GUITAR SIM
Simulation of the characteristics of particular guitar components such as
pickups and different guitar bodies allows you to switch among a number
of different guitar types all while using a single guitar .
Parameter Value Explanation
TYPE
Selects the type of the guitar simulator .
S g H
Changes from a single-coil pickup tone to a
humbucking pickup tone .
H g S
Changes from a humbucking pickup tone to
a single-coil pickup tone .
H g HF
Changes from a humbucking pickup tone to
a single-coil pickup half tone .
S g HLW (HOLLOW)
Changes a single-coil pickup tone to a hollow
body tone with the body resonance added .
H g HLW
Changes a humbucking pickup tone to a
hollow body tone with the body resonance
added .
S g AC
Changes a single-coil pickup tone to an
acoustic guitar tone .
H g AC
Changes a humbucking pickup tone to an
acoustic guitar tone .
P g AC
Changes a piezo pickup tone to an acoustic
guitar tone .
LOW -50–+50 Adjusts the tone for the low frequency range .
HIGH -50–+50
Adjusts the tone for the High frequency
range
LEVEL 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the effect sound .
BODY 0–100
Adjusts the way the body sounds when TYPE
is set to S g HLW, H g HLW, S g AC, H g AC
or P g AC .
The body sound increases as the value is
raised; reducing the value produces a tone
similar to that from a piezo pickup .
SLOW GEAR
This produces a volume-swell effect (“violin-like” sound) .
Parameter Value Explanation
SENS 0–100
Adjusts the sensitivity of the slow gear . When
it is set to a lower value, the effect of the slow
gear can be obtained only with a stronger
picking, while no effect is obtained with a
weaker picking . When the value is set higher,
the effect is obtained even with a weak
picking .
RISE TIME 0–100
Adjusts the time needed for the volume to
reach its maximum from the moment you
begin picking .
LEVEL 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the effect sound .
DEFRETTER
This simulates a fretless guitar .
Parameter Value Explanation
SENS 0–100
This controls the input sensitivity of the
defretter .
DEPTH 0–100 This controls the rate of the harmonics .
TONE -50–+50
Adjusts the amount of blurring between the
notes .
EFFECT LEVEL 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the effect sound .
ATTACK 0–100 Adjusts the attack of the picking sound .
RESO 0–100
Adds a characteristically resonant quality to
the sound .
DIRECT MIX 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound .
WAVE SYNTH
This is a synth sound that processes the guitar input signal .
* When you use a wave synthesizer, observe the following points .
• Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more sounds
played simultaneously) cannot be played . Be sure to mute all the
other strings and play only one note at a time .
• When you are to play the next string while a certain sound is still
playing, mute the previous sound and then play the next one with
a clear attack . If the unit cannot detect the attack, it may not sound
correctly .
• The sensitivity may vary according to the guitar’s TONE knob and
pickup type .
Parameter Value Explanation
WAVE
Selects a wave type which the synth sound is based .
SAW
Creates a synth sound with a saw waveform
( ) .
SQUARE
Creates a synth sound with the square
waveform ( ) .
CUTOFF 0–100
Adjusts the frequency where the harmonics
contents of the sound are cut off .
RESO 0–100
This adjusts the amount of resonance (and
the tone coloration) in the synth sound . The
higher the value, the more the synth tone
coloration is emphasized .
FILTER SENS 0–100
This adjusts the amount of filtering applied in
response to the input .
FILTER DECAY 0–100
This sets the time needed for the filter to
finish its sweep .
FILTER DEPTH 0–100
Adjusts the depth of the filter . When the
value is higher, the filter will change more
drastically .
SYNTH LEVEL 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the synth sound .
DIRECT MIX 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound .
