seconds long from a CD and play back the data at lower speeds. This function also plays data
without changing the pitch at lower speeds and improves tonal quality. You can also record
your own performance as a one-man jam session. This can be of great help in your guitar
education.

The 2100 features a [FUNCTION] switch to which you can assign a function. The following
four functions are available :

2. Manual mode: Switches each effect on and off during performance.
3. Control mode: Enables you to use the RTM function.
4. Jam Play mode: Allows you to use three basic samplers that can be recorded for up to
five seconds simultaneously.
RTM (Real Time Modulation) function (Quick guide
Connecting an optional foot pedal FP01/FP02 or using the [FUNCTION] switch enables you
to adjust the following parameters in real-time :
1. Volume control
2. COMP/WAH module effects
3. Pedal Pitch Shifter in the MOD module
4. Delay in the MOD module (Sound-on-sound)
Flexible use for performance (Quick guide
The patches you create at home might sound completely different in the studio at high volume.
Don't worry. It is easy to correct the sound. You can adjust the gain of the distortion effects,
the reverberation of the reverb effects, and the presence without changing the patch
parameters.
Great support on the stage (Quick guide
