Specifications for each Speaker Type
The speaker column indicates the diameter of each speaker unit (in
inches) and the number of units.
Flattens out high levels and boosts low levels, smoothing out
fluctuations in volume.
fig.MFX-40
Compresses signals that exceed a specified volume level, preventing
distortion from occurring.
fig.MFX-41
Cuts the reverb’s delay according to the volume of the sound sent into
the effect. Use this when you want to create an artificial-sounding
decrease in the reverb’s decay.
