold time
ends to when the sound is completely muted.

RING MODULATOR

This creates a bell-like sound by ring-modulating the input
sound with the signal from the internal oscillator. The sound
will be unmusical and lack distinctive pitches.
MODE
This selects the mode for the ring modulator.
NORMAL:
By ring-modulating the signal with the guitar sound and the
signal of the internal oscillator, it can create a bell like sound.
You can obtain a non-musical sound with the sense of pitch.
INTELLIGENT:
By ring-modulating the input signal, a bell like sound is
created. The intelligent ring modulator changes the
oscillation frequency according to the pitch of the input
sound and therefore produces a sound with the sense of
pitch, which is quite different from "Normal." This effect
does not give a satisfactory result if the pitch of the guitar
sound is not correctly detected. So, you must use a single
note.
