Effects and Parameters

This section lists all the effects and parameters available in the modules of the GFX-8. Parameters which are common for several
or all effects are explained only once.

DRIVE Module

This module comprises a wide variety of effects, including clean acoustic simulator, distortion, overdrive, and fuzz.
[GLOBAL] indicates
a global parameter
that applies to all
patches.
• Parameter 1 of the DRIVE module can be adjusted with the
GAIN knob also when another module is selected.
* TYPE 1A - 7B have the same parameters.
TYPE 1A
FDR CLN
Clean sound of built-in type tube amp.
TYPE 1B
FDR DRV
Drive sound of built-in type tube amp.
TYPE 2A MS CRU
Crunch sound of British style tube stack amp.
TYPE 2B MS DRV
Drive sound of British style tube stack amp.
TYPE 3A BG DRV
Drive sound of tube stack amp with fat midrange.
TYPE 3B PVY DRV
Drive sound of high-gain tube stack amp, ideal for heavy metal.
TYPE 4A VX CRU
Old-style crunch sound.
TYPE 4B PWR LEAD
Lead guitar sound with good power balance.
TYPE 5A V-OD
Dry overdrive sound.
TYPE 5B OVER DRV
Cabinet ringing style overdrive sound.
TYPE 6A
V-DIST
Distortion sound with dry character.
TYPE 6B DIST
Strong distortion sound.
TYPE 7A FUZZ
Boomy fuzz tone.
TYPE 7B WD METAL
High-gain aggressive sound.
GAIN knob GAIN
Parameter 1 GAIN
Adjusts the final gain.
Parameter 2 PRE GAIN
Adjusts the basic distortion amount.
Parameter 3
TONE
Adjusts the tone.
Parameter 4
LEVEL
Adjusts the level of the signal after passing the DRIVE module.
[CONTROL SW] indicates an
item that can be operated with
the CONTROL switch (see page
31).

Parameter 5
RTM MAX
Using the maximum value of the parameter adjusted by RTM as
reference (100%), this parameter adjusts the RTM maximum
value in the range from 0% (0) - 100% (1.0).
Parameter 6
RTM MIN
Using the maximum value of the parameter adjusted by RTM as
reference (100%), this parameter adjusts the RTM minimum
value in the range from 0% (0) - 100% (1.0).
Parameter 7
RTM DES
Selects the parameter to be adjusted by RTM. Parameter 1 - 4 can
be selected.
Parameter 8 RTM CTL
Selects the controller to use for RTM. Available settings are "oF"
(off), "Pd" (expression pedal), MIDI control change 1 - 5, 8 - 31.
When the DRIVE module is ON, the switch functions as a
boost switch that further raises the level of the DRIVE
module. With each push of the CONTROL switch (foot
switch 4), the setting is toggled between normal (LED out)
and boost (LED lit).
TYPE 8A COMP
This is a combination of compressor and clean sound.

Parameter 2
COMP SNS
Adjusts the compressor effect depth. When set to "oF", the effect
does not operate.
Parameter 3
ATTACK
Adjusts the rise time of the effect.
Parameter 4 Parameter 8
