The function of each parameter

WAH

The wah effect creates a unique tone by changing the
frequency response characteristics of a filter. Pedal wah lets
you use an Expression pedal or the like to obtain real-time
control of the wah effect. Auto wah creates an automatic wah
by cyclically changing the filter, or by changing the filter in
response to the volume of the input.
EFFECT
Turns the pedal wah/auto wah effect on/off.
SELECT (effect select)
Selects either pedal wah "WAH" or auto wah "AW".
* If you edit an effect with "SELECT," the effect parameter that
you have set before editing will be initialized.
WAH (pedal wah):
The effect will function as a pedal wah.
AW (auto wah):
The effect will function as an auto wah.
< When "WAH (pedal wah)" is selected >
The effect of the wah pedal can be obtained by operating the
Expression pedal.
* For a detailed explanation, see "Ways to use control assign"
(page 39).
PEDAL
This adjusts the position of the wah pedal.
LEVEL
Adjusts the volume.
< When "AW (auto wah)" is selected >
MODE
Selection for the wah mode.
LPF (low pass filter):
This creates a wah effect over a wide frequency range.
BPF (band pass filter):
This creates a wah effect in a narrow frequency range.
POLARITY
Selection for the direction in which the filter will change in
response to the input.
UP:
The frequency of the filter will rise.
DOWN:
The frequency of the filter will fall.
120
SENS (sensitivity)
This adjusts the sensitivity at which the filter will change in
the direction determined by the polarity setting. Higher
values will result in a stronger response. With a setting of
"0," the strength of picking will have no effect.
FREQ (frequency)
This adjusts the center frequency of the Wah effect.
PEAK
Adjusts the way in which the wah effect applies to the area
around the center frequency. Lower values will produce a
wah effect over a wide area around the center frequency.
Higher values will produce a wah effect in a narrow area
around the center frequency.
* With a value of "50" a standard wah sound will be produced.
RATE
Adjusts the rate of the auto wah.
* If this is set to BPM, the MASTER BPM (p.105) value set for
each patch will determine the rate, so that the effect sound will
match the tempo of the song. However if the BPM value is high,
the effect will synchronize to 1/2 or 1/4 of the BPM value.
DEPTH
Adjusts the depth of the auto wah effect.
LEVEL
Adjusts the volume.
