Effect Name Explanation
CHORUS FLANGER PHASER
UNI-V
Frequency band division is employed to produce two different choruses, one for low frequencies and one for higher frequencies. This allows you to achieve a more natural chorus sound. The flanging effect gives a twisting, jetairplane-like character to the sound. By adding varied-phase portions to the direct sound, the phaser effect gives a whooshing, swirling character to the sound. This models a Uni-Vibe. Although this resembles a phaser effect, it also provides a unique undulation that you can't get with a regular phaser.

AUTO WAH
PEDAL WAH GRAPHIC EQ
(Graphic Equalizer)
Explanation
Tremolo is an effect that creates a cyclic change in volume. This effect creates vibrato by slightly modulating the pitch. This produces an effect like the sound of a rotary speaker. This creates a bell-like sound by ringmodulating the guitar sound with the signal from the internal oscillator. The sound can be unmusical and lack distinctive pitches. This produces a volume-swell effect ("violin-like" sound). This consecutively interrupts the sound to create the impression that a rhythm backing phrase is being played. 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. The limiter attenuates loud input levels to prevent distortion. You can produce a wah effect with the filter changing in response to the guitar level. This changes the filtering over a periodic cycle, providing an automatic wah effect. This lets you produce a pedal wah effect. Adjusts the tone. You can adjust the sound character in ten bands.

This effect reduces the noise and hum picked up by guitar pickups. Since it suppresses the noise in synchronization with the envelope of the guitar sound (the way in which the guitar sound decays over time), it has very little effect on the guitar sound, and does not harm the natural character of the sound.
Parameter Value Explanation
ON/OFF
OFF, ON
THRESHOLD 0100
Turns this effect on/off. Adjust this parameter as appropriate for the volume of the noise. If the noise level is high, a higher setting is appropriate. If the noise level is low, a lower setting is appropriate.
* High settings for the threshold parameter may result in there being no sound when you play with your guitar volume turned down.

Parameter RELEASE
Value 0100
Explanation
Adjusts the time from when the noise suppressor begins to function until the noise level reaches "0."
