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.
OCTAVE 10-14
Settings
10
and
11
give the purest octave effect. Settings
12
through
14
also have foldback and can get pretty strange. Dial down the guitar vol-
ume 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 distor-
tion 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
MWB
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
EQ
Amount, Clean Mix, and Distortion Mix knobs still apply. The
most common use for this setting is to have a preset that gives you
clean signal boost with some
EQ
. This is also useful for when you want
to morph from a clean sound to a distorted sound using an expression
pedal. (See Morphing section.)
