DE-10 Owner’s Manual

• DISTORTION

DIST-1 (Distortion)

: You can get a hard distortion like driving a three-stacked amplifier.

DIST-2 (Rhythm)

: You can get a slight distortion when picking the guitar strongly.

DIST-3 (Over Drive)

: You can get a smooth distortion like driving a tube amplifier.

DIST-4 (Acoustic)

: You can get an electric-acoustic guitar sound.

DIST-5 (Blues)

: You can get a fat overdrive sound.

DIST-6 (Fuzz)

: You can get a rough sound with a fat low frequency range.

DIST-7 (Lead)

: You can get a bright and smooth distortion.

• AMP SIM (Amplifier Simulation)

AMP SIM-1 (British 800 Amplifier)

: Simulates the 800-series British tube amplifier, a synonym for “rock.” The king of the rock

sound of the 80’s hard rock and heavy metal. Distorted raging sound.

AMP SIM-2 (Tremo Recti Amplifier)

: Simulates the American combo model amplifier, designed to get high gain sound for the

90’s hard rock and heavy metal. Fat bass and raging distorted sound.

AMP SIM-3 (Metal Panel Recti Amplifier)

: Simulates the amp head of the high gain amp series, same as the Tremo Recti Amplifiers.

Deep and well-separated distortion and heavy sound. Suitable for the metal sound.

AMP SIM-4 (British Class A30 Amplifier)

: Simulates a most popular British sound tube amplifier. The preamp section is designed

using the class A circuit for creating the fat and warm sound. Usually used in the range
between clear and crunch sound, but sometimes used with the higher gain to get a
harder distortion.

AMP SIM-5 (Fat Bass Amplifier)

: Simulates the American combo amplifier designed as a bass amplifier but used by many

guitarists because of its fat presence sound. Suitable for jazz and blues with its clear and
crunch sound, however, because you can get a raging distortion that you cannot expect
from an ordinary bass amplifier when raising the gain. It can be used for a wide range of
genres.

AMP SIM-6 (Kick)

: You can distort a kick sound appropriately.

AMP SIM-7 (Snare 1)

: You can distort a snare sound appropriately.

AMP SIM-8 (Snare 2)

: You can distort a snare sound excessively.

AMP SIM-9 (Voice 1)

: You can get a smooth distortion.

AMP SIM-10 (Voice 2)

: You can get a boomy and bright distortion.

AMP SIM-11 (Radio Voice)

: You can get a bullhorn sound.

[EFFECT 1_ADJUST]

knob (PARAM.1): Adjust the Distortion Gain.

[EFFECT 2_ADJUST]

knob (PARAM.2): Adjust the Distortion Output Level.

[EFFECT 2_MIX]

knob (PARAM.3):

Adjust the Gate Threshold.

• MIC SIM (Microphone Simulation)

MIC SIM-1 (Trad Condenser 3k, Low Cut: Off)

: Simulates the sound of a multipurpose professional condenser microphone with a large

diaphragm. Its warm and transparent sound is suitable for a vocal, as well as a drum
overhead or guitar amplifier.

MIC SIM-2 (Trad Condenser 3k, Low Cut: On)

: Simulates the sound of “MIC SIM-1” above with the Low Cut switch to On. You can

suppress boosted low frequencies as a result from placing a microphone in close
proximity to the signal source.

MIC SIM-3 (Trad Condenser 414, Low Cut: Off)

: Simulates the sound of one of the most popular condenser microphones in professional

studios together with the Classic condenser 87. You can get a high-fidelity clean sound of
an acoustic piano.

MIC SIM-4 (Trad Condenser 414, Low Cut: 150Hz) : Simulates the sound of “MIC SIM-3” above with the Low Cut switch to On. You can

suppress boosted low frequencies.

MIC SIM-5 (Trad Dynamic 112)

: Simulates the sound of a dynamic microphone suitable for a kick. You can get a clean and

powerful sound by applying it to a kick or bass. It has a slightly boosted low frequencies.

MIC SIM-6 (German Dynamic 421)

: Simulates the sound of a dynamic microphone which is frequently used for recording a

tom-tom. Suitable for recording a skin percussion because of its powerful attack feeling
with a high frequency peak.

MIC SIM-7 (German Dynamic 421, Low Cut: 2)

: Simulates the sound of “MIC SIM-6” above with the Low Cut switch to On. You can

suppress boosted low frequencies more than “MIC SIM-6”.

MIC SIM-8 (German Dynamic 421, Low Cut: SPE) : Simulates the sound of “MIC SIM-6” above with the Low Cut switch to On (SPE). You can

considerably suppress boosted low frequencies. Suitable for a speech.

MIC SIM-9 (Modern Condenser 2)

: Simulates the sound of a modern condenser microphone which has a wider dynamic

range and bright sound. It offers a warm tube sound, making a vocal or acoustic guitar as
if it were recorded by a condenser microphone.

MIC SIM-10 (Vintage Condenser 47)

: Simulates a professional tube microphone with a large diaphragm that offers clean and

dry sound. Suitable for an acoustic guitar and brass.

MIC SIM-11 (Vintage Condenser 87, Low Cut: Off) : Simulates the sound of a classic and historic model used for vocals and strings

frequently in professional studios. Provides outstanding warm sound among condenser
microphones.
