Page 14: Editing/Creating A Preset
Editing Functions Editing/Creating a Preset The Genesis3 was designed to make the process of sound creation easy and intuitive. Because the Genesis3 provides both Amp Modeling and Effects Processing, the editing functions have been divided into the Amp/Cabinet Modeling section and the Effects section.The GeNetX™ technology contained in the Genesis3 allows you to go much further than mere Amp Modeling. -
Page 15: Editing Amp Models And Cabinet Types
Editing Amp Models and Cabinet Types Each Preset in the Genesis3 is equipped with a Green, Red, and Yellow (Warped) Amp Channel.The Green and Red Amp Channels include individually assignable Amp Models, Cabinet Types, Gain, EQ, and Level settings. Each Green and Red Cabinet can also be tuned, meaning that you can select the Cabinet’s resonant frequency. -
Page 16: Cabinet Tuning/Eq Frequencies
Editing Functions Cabinet Tuning/EQ Frequencies The resonant frequency of the selected speaker cabinets can also be individually tuned. Cabinet Tuning ranges from -1™0 (one octave below) to 1™0 (one octave above). You can change the center frequencies of the amp EQ for the selected amp channel. -

Gain - The P4 knob adjusts the Output Gain from the Compressor.This parameter should be used to balance the level of the Compressor in order to achieve unity gain. It is possible to clip other effects in the Genesis3 by setting the Compressor Gain too high. -
Page 22: Chorus/Mod
Effects IPS Amount - The P2 knob selects the Amount or interval of the shifted pitch. Interval choices include: OCTDN (octave down) 2NDUP (a second above) 7THDN (a seventh below) 3RDUP (a third above) 6tHDN (a sixth below) 4THUP (a fourth above) 5tHDN (a fifth below) 5THUP (a fifth above) 4tHDN (a fourth below) -
Page 23: Phaser
Effects Phaser (PHaseR) A Phaser splits the incoming signal, and then changes the phasing of the signal.This signal is then taken in and out of phase and mixed back in with the original signal. As the phasing changes, different frequencies get canceled resulting in a warm sort of twisting sound. -
Page 24: Vibrato
Mod Mix - The P5 knob controls the mix of wet and dry signal. Ranges from 0 (all dry) to 99 (all wet). SynthTalk™ (syNtLK) SynthTalk is an effect exclusive to DigiTech. It makes your guitar seem to speak based upon the dynamics of your playing style. -
