Wildfire Basics
Benefits of an On-Board Effect Processor
If you use guitar effects, you probably do so by linking
pedals together into a chain or by using a multi-effect
processor. All this extra equipment can cost a fortune
and crowd your playing space. The Wildfire, however,
simplifies things because it includes all the effects you
need right in your amplifier. Instead of tripping over
extra wires and turning knobs and pushing buttons on
pedal after pedal, with the Wildfire you have full control
over dozens of effects without the need for an external
processor!
Effect Modules
If you were to think of the Wildfire’s effect processor as
a series of individual pedals linked together, then each
pedal in that series would be considered an effect
module. The Wildfire has nine separate effect modules,
as shown below:
You can assign one effect to each of these modules and
adjust its parameters accordingly. For more on the
Wildfire’s effect modules, see chapter 10.
Effect Types
When we use the word “effect” in this manual, we’re
usually referring to an effect type. Each module provides
you with a selection of effect types, only one of which
may be chosen for each module. For example, the DIST
module allows you to select which type of distortion you
want (ACOUSTIC, TUBE CLEAN, RHYTHM and
others). The behavior of each of these effect types may
be adjusted in one or more ways to produce variations
of the effect.
