FX
(FX: )
You can select the effect to be used from the following.
Parameter Explanation
On/Off Turns this effect on/off.
Type of FX
OD/DS This effect distorts the sound to create long sustain.
This is an effect that produces a long sustain by evening out the
COMPRESSOR volume level of the input signal. You can also use it as a limiter to
suppress only the sound peaks and prevent distortion.
LIMITER The limiter attenuates loud input levels to prevent distortion.
EQ
This adjusts the tone as a equalizer.
T. WAH A wah effect is produced according to your picking dynamics.
This effect changes the pitch of the original sound (up or down)
PITCH SHIFTER
within a range of two octaves.
Harmonist is an effect where the amount of shifting is adjusted
HARMONIST according to an analysis of the guitar input, allowing you to
create harmony based on diatonic scales.

By adding varied-phase portions to the direct sound, the phaser
PHASER
effect gives a whooshing, swirling character to the sound.
Type
The flanging effect gives a twisting, jet-airplane-like character
FLANGER

between the speakers.

This effect adds delayed sound to the direct sound, giving more
DELAY
body to the sound or creating special effects.
