Guitar Effects
Acoustic Resonance adjusts the body resonance of an acoustic
guitar. Reverb adds the reverberation that is characteristic of
a performance in a hall. Notch suppresses acoustic feedback.
Chorus and a variety of other effects (such as tremolo, phaser,
and delay) can also be applied.
p. 8 Vocal Effects
You can add harmony to the vocal that you sing while playing guitar.
Enhance sharpens the outline of your voice. Pitch Correct
compensates for inaccuracies in pitch. Reverb adds the acoustic
character of a performance in a hall. Effects (such as electric voice
and radio voice) can also be applied.
p. 10
Output (Mixer)

You can record your vocal and guitar separately, and play back the recording as a
loop.
