Creating and saving sounds
You can create a sound either by starting with an existing program that’s close
to what you have in mind and then editing it, or by creating the sound “from
scratch” (i.e., from an initialized state).
Creating a sound
Here’s how to create a sound from scratch.
1. Enter Manual mode.
2. Use the TUNER (BYPASS) switch to bypass the effect (the TUNER (BYPASS)
LEDs will be lit up).
If you want to use an effect, you’ll add it last.
3. Use the AMP switch/selector to select the amp that you want to use.
HINT: For details on the amp models, refer to “Amp models” (p. 22).
4. Adjust the top panel knobs such as GAIN, VOLUME, TREBLE, MIDDLE, and
BASS.
5. Turn the VALUE knob to set the noise reduction. This setting is also saved in
the program. For details, refer to “Adjusting the noise reduction” (p. 15).
HINT: Adjust the noise reduction so that there’s no unwanted noise when
you’re not playing your guitar.
6. Press the TUNER (BYPASS) switch once again to defeat bypass (the TUNER
(BYPASS) LEDs will be dark).
7. Set the effect.
If you plan not to use effects, set the VALUE, DEPTH, and REVERB knobs to
the “OFF” position. If the knobs have already been set to “OFF,” set them to
any position other than “OFF,” then set them back to “OFF.”
If you plan to use effects, select an effect, and adjust it as desired.
For example if you want to add delay, turn the MOD/DELAY selector to
“DELAY.” If the selector is already at “DELAY,” turn it to some other effect
type and then back to “DELAY.”
Use the TAP switch and DEPTH knob to set the delay time or delay level (the
amount of delay sound that is added).
