into one unit. Instead of turning knobs and pushing buttons
on pedal after pedal, with the AcoustiFX you have full
control over dozens of effects with one foot pedal! It’s that
easy.
Effect Modules
If you were to think of the AcoustiFX as a series of individual
pedals linked together, then each pedal in that series would be
considered an effect module. The AcoustiFX has eight
separate effect modules, as shown below:
You can assign one effect to each of these modules and
adjust its parameters accordingly. On the face of the unit,
you’ll see a list of possible effect types for some of these
modules. For more on effect modules, see chapter 10.
Effect Types
When we use the word “effect” in this manual, we’re usually
referring to an effect type. Each module provides you with a
selection of effect types, only one of which may be chosen
for each module. For example, the TYPE module allows you
to select which type of acoustic sound you want (Clean,
Warm, Bright, Rhythm and others). The behavior of each of
these effect types may be adjusted in one or more ways to
produce variations of the effect.
Parameters
A parameter is a control that changes the characteristics of an
effect. When we use the word “parameter,” we are referring
to the “direct control” parameter available to the FX1 and
FX2 modules. The parameters for FX1 and FX2 are labeled
PARAM on the face of the AcoustiFX. The characteristic
controlled by a parameter varies from effect to effect.
