Chapter 8

POLY DEFRET (Poly Defretter)

This changes the sound of a fretted bass guitar to make it resemble a
fretless bass guitar.

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 EQ (Poly Equalizer)

Each string is provided with its own four-band equalizer, allowing
you to achieve the right tone by boosting or cutting any of the four
bands. The tone can be adjusted independently for each string.
