Parameter/
Explanation
Range
ATTACK
Adjusts the strength of the picking at-
tack when the strings are played. High-
0–100
er values result in s sharper attack,
creating a more clearly defined sound.
TONE *1
-50–+50 Adjusts the tone.
THRESHOLD *2
Adjust this as appropriate for the input
signal from your guitar. When the in-
0–100
put signal level exceeds this threshold
level, limiting will be applied.
RATIO *2
This selects the compression ratio used
1:1–∞:1 with signals in excess of the threshold
level.
RELEASE *2
Adjusts the time from when the signal
0–100 level drops below the threshold until
when limiting is removed.
LEVEL
0–100 Adjusts the volume.
*1 Setting available when MODE is set to COMPRESSOR.
*2 Setting available when MODE is set to LIMITER.

Parameter/
Explanation
Range
This limiter lets you divide the input
signal into four separate bands—ultra
low, low, high, and ultra high frequen-
cy ranges—and apply different settings
to the low and high frequency ranges.
You can set the frequencies separating
each band using the XOVER F L, M,
and H parameters.
MULTI BAND
Ultra Low
Frequency Range
The limiter is applied neither to the
ultra low range, which is critical to
the bass's sound, nor to the ultra
high range, which affects the
nuance of the attack.
This compressor is configured using
the same frequency divisions as
NATURAL
MULTI BAND, but with simplified pa-
rameter settings.
SUSTAIN *1
Adjusts the range (time) over which
low-level signals are boosted.
0–100
Larger values will result in longer sus-
tain.
ATTACK *2
Adjusts the strength of the picking at-
tack when the strings are played.
0–100 Higher values result in s sharper at-
tack, creating a more clearly defined
sound.
TONE
-50–+50 Adjusts the tone.
THRESHOLD *3
When the input signal level exceeds
0–100 this threshold level, limiting will be ap-
plied.
RATIO *3
This selects the compression ratio used
with signals in excess of the threshold
1:1–∞:1
level. Higher values create a stronger
compression effect.
