MR-8mkII Owner’s Manual (Using effects)
The [INPUT A] channel of the MR-8mkII provides two types of insert effects: microphone and
amplifier simulation effects. These effects can be used during recording.
These effects simulate popular microphones and guitar amplifiers. If you use the microphone
simulation effect when you record an acoustic guitar through your microphone, you can make
recording as if you are using a famous microphone. If you use the guitar amplifier simulation
effect when you record an electric guitar directly connected to the MR-8mkII, you can make
recording as if you are using a famous guitar amplifier.
Note that you cannot get exactly the same sound as the original microphone/guitar amplifier by
using simulation effects.
You can use mic simulation effects when the [INPUT A SELECT] switch on the rear panel is set to
"MIC/LINE".
By pressing the appropriate key, you can
choose from among three mic simulation ef-
fects: DYNAMIC, CONDENSER and TUBE (the
indicator of the key lights up). • Details of each mic simulation effect

You can use mic simulation effects when the [INPUT A SELECT] switch on the rear panel is set to
"GUITAR". When the switch is set to "GUITAR", you can also use the distortion (adjusted by the
[DISTORTION] control), as well as the insert effects.
