Linking Effects

The patches of the A2.1u can be thought of as eight serially linked effect modules, as shown in the
illustration below. You can use all effect modules together or selectively set certain modules to off to use
just specific effect modules.

For some effect modules, you can select an effect
type from several possible choices. For example,
the MOD/EFX module comprises CHORUS,
FLANGER, and other effect types from which
you can choose one. The MODEL module is an
effect for simulating the sound of various types of
acoustic guitars. Switching effect types here
means selecting different guitar body sounds.

CONTROL module and

GLOBAL module

Besides the above modules, the A2.1u also
incorporates a CONTROL module and GLOBAL
module. The CONTROL module comprises
settings such as expression pedal and foot switch
function allocation, as well as the master level
that applies to all patches.

The GLOBAL module lets you optimize the
A2.1u characteristics to fit the requirements of

pickup and guitar amp. It contains the following
settings.

AMP SELECT

This parameter serves to optimize the frequency
response of the A2.1u to fit the type of amplifier.
It can be helpful to reduce the trebly sound that
can be a problem when playing an acoustic guitar
with a pickup through an amplifier. Settings with
different effect depth are available for Combo,
Stack, and other amp types.

PICKUP SELECT

This parameter serves to optimize the frequency
response of the A2.1u to fit the type of pickup. It
can also be used as a simulator for turning the
sound of an electric guitar into that of an acoustic
guitar.
