Transforming Your Voice
Applying an Effect
1. Connect your mic to the MIC IN jack (front or rear).
* If you connect a condenser mic to the MIC IN jack (rear) via an XLR
connector, turn the [PHANTOM] switch on.
2. Turn the [BYPASS] button on.
3. While vocalizing into the mic, use the [MIC SENS] knob to
adjust the input sensitivity.
Adjust the sensitivity so that the PEAK indicator lights occasionally.
* Adjust the input sensitivity accurately. If the mic input level is too
low or too high, the effect won’t work correctly.
4. Press a scene memory button to recall a scene (p. 6).
5. Turn the [BYPASS] button off.
6. Vocalize into the mic.
Your voice processed by the effect is output.
* When inputting voice into the mic, input the voice of only one
person. If multiple voices are input, the effect won’t work correctly.
* Take care that sound from the speaker does not enter the mic.
MEMO
If feedback occurs, set the noise gate (p. 7).
Editing the Effect
1. Press the [MANUAL] button.
You can press a scene memory button to recall a saved effect, and
then edit those effect settings (p. 6).
2. Use the controllers (buttons, knobs, sliders) to edit the
effect settings.
