Useful Functions for Playback and Recording
Adjusting the playback speed (Sound Stretch function)
The Sound Stretch function is very useful when you want to learn a fast
guitar phrase by playing back the phrase slowly, or when you wish to
record a complicated phrase by playing your guitar slowly.
Using this function, you can change the playback speed in the range of
25% to 150% without changing the pitch.
To change the playback speed, access the "SPEED" parameter in Menu
mode (see page 33).
During overdubbing, you can only make the speed slower (25% – 99%).
Setting the playback or recording start point
Auto Start
You can specify the input level where recording will automatically start
after you press the Record button. To set the Auto Start input level, access
the "AT START" parameter in Menu mode (see page 30).
Count In
You can specify the time to start playback for overdubbing. To set the start
time, access the "COUNT IN" parameter in Menu mode (see page 31).
The parameters for this function vary depending on the Time mode
setting for the counter (see "MODE" on page 32).
This function is effective only when recording starts while the unit is
stopped and the Auto Start function is turned off (see "AT START" on
page 30).
Loop playback/recording
Using the A/B Loop function enables you to play back or record a part
between Points A and B repeatedly.
Point A

If the counter is displayed in MBQ Time mode, the unit will auto‐
matically mark Point A at the top of the measure before the mea‐
sure where you specified the start point.
