Usage of Guitar Multi 1 through 3
The basic configuration is almost identical for all of Guitar-Multi 1 through 3. The only difference is the type of
the second effect (heavy metal, distortion, and overdrive). Select Guitar Multi 1 to add severe distortion to the
sound, and select Guitar Multi 3 for soft distortion as that achieved with the vacuum tube amplifier.
Adding Wah effect by changing input volume
Typically, Auto-Wah provides an automatic wah effect at the cycle set with Rate (Rate).
Alternatively, you can give wah effect according to changes of input volume. For example, you can apply the wah
effect so that it reflects changes in picking on the guitar. First, adjust sensitivity for changes in input volume by
using Sense (Sens). Set it to a larger value for finer subtlety. After that, you simply dedde the direction into which
the filter should be moved by entering a setting for Polarity (Pol).

Compressors used in Guitar Muiti 1 through 3
Compressors used in Guitar Multi 1 through 3 are designed to accommodate playing of the guitar, providing a
slightly different effect from ordinary compressors. Compressors for the guitar unifies volumes by suppressing
signals at high levels and enhancing signals at low levels.
Unlike these, ordinary compressors simply suppress signals at high levels.
