This effect adds subtle wavering to transform the tone into one
that is broader, thicker, and more beautiful.

volume.

gives a whooshing, swirling character to the sound.

Md MOD DELAY
This is a delay with a pleasant chorus-type effect added to the
delay repeats.
oC OCTAVE Adds sound an octave lower and an octave higher.
SG SLOW GEAR
This removes the attack portion of the signal to create violin-like
sounds.
rM RING MOD
By ring-modulating the guitar sound with the signal from an
internal oscillator, this effect creates a metallic sound that has
no definite pitch.

(screech or whine) that can occur
depending on the position or
surroundings of your guitar and amp.
[PHASE] Button
If acoustic feedback is a problem, first try
pressing the [PHASE] button. Switching the
phase will help suppress acoustic feedback.

adjust the [NOTCH] knob.

suppresses feedback at a higher frequency;
