Section Four - Models and Parameters

About the Models

The BP355 can be thought of as several different "virtual" amplifiers and individual, high-tech
stompboxes in a single programmable package. With stompboxes, the order in which they are
connected affects the overall sound. The BP355 has placed the Amp and Effect models in an
order for optimum results. The following diagram shows the order in which they are connected.

Model Definitions

Each Amp and Effect model within the BP355 can be programmed to suit your personal taste
and application. Understanding how these components alter the sound, and how each parame-
ter alters the effect, will help you achieve the sound you are looking for. The following overview
of the BP355's effects outlines what each effect and parameter does.
Fretless/Wah
The Fretless simulator creates a fretless bass sound when using a fretted bass. Wah is an effect
controlled by an Expression Pedal making the bass sound as if it's saying "Wah."
Fretless/Wah Model - Knob 1 selects the Fretless Simulator or Wah model.
FRET 1 - 3 (Fretless Simulator), CRYwah (based on a Dunlop
clyde(based on a Vox
sweeps the entire spectrum of audible frequencies). Press this knob to turn the model on
and off.
Fretless Amount - Knob 2 adjusts the amount of Fretless Simulator mixed in with the
dry signal. Ranges from 0 to 99.
Wah Minimum - Knob 3 adjusts the Wah Pedal Minimum. Ranges from 0 (toe up) to
99 (toe down).
Wah Maximum - Knob 4 adjusts the Wah Pedal Maximum. Ranges from 0 (toe up) to
99 (toe down).
Wah Level - Knob 5 adjusts the Wah Level. Ranges from 0dB to +12dB.
Note: If any of the 3 Wah types are selected in Fretless/Wah, the wah can be turned on and off
by pressing firmly on the Expression pedal toe. The Expression pedal will override any expres-
sion link and control the wah when it is enabled. If any of the 3 Fretless types are selected, Wah
cannot be used and pressing on the Expression pedal toe will do nothing.
