The function of each parameter
Section 4
STEP
This can be used to cause the sound to change in a stepped
manner. Increasing the value will make the change finer. If
this is “OFF,” step will have no effect.
LEVEL
This adjusts the volume of the phaser.
PICKUP SIM
(Pickup Simulator)
This produces the sound of different types of pickup. You
can produce thick humbucking-style sounds even with a
single-coil guitar.
This effect can be used in the “GUITAR MULTI 2” algorithm
when the SFX “SELECT” parameter is set to “PIC.”
* For details on SFX settings, refer to “About SFX” (p.48).
TYPE
Select the type of pickup.
‘S’ to ‘H’ (single to hum):
This converts the sound of a single coil pickup to the sound
of a humbucking pickup.
‘H’ to ‘S’ (hum to single):
This converts the sound of a humbucking pickup to the
sound of a single coil pickup.
‘H’ to ‘HF’ (hum to half-tone):
This converts the sound of a humbucking pickup to the half-
tone sound of a single-coil pickup.

A chord can be input with a normal pitch shifter. The

but the modulation is lessened in the same order.

Provides reverse sound. Response is fast; reverse time is
short.
INV2:
Provides reverse sound. Response is slow; reverse time is

PITCH
Adjusts the amount of pitch shift (the amount of pitch
change) in semitone steps.
FINE
Make fine adjustments to the pitch shift.
* The amount of the change in the Fine “100” is equivalent to that
of the Pitch “1.”

sounds.
