Advanced Operations (VF80EX)
• Parameters for distortion effects
(Parameter type:
AMP SIMULATION
)
Effect type
No.43
(shown in "Effect type list" on page 49) is
the amp simulation type.
This effect type has 11 parameters as shown below.
1. Type
Selects an amplifier type to be simulated.
Options: Brit800, TremoRect, MetalRect,
ClassA30, Fatman
(default:
Brit800
)
See the table on the right for details
about each type.
2. Amp Gain
3. Bass
Adjusts the distortion gain.
Range: 1 to 15
(The default depends on
the distortion type selected. See the table
on the right.)
4. Middle
Adjusts the low frequency response.
Range: 0 to 10
(default:
10
)
5. Treble
Adjusts the mid frequency response.
Range: 0 to 10
(default:
10
)
6. Presence
Adjusts the high frequency response.
Range: 0 to 10
(default:
10
)
7. Noise Gate
Adjusts the presence (the feeling of be-
ing "up front").
Range: 0 to 10
(default:
0
)
8. Out Level
Turns on or off the noise gate.
Options: OFF, 1 to 99
(default:
OFF
)
9. Delay Time
Sets the output level of the distortion.
Range: 0 to 99
(default:
80
)
10. Feedback
Sets the delay time.
Range: 5 ms to 1200 ms
(default:
250 ms
)
11. Delay Level
Sets the feedback level of the distortion.
Range: 0 to 99
(default:
40
)
Sets the delay level.
Range: 0 to 99
(default:
0
)
Details of each amplifier types
Five guitar amplifier types can be simulated.
Each amplifier type has its own unique character as
described below.
The default distortion gain value depends on the
amplifier type selected.
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.
Tremo Rect 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.
Metal Panel Recti Amplifier
Simulates the amp head of the high
gain amp series, same as the Tremo
Recti Amplifiers. Deep and well-sepa-
rated distortion and heavy sound.
Suitable for the metal sound.
British Class A 30 Amplifier
Simulates a most popular British
sound tube amplifier.
The preamp section is designed us-
ing the class A circuit for creating
the fat and warm sound.
Usually used in the range between
clear and crunch sound, but some-
times used with the higher gain to
get a harder distortion.
Fat Bass Amplifier
Simulates the American combo am-
plifier 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 distor-
tion that you cannot expect from an
ordinary bass amplifier when rais-
ing the gain, It can be used for a wide
range of genres.
