DRIVE (Drive: distortion effect)
d r
Overdrive sound with emphasized midrange.
VINTAGE (Vintage: distortion effect)
u t
Overdrive sound simulating a vintage amplifier.
FUZZ (Fuzz: distortion effect)
F U
Wild fuzz sound.
THRASH (Thrash: distortion effect)
t H
Distortion sound suitable for thrash metal.
OFF (Off)
o F
Turns the DIST module off.
GAIN
DIST module extended parameters
These parameters serve to adjust the sound outline or
distortion depth for the effect type selected with the DIST
module basic parameters.
GAIN (Gain)
1
The function of this parameter depends on the effect type selected for the DIST
module.
3 0
• When a clean type effect such as C1 or bE or an enhancer effect is
selected
Higher setting values emphasize the outline of the sound.
- -
• When a distortion effect such as dr or FU is selected
(Off
Higher setting values result in stronger distortion.
indication)
PEDAL DIST (Pedal Distortion)
P d
Using the expression pedal connected to the CONTROL IN jack, the
GAIN value (1 - 30) can be controlled.

EQ PHASE
EQ module basic parameters
This module comprises a 4-band equalizer and phaser.
Use the [+]/[-] keys to select the effect type and adjust the
effect intensity.
4 BAND EQ (4-Band Equalizer)
Allows boost or cut in the bass/middle/high/presence band. You can select one out
of 50 patterns (01 - 50).
• 01 - 10: Lower values result in attenuated highs and emphasized lows.
0 1
• 11 - 20: Lower values result in lower emphasized frequency.
• 21 - 24: Lower values result in emphasized midrange.
5 0
• 25: Flat characteristics
• 26 - 30: Higher values result in emphasized highs.
• 31 - 40: Higher values result in higher emphasized frequency.
• 41 - 50: Higher values result in emphasized presence and lows.
PHASE SHIFT (Phaser)
P 1
This effect mixes a phase-shifted
component to the original sound,
resulting in a pulsating character. Higher
P 9
setting values result in faster modulation.
OFF (Off)
o F
Turns the EQ module off.
CONTOUR
EQ module extended parameters
These parameters serve to adjust the effect operation for the
effect type selected with the EQ module basic parameters.
CONTOUR (Contour)
0 • 4 BAND EQ is selected
Using the 0 value as a reference (flat setting), negative values cause an
increasing boost in the low range and positive values cause an increasing
0
boost in the high range. When the EQ module is On, this parameter is always
active. Check this parameter if the 4-band EQ effect type setting does not
1 0
seem to produce the desired results.
• PHASE SHIFT is selected
- -
Using the 0 value as a reference, changing the value towards negative or
positive makes the phaser effect stronger. (Negative values result in reversed
(Off
phase for the effect sound feedback.)
