SECTION III: THE EFFECTS
@ COMPRESSOR (Digital)
a distortion-free sustain effect is produced.
O SUSTAIN (0 to 15)
Expands low input signals and adjusts the range (time)
over which the volume is made more uniform. Larger
values mean longer sustain. With smaller values of this
parameter, this effect can be used as a "limiter" to
suppress only the highest input signals.
@ OVERDRIVE/DISTORTION (Analog)
distortion effects that you can tailor to match your needs.
© MODE (1/2/3/4/5)
Selects the distortion type. Overdrives 1 and 2 give you
a mild distortion that sounds like it came from a tube
amp. Distortions 1 and 2 give you a harder sound.
To really fatten up the sound, Mode 5 reverses the
order of distortion and equalizer in the effects chain so
you can pre-equalizer the distortion.
Mode 1: Overdrive 1
Mode 2: Overdrive 2
Mode 3: Distortion 1
Mode 4: Distortion 2
Mode 5: Pre-Equalizer + Overdrive 2
