Multi-Effects (MFX)

Multi-effects provides 25 different Effect Types, each of
which let you apply a different effect. Described here is how
to enter the MFX-related settings.

Turning the multi-effects on/off

The multi-effects is turned on by pressing [MFX] and getting
the indicator to light. To turn it off, press the button again,
extinguishing the indicator.
* This lets you turn the effect on/off for all parts, regardless of
other settings.
Applying the multi-effects to individual
parts
Refer to the explanation of "Part MFX Switch" in "Modifying
the settings of each part" (p. 19).
