Vintage Rig
(Amp Input + FX Loop)
MPX G2 programs 20 and 26-29 cor-
respond to MPX R1 buttons 6-0. In
these programs, the Toe Switch turns
the wah on and off.
Programs 21-25 correspond to
MPX R1 buttons 1-5. In these pro-
grams, the Toe Switch swaps the
wah with the modulation effect.
9-4
Programs 20-29 are organized to work as a custom effects rig when used with the MPX
R1 MIDI Remote Controller. All of the programs feature vintage wah and analog overdrive
in combination with a volume pedal and a modulation effect (UniVybe, OrangePhase,
Flanger, Chorus). Tap echo and plate reverbs are also built-in.
Tap sets the echo
rhythm.
These programs are designed to work in the high-gain channel of your guitar amp, set for
moderate gain. The Screamer and Wah effects are programmed to have high output
levels to increase sustain when they're pumped into an amp that's already being pushed
pretty hard. If you want to use this rig with a clean amp channel, you may want to decrease
the Gain (Screamer) and Effect 2 (Wah) levels a bit.
21 ToeWah/Flng
Alternate between amp input wah and effects loop stereo flanger by pressing the MPX
R1 Toe Switch.
22 ToeWah/Phas
This variation swaps the wah with OrangePhase. Both effects are in front of your amp.
23 ToeWah/Chorus
Chorus effects sound different when they go in front of an overdriven amp. Press the MPX
R1 Toe Switch to hear for yourself.
24 ToeWah/Aero
Swap between the amp input wah and a stereo flange in the effects loop.
25 ToeWah/Uni
While it's almost impossible to play through these effects and not think of Hendrix, the
vintage power trio of Wah, Screamer and UniVybe has become the tonal foundation of
many other players. These effects are all in front of your amp — where they belong. Echo
and Plate are in the effects loop.
In all of the programs, the pedal
becomes a power amp volume
pedal when the wah is bypassed.
A/B alternates between "in your face"
(straight ahead, dry tone), and "the
big moment" (increased echo/reverb
effects and wider stereo spread).
