1:
PEDAL WAH
By altering the filter's frequency response, this creates a sound
with a characteristic wah effect.
[CTL Pedal]: The wah effect can be altered using the pedal.
[EXP Pedal]: The wah effect can be applied consecutively,
and varies depending on the extent the pedal is
pressed.
2-1: FEEDBACKER
This effect allows you to obtain feedback without being con-
cerned about how the amplifier and Patch are set. Simply play
the note you wish to have fed back (accurately, and as a single
distinct note), wait until the sound is stable, then step on the
pedal.
[CTL Pedal]:
Pressing the pedal will increase the volume of
the feedback sound, and releasing it will mute
the sound.
[EXP Pedal]:
The volume of the feedback sound will vary in
keeping with the extent the pedal is pressed.
When the pedal is returned to the original posi-
tion (lifted), the feedback sound will no longer
be heard.
2-2: RING MODULATOR
This creates a bell-like sound by ring-modulating the guitar
sound with the signal from the internal oscillator. The sound
will be unmusical and lack distinctive pitches.
{CTL Pedal]:
Ring modulation is activated when the pedal is
pressed. The frequency of the internal oscillator
will slowly increase.
[EXP Pedal]:
The oscillation frequency will change depend-
ing on how you press the pedal. When the pedal
is returned to the original position (lifted), no
ring-modulation effect will be obtained.
2-3: INTELLIGENT R.M.
[Intelligent Ring Modulator]
By modulating the input signal, a bell-like sound is created. The
intelligent Ring Modulator alters the oscillation frequency
depending on the pitch of the input sound, creating sound with
the pitch differences well defined—which is quite different
from the RING MODULATOR (2-2). Since this effect will not
give you the expected result if the pitch of the guitar sound is
not correctly detected, we recommend that you play single
notes at a time. Also, be aware that the sound will always take
on the ring-modulation effect if this target has been set.
(CTL Pedal]:
The frequency will slowly increase as the pedal
is depressed.
[EXP Pedal]:
The oscillation frequency will change depend-
ing on how you press the pedal.
3:__
SLOW ATTACK
Pressing the Control pedal will immediately mute the sound. If
you keep pressing the pedal, the volume of the sound will
slowly increase, then finally be returned to the original level. If
you release the pedal, the sound will be returned to the original
volume at once. You can use these two volume controlling
methods.
* This function cannot be used with the Expression pedal.
4:
FOOT VOLUME
Allows you to use the Expression pedal to change the volume
of the sound in real-time. Even if you lower the volume with the
pedal prior to a reverberant type effect (e.g., Delay or Reverb),
there will be no unnatural interruption in the reverberant
sound.
* This function cannot be used with the Control pedal.
5-1: ARM DOWN 1
Uses the Pitch Shifter to create an effect similar to that obtained
with a guitar's tremolo arm. The pitch can be lowered by up to
2 octaves.
[CTL Pedal]:
Pressing the pedal will slowly lower the pitch.
Releasing the pedal will rapidly return the pitch
to what it was originally.
[EXP Pedal]:
The pitch will be lowered depending on how
you press the pedal. When you return the pedal
to the original position (lift the pedal), the origi-
nal pitch will be restored.
