EFFECT PARAMETER LIST
II
1. COMPRESSOR [COMPRESSOR]
+The COMPRESSOR enables the system to maintain a constant output level by compressing input signals. This effect helps emphasize the
attack sound while picking or helps lengthen the sustain sound by raising the level as the sound decays.
+Parameters
A
SENS
[0 ~ 15]
The threshold of the compressor effect. This specifies at
(SENSITIVITY)
what signal level the compressor will start working.
B
ATIACK
[0 ~ 7]
Attack time. "0" selling is slow attack, and "7" is fast.
F
LEVEL
[0
~
15] Effect sound level output.
*Note
Set the input volume correctly.
The degree of the compressor's effect varies greatly according to the input signal. In other words, the effect may be enhanced or reduced by
the setting of input volume.The input volume should therefore be set properly in accordance to the peak indicator. (See page 4.)
2. DISTORTION/OVERDRIVE [DIST/OD]
+DISTORTION/OVERDRIVE function adds distortion to the input sound (simulating the characteristics of an overdriver amplifier).
+Parameters
1:Tube OD
This mode features natural distortion unique to tube amplifiers.
2: Classic OD
Similar to Tube OD, but with more direct attack sound.
3: SuperOD
This overdrive has a peak in the middle frequency band.
4: Dis!
A
MODE
[1 ~ 7]
This mode produces a smooth distortion with high gain.
5: Super Dist
This is distortion with a peak in the middle frequency band.
6: Stuck Wah Dis!
This mode produces a distortion sound and simulates the effect of a
wah pedal pressed halfway down.
7: Metal Dist.
This mode produces a harder edged distortion suitable for heavy metal.
B
GAIN
[0
~
15]
Distortion amount (drive).
c
[0
~
7]
This is used to set the tone. The larger this value, the
TONE
brighter the sound.
This allows the 3 BAND EO effect to be switched on/off auto-
matically when the DISTORTION/OVERDRIVE effect is
switched on/off.
D
EO LATCH
[0, 1]
0: EO is not latched to DISTORTION/OVERDRIVE.
1: The equalizer will be turned on/off whenever DISTORTION/OVER·
DRIVE is turned on/off.
F
LEVEL
[0
~
15]
Effect sound output level.
