Algorithm List
Guitar Multi 1–3
These provide multi-effects for guitar sounds suited for rock. Guitar Multi 1 through 3 differ in the degree of sound distortion.
Guitar Multi 1 provides the Highest degree of distortion and Guitar-Multi 3 the lowest.

Usage of Guitar Multi 1 through 3
The basic configuration is almost identical for all of Guitar-Multi 1 through 3. The only difference is the type of the second
effect (heavy metal, distortion, and overdrive). Select Guitar Multi 1 to add severe distortion to the sound, and select Guitar
Multi 3 for soft distortion as that achieved with the vacuum tube amplifier.
Adding Wah effect by changing input volume
Typically, Auto-Wah provides an automatic wah effect at the cycle set with Rate (Rate).
Alternatively, you can give wah effect according to changes of input volume. For example, you can apply the wah effect so
that it reflects changes in picking on the guitar. First, adjust sensitivity for changes in input volume by using Sense (Sens). Set
it to a larger value for finer subtlety. After that, you simply decide the direction into which the filter should be moved by
entering a setting for Polarity (Pol).
Selecting Guitar Amplifier
You can select which type of Guitar Amplifier to use with Mode (Mode) under Guitar Amplifier Simulator.
Small: Small-sized amplifier
Built In: Built-in type amplifier
2 Stack: Large-sized two-deck stacked amplifiers
3 Stack: Large-sized three-deck stacked amplifiers
Compressors used in Guitar Multi 1 through 3
Compressors used in Guitar Multi 1 through 3 are designed to accommodate playing of the guitar, providing a slightly
different effect from ordinary compressors. Compressors for the guitar unifies volumes by suppressing signals at High levels
and enhancing signals at low levels.
Unlike these, ordinary compressors simply suppress signals at High levels.
