WAVE SYNTH This is a synth sound that processes the guitar input signal.

OCTAVE This adds a note one octave lower, creating a richer sound.

HEAVY OCTAVE This adds sound lowered by an octave to the original sound. Since you can play chords even when using this effect, you can use it to fatten the sound of your chordal playing as well.

PITCH SHIFTER This effect changes the pitch of the original sound (up or down) within a range of two octaves.

HARMONIST Harmonist is an effect where the amount of shifting is adjusted according to an analysis of the guitar input, allowing you to create harmony based on diatonic scales.

DEPTH 0100 Adjusts the amount of depth in the rotary effect.

LEVEL 0100 Adjusts the volume.

RING MOD The sound can be unmusical and lack distinctive pitches.

Parameter Value Explanation

MODE

This selects the mode for the ring modulator.

NORMAL This is a normal ring modulator.

INTELLIGENT

By ring-modulating the input signal, a bell like sound is created. The intelligent ring modulator changes the oscillation frequency according to the pitch of the input sound and therefore produces a sound with the sense of pitch, which is quite different from NORMAL. This effect does not give a satisfactory result if the pitch of the guitar sound is not correctly detected. So, you must use single notes, not chords.

FREQUENCY 0100 Adjusts the frequency of the internal oscillator.

EFFECT LEVEL 0100 Adjusts the volume of the effect sound.

DIRECT MIX 0100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

SLOW GEAR This produces a volume-swell effect (violin-like sound).

Parameter Value Explanation

SENS 0100

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 0100 Adjusts the time needed for the volume to reach its maximum from the moment you begin picking.

LEVEL 0100 Adjusts the volume of the effect sound.

SLICER This consecutively interrupts the sound to create the impression that a rhythm backing phrase is being played.

RATE 0100 Adjust the rate at which the sound will be cut.

TRIGGER SENS 0100

Adjust the sensitivity of triggering.

With low settings of this parameter, softly picked notes will not retrigger the phrase (i.e., the phrase will continue playing), but strongly picked notes will retrigger the phrase so that it will playback from the beginning. With high settings of this parameter, the phrase will be retriggered even by softly picked notes.

EFFECT LEVEL 0100 Adjusts the volume of the effect sound.

DIRECT MIX 0100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.

COMP This is an effect that produces a long sustain by evening out the volume level of the input signal. You can also use it as a limiter to suppress only the sound peaks and prevent distortion.

Parameter Value Explanation

TYPE
