Vibrato and Wah Effects (LFO)

The LFO, short for "low frequency oscillator," makes changes to the sound
in periodic fashion. Changing the pitch with the LFO produces the "vibrato
effect," and by changing the filter cutoff frequency with the LFO, you get
what is called the "wah effect."

Confirm that the FILTER [LFO ON/OFF] is set to OFF.
When [LFO ON/OFF] is set to OFF, you can use the LFO 2 knob to change
the vibrato effect.

Turn the LFO DEPTH knob.
Turning this to the right increases the depth of the undulating sound, while
turning it to the left makes the undulation shallower and milder.

Turning this to the right (clockwise) increases the speed of the undulating
sound, while turning it to the left (counterclockwise) slows the undulation
down.

When [LFO ON/OFF] is set to ON, you can use the LFO 2 knob to change
the vibrato effect.

the Upper Part and Lower
