Chapter 9 Parameters Guide POLY

POLY COMP (Poly Compressor)

The compressor is an effect that attenuates loud input levels
and boosts soft input levels, thus evening out the volume to
create sustain without distortion.

POLY DIST (Poly Distortion)

You can individually distort the sound of each string to get a sound
that can be played chordally without breaking up.

POLY FX (Poly Effect)

Parameter/
Range

Explanation

POLYFX SW (Poly Effect Switch)

OFF, ON

Turns the poly effect on/off.

TYPE

POLY COMP
POLY DIST
POLY OCTAVE
POLY SG

Select the poly effect type.

* The parameters that can be set differ with

each type. Refer to each of the parameters
cited later.

POLYFX CH (Poly Effect Channel)

A, B

This selects the channel to which the POLY
FX are applied.

Parameter/
Range

Explanation

COMP TYPE

Select the compressor type.

COMP

The effect will function as a compressor.

LIMITR

The effect will function as a limiter.

SUSTAIN (COMP TYPE = COMP)

0–100

Adjusts the range (time) over which low-
level signals are boosted. Larger values will
result in longer sustain.

ATTACK (COMP TYPE = COMP)

0–100

Adjusts the strength of the picking attack.
Larger values will result in a sharper attack,
creating a more clearly defined sound.

THRSH (COMP TYPE = LIMITR)

0–100

Adjusts the level to match the signals input
from the guitar. Signal levels are suppressed
when the signals input are in excess of the
set level.

REL (COMP TYPE = LIMITR)

0–100

Adjusts the amount of time from the point at
which the signals fall below the threshold lev-
el to when the effect is no longer applied.

TONE

-50–+50

Adjusts the tone.

LEVEL

0–100

Adjusts the volume.

COMP BAL (Compression Balance)

0–100

Adjusts the balance of the input levels for
the 2nd–6th strings based on the 1st string’s
input level. When this is set to 100, all of the
strings are input at the same level. The level
of the 2nd through 6th strings decreases as
the value is lowered.

Parameter/
Range

Explanation

MODE

Selects the type of distortion.

CLA OD

A classical overdrive sound is obtained.

TURBO OD

Allows you to obtain a rich effect just like
distortion, without losing the subtle nuance
of the overdrive.

DS1

Allows you to obtain a standard distortion
sound.

DS2

Allows you to obtain a distortion sound
with a rich middle.

FUZZ

This produces a basic fuzz sound.

DRIVE

0–100

This sets the degree of sound distortion.

HIGH-CUT

700Hz–11.0kHz, FLAT

Adjusts the tone of the distorted sound.

POLY BAL (Poly Balance)

0–100

Adjusts the degree of distortion for
chordal playing.

DRIVE BAL (Drive Balance)

0–100

Adjusts the degree of distortion be-
tween low and high strings, to even out
the volume balance.

LEVEL

0–100

Adjusts the output level that is raised
by being distorted.
