Effect Types | 15 14 | Effect Types
MULTI BAND
NORMAL 0-3
These four settings are best for maximum clarity of the individual notes
in a chord. These distortion curves are similar to standard distortions.
FOLDBACK 4-9
The foldback of the distortion curve greatly increases the distortion
components for these settings. The higher numbered effects have more
foldback creating even more distortion. Big chords may not work well.
OCTAVE 10-14
Settings
10 and 11 give the purest octave effect. Settings 12 through 14
also have foldback and can get pretty strange. Unlike classic octave
effects, chords can produce some useful results. Dial down the guitar
volume knob for a different range of sounds.
SINGLE BAND
NORMAL 15-16
These two settings are fairly conventional distortion sounds.
FOLDBACK 17-19
With the entire guitar signal processed through a single foldback
distortion curve, there will be much more intermodulation-type distortion
produced. Long sustained notes and unison bends work great.
OCTAVE 20-22
20 is the purest single band octave effect, and 21 includes some foldback.
EFFECT TYPES
Here are some brief descriptions of the effects included in the MWD Pro.
The EFFECT knob settings are split into two major categories: MULTI
BAND and SINGLE BAND . Where MULTI BAND settings use the band split-
ting discussed in the feature section and the SINGLE BAND settings do
not. Each main category contains 3 sub-categories: NORMAL , FOLDBACK ,
and OCTAVE . For each sub-category, turning the effect knob clockwise
will tend produce more dramatic effects.
CLEAN BOOST/EQ
This setting bypasses the Drive knob and will not provide any distortion.
The Sustain, Mix, and Output knobs still apply although there is no com-
pression. The most common use for this setting is to have a preset that
gives you clean signal boost with some
EQ . The Sustain knob can also be
used for some different tonal options. This is also useful for when you
want to morph from a clean sound to a distorted sound using an expres-
sion pedal. (See Morphing section.)
