EFFECT

GUITAR SIM

Simulation of the characteristics of particular guitar components such as
pickups and different guitar bodies allows you to switch among a number
of different guitar types all while using a single guitar .
Parameter
Value
Selects the type of the guitar simulator .

SLOW GEAR

This produces a volume-swell effect ("violin-like" sound) .
Parameter

Explanation
Changes from a single-coil pickup tone to a
humbucking pickup tone .
Changes from a humbucking pickup tone to
a single-coil pickup tone .
Changes from a humbucking pickup tone to
a single-coil pickup half tone .
Changes a single-coil pickup tone to a hollow
body tone with the body resonance added .
Changes a humbucking pickup tone to a
hollow body tone with the body resonance
added .
Changes a single-coil pickup tone to an
acoustic guitar tone .
Changes a humbucking pickup tone to an
acoustic guitar tone .
Changes a piezo pickup tone to an acoustic
guitar tone .
Adjusts the tone for the low frequency range .
Adjusts the tone for the High frequency
range
Adjusts the volume of the effect sound .
Adjusts the way the body sounds when TYPE
is set to S g HLW, H g HLW, S g AC, H g AC
or P g AC .
The body sound increases as the value is
raised; reducing the value produces a tone
similar to that from a piezo pickup .
Explanation
Adjusts the sensitivity of the slow gear . When
it is set to a lower value, the effect of the slow
gear can be obtained only with a stronger
picking, while no effect is obtained with a
weaker picking . When the value is set higher,
the effect is obtained even with a weak
picking .
Adjusts the time needed for the volume to
reach its maximum from the moment you
begin picking .
Adjusts the volume of the effect sound .

WAVE SYNTH

This is a synth sound that processes the guitar input signal .
* When you use a wave synthesizer, observe the following points .
• Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more sounds
played simultaneously) cannot be played . Be sure to mute all the
other strings and play only one note at a time .
• When you are to play the next string while a certain sound is still
playing, mute the previous sound and then play the next one with
a clear attack . If the unit cannot detect the attack, it may not sound
correctly .
• The sensitivity may vary according to the guitar's TONE knob and
pickup type .
Parameter
Value
Selects a wave type which the synth sound is based .

Explanation
This controls the input sensitivity of the
defretter .
This controls the rate of the harmonics .
Adjusts the amount of blurring between the
notes .
Adjusts the volume of the effect sound .
Adjusts the attack of the picking sound .
Adds a characteristically resonant quality to
the sound .
Adjusts the volume of the direct sound .
Explanation
Creates a synth sound with a saw waveform
(
) .
Creates a synth sound with the square
waveform (
) .
Adjusts the frequency where the harmonics
contents of the sound are cut off .
This adjusts the amount of resonance (and
the tone coloration) in the synth sound . The
higher the value, the more the synth tone
coloration is emphasized .
This adjusts the amount of filtering applied in
response to the input .
This sets the time needed for the filter to
finish its sweep .
Adjusts the depth of the filter . When the
value is higher, the filter will change more
drastically .
Adjusts the volume of the synth sound .
Adjusts the volume of the direct sound .
