EFFECTS
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.
The limiter attenuates loud input levels to prevent distortion.
ON/OFF
Switches the COMP/LM on/off.
* Turning [VALUE] will select PRESET.
TYPE
Select either compressor or limiter.
COMP (compressor):
The effect will function as a compressor.
LIMITER:
The effect will function as a limiter.
● When “COMP” is selected as the type
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.
● When “LIMITER” is selected as the
type
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.
The wah effect creates a unique tone by changing the
frequency response of a filter. Pedal wah lets you use an
Expression pedal or the like to obtain real-time control of the
wah effect. Auto wah creates an automatic wah by cyclically
changing the filter, or by changing the filter in response to
the volume of the input.
ON/OFF
Switches the WAH on/off.
* Turning [VALUE] will select PRESET.
TYPE
Either “PEDAL WAH” or “AUTO WAH” can be selected.
PEDAL WAH:
The effect will function as a pedal wah.
AUTO WAH:
The effect will function as an auto wah.
● When “PEDAL WAH” is selected as
the type
FREQ (frequency) [0–100]
This adjusts the center frequency of the Wah effect.
LEVEL [0–100]
Adjusts the volume.
SET PDL (setting pedal)
Assign the Wah function to the built-in EXP pedal.
● When “AUTO WAH” is selected as
the type
MODE
Selection for the wah mode.
LPF (low pass filter):
This creates a wah effect over a wide frequency range.
BPF (band pass filter):
This creates a wah effect in a narrow frequency
POLARITY
Selection for the direction in which the filter will change in
response to the input.
DOWN:
The frequency of the filter will rise.
UP: The frequency of the filter will fall.
COMP/LM (COMPRESSOR/LIMITER) WAH
