Boss Audio Systems Boss CDSM AMP EFFECTS PROCESSOR GT-100 - Manual (Page 15)

EFFECT
15
AC. PROCESSOR
This processor allows you to change the sound produced by the pickup on
an acoustic electric guitar, creating a richer sound similar to that obtained
with a microphone placed close to the guitar .
Parameter Value Explanation
TYPE
Selects the modeling type .
SMALL
This is the sound of a small-bodied acoustic
guitar .
MEDIUM
This is a standard, unadorned acoustic guitar
sound .
BRIGHT This is a bright acoustic guitar sound .
POWER This is a powerful acoustic guitar sound .
BASS -50–+50 Adjusts the low-end balance .
MIDDLE -50–+50 Adjusts the midrange balance .
MIDDLE FREQ 20 .0 Hz–10 .0 kHz
Specifies the frequency range to be adjusted
with Middle .
TREBLE -50–+50 Adjusts the high-end balance .
PRES -50–+50
Adjusts the balance in the extended upper
range .
LEVEL 0–100 Adjusts the volume .
PHASER
By adding varied-phase portions to the direct sound, the phaser effect
gives a whooshing, swirling character to the sound .
Parameter Value Explanation
TYPE
Selects the number of stages that the phaser effect will use .
4 STAGE
This is a four-phase effect . A light phaser
effect is obtained .
8 STAGE
This is an eight-phase effect . It is a popular
phaser effect .
12 STAGE
This is a twelve-phase effect . A deep phase
effect is obtained .
BiPHASE
This is the phaser with two phase shift circuits
connected in series .
RATE
0–100,
BPM –
This sets the rate of the phaser effect .
* When set to BPM, the value of each
parameter will be set according to the
value of the “MASTER BPM” specified for
each patch . This makes it easier to achieve
effect sound settings that match the tempo
of the song .
* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than
the range of allowable settings, it is then
synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4
of that time .
DEPTH 0–100 Determines the depth of the phaser effect .
RESO 0–100
Determines the amount of resonance (feed-
back) . Increasing the value will emphasize
the effect, creating a more unusual sound .
MANUAL 0–100
Adjusts the center frequency of the phaser
effect .
Parameter Value Explanation
STEP RATE
OFF, 0–100,
BPM –
This sets the cycle of the step function that
changes the rate and depth . When it is set
to a higher value, the change will be finer .
Set this to “Off” when not using the Step
function .
* When set to BPM, the value of each
parameter will be set according to the
value of the “MASTER BPM” specified for
each patch . This makes it easier to achieve
effect sound settings that match the tempo
of the song .
* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than
the range of allowable settings, it is then
synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4
of that time .
EFFECT LEVEL 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the phaser .
DIRECT MIX 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound .
FLANGER
The flanging effect gives a twisting, jet-airplane-like character to the
sound .
Parameter Value Explanation
RATE
0–100,
BPM –
This sets the rate of the flanging effect .
* When set to BPM, the value of each
parameter will be set according to the
value of the “MASTER BPM” specified for
each patch . This makes it easier to achieve
effect sound settings that match the tempo
of the song .
* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than
the range of allowable settings, it is then
synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4
of that time .
DEPTH 0–100 Determines the depth of the flanging effect .
RESO 0–100
Determines the amount of resonance (feed-
back) . Increasing the value will emphasize
the effect, creating a more unusual sound .
MANUAL 0–100
Adjusts the center frequency at which to
apply the effect .
SEPARATION 0–100
Adjusts the diffusion . The diffusion increases
as the value increases .
LOW CUT
FLAT,
55 Hz–800 Hz
This sets the frequency at which the low
cut filter begins to take effect . When “Flat” is
selected, the low cut filter will have no effect .
EFFECT LEVEL 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the flanger .
DIRECT MIX 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound .
