The compressor is an effect that attenuates loud input levels
and boosts soft input levels, thus evening out the volume to
create sustain without distortion.
ON/OFF
Turns the compressor on/off.
* Turning [VALUE] will select PRESET.
MODE
COMP: The effect will function as a compressor.
LIMITER: The effect will function as a limiter.
● When “COMP” is selected as the
mode
SUSTAIN [0–100]
Adjusts the range (time) over which low-level signals are
boosted. Larger values will result in longer sustain.
ATTACK [0–100]
Adjusts the strength of the picking attack. Larger values will
result in a sharper attack, creating a more clearly defined sound.
TONE [-50–+50]
Adjusts the tone.
LEVEL [0–100]
Adjusts the volume.
CMP BAL (compressor balance) [0–100]
Adjusts the effect depth for the low strings.
● When “LIMITER” is selected as the
mode
THRESHOLD [0–100]
Adjust this as appropriate for the input signal from your
guitar. When the input signal level exceeds this threshold
level, limiting will be applied.
RELEASE [0–100]
This adjusts the time from when the signal level drops below
the threshold until when limiting is removed.
TONE [-50–+50]
Adjusts the tone.
LEVEL [0–100]
Adjusts the volume.
CMP BAL (compressor balance) [0–100]
Adjusts the effect depth for the low strings.
This supports playing technique related to octaves.
ON/OFF
Turns “octave” on/off.
* Turning [VALUE] will select PRESET.
-1OCT 1–6 (-1 octave) [0–100]
This adds sound one octave lower than the original sound.
-2OCT 1–6 (-2 octave) [0–100]
This adds sound two octaves lower than the original sound.
DIR 1–6 (direct) [0–100]
This adjusts the level of the original sound.
This produces a volume-swell effect (“violin-like” sound).
ON/OFF
Switches the slow gear on/off.
* Turning [VALUE] will select PRESET.
RISE TIME [0–100]
This adjusts the time needed for the volume to reach its
maximum from the moment you begin picking.
SENS (sensitivity) [0–100]
This adjusts the sensitivity of the slow gear. When it is set to
a lower value, the effect of the slow gear can be obtained only
with stronger picking, while no effect is obtained with
weaker picking. When the value is set higher, the effect is
obtained even with weak picking.
