T.WAH (Touch Wah)

You can produce a wah effect with the filter changing in response to
the guitar level.

AUTO WAH

This changes the filtering over a periodic cycle, providing an
automatic wah effect.

OCTAVE

This adds a note one octave lower, creating a richer sound.

*

Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more sounds
played simultaneously) cannot be played.

Parameter/
Range

Explanation

MODE

Selects the wah mode.

LPF
(Low Pass Filter)

This creates a wah effect over a wide fre-
quency range.

BPF
(Band Pass Filter)

This creates a wah effect in a narrow fre-
quency range.

POLARITY

Selects the direction in which the filter will change in response to the
input.

UP

The frequency of the filter will rise.

DOWN

The frequency of the filter will fall.

SENS (Sensitivity)

0–100

Adjusts the sensitivity at which the filter
will change in the direction determined by
the polarity setting.
Higher values will result in a stronger re-
sponse. With a setting of 0, the strength of
picking will have no effect.

FREQ (Frequency)

0–100

Adjusts the center frequency of the Wah ef-
fect.

PEAK

Higher values will produce a stronger tone which emphasizes the
wah effect more.

0–100

Adjusts the way in which the wah effect ap-
plies to the area around the center frequen-
cy. With a value of 50 a standard wah sound
will be produced.

LEVEL

0–100

Adjusts the volume of the effect sound.

DIRECT LEVEL

0–100

Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

Range

Explanation

MODE

Selects the wah mode.

LPF
(Low Pass Filter)

This creates a wah effect over a wide fre-
quency range.

BPF
(Band Pass Filter)

This creates a wah effect in a narrow fre-
quency range.

FREQ (Frequency)

0–100

Adjusts the center frequency of the Wah ef-
fect.

PEAK

0–100

Adjusts the amount of wah effect applied in
the range near the reference frequency.
Higher values will produce a stronger tone
which emphasizes the wah effect more.
With a value of 50 a standard wah sound
will be produced.

RATE

0–100,

BPM

–BPM

Adjusts the frequency (speed) of the change.

When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according
to the value of the BPM (p. 163) specified for each patch. This makes
it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the
song.

* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than the range of allowable

settings, it is then synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of that
time.

DEPTH

0–100

Adjusts the depth of the effect.

LEVEL

0–100

Adjusts the volume of the effect sound.

DIRECT LEVEL

0–100

Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

Parameter/
Range

Explanation

string) to E6 (corresponds to the 1st string
played at the 24th fret)

RANGE2

string) to E5 (corresponds to the 1st string
played at the 12th fret)

RANGE3

B1 (corresponds to the sound of an open 7th
string) to E4 (corresponds to the sound of an
open 1st string)

RANGE4

string) to E3 (corresponds to the 4th string
played at the 2nd fret)

OCTAVE LEVEL

0–100

Adjusts the volume of the sound one octave
below.

DIRECT LEVEL

0–100

Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
