ments, letting you create an even thicker Unison sound by applying higher settings; how-
ever, be careful not to apply too much or you'll change the basic pitch of the pattern.

Distortion Parameters

The Distortion effect lets you create a wide variety of distortion sounds, from subtle,
warm overdrive-type sounds to very heavy, metallic distortion.
• Keep in mind that many of these parameters (as well as the ones on the main control panel)
are interrelated, and you may not hear any distortion effect unless they are set to appropriate
values. This is especially true of Drive,
• Guitar Amp. Type
Settings: Off, Stack, Combo, Tube
This determines the type of guitar amplifier simulated by the Distortion effect. Each pro-
duces a slightly different distortion sound, recreating the characteristics of an actual
amplifier. "Stack" simulates a separate amp and speaker setup, "Combo" simulates a
single cabinet transistor amp and speaker, and "Tube" simulates a single cabinet tube
amp and speaker. When this is set to "Off," some of the guitar amplifier simulation effect
is cancelled (however,

With this setting, the Hold tone (by a sustain pedal) is specified as
the starting pitch of the portamento.
