Chorus and Flanger

are the same for both effects.
Note: You can select CHORUS and FLANGER only in the FX2.

'Feedback' Field

'L/R Sweep Sync' Field
If you set it to ON, the Sweep rate will be set at the same cycle for both the Left and Right. If you set it to OFF, the sweep rate of
the right channel will be set slightly higher than that of the left channel and you can also create a more complicated effect.
Using Master Effects

Editing the Master Effects

4 Band EQ
This is the 4 band EQ (equalizer), which consists of two shelving type EQs for high frequency and low frequency and a 2 band parametric
EQ. With the 4 band EQ, you can boost or lower a specific frequency to control the sound from the stereo out.
Hi Freq, Hi Gain, Lo Freq, Lo Gain
You can set the frequency and the gain of the equalizers for high frequency (Hi freq) and low frequency (Lo freq).
