MPX G2 Program Descriptions
Programs 40 and 46-49 use the pitch shifter to produce harmony effects. All of the effects
except Overdrive are in the effects loop. (Because the pitch effects are first, you can use
the pedal to “float” notes into the delay and reverb.) A/B alternates between two harmony
settings. Tap sets the delay rhythm.
40 PitchCascade
This special effect is created by putting a dual pitch shifter in the feedback loop of a dual
delay. Tap sets the delay rhythm. After going through the delay, the notes are pitch
shifted. (A/B selects between up a fifth/down an octave and down a fourth/up an octave.)
Then the pitch-shifted notes are recirculated through the delay and pitch-shifted again.
The recirculation is controlled by the XFbk1 and XFbk2 parameters. (They’re in the Soft
Row along with delay time and other goodies.)
46 Octaves
Use the pedal to fade two additional harmony voices in and out. A/B alternates between
tunings. A=one octave up (doubled). B=one octave down and two octaves down.
47 4ths & 5ths
Play power chords from single notes — with your note on the top or bottom of the chord.
A/B alternates between tunings. A=up a fith and up an octave. B=down a fourth and down
an octave.
48 E Maj/Min 3
Tune up and play melodies in the Key of E. The DiatonicHmy effect automatically
harmonizes your notes in thirds. Use A/B to alternate between E Major and E Minor
(Aeolian). You can change to any other key by adjusting the value of the Key parameter
— you’ll find it in the Soft Row.
49 E Dor/Mix 3
In this program the DiatonicHmy effect is set to produce 3rds in E Dorian (same as E major
with b3 and b7 ) or E Mixolydian (same as E major with b7). Change keys with the Key
parameter in the Soft Row.
