Section 4
Section 4. Effect guide
Section 4 explains the contents of the algorithms on which
effect sounds are based, the effects that make up each
algorithm, and the parameters of each effect.
About the algorithm list
How an algorithm is organized
The algorithm determines the type of effects and the
structure of the parameters that create the effect sound. The
algorithm list (p.49–90) shows the effects in each algorithm,
and the parameters of each effect.
For details on the parameters of each effect, refer to “The
function of each parameter” (p.91–120).
Parameters
Depending on the algorithm, the same effect may have
different parameters available for adjustment. Note the
available parameters in the “Algorithm list” (p.49–90) as you
make effect settings.
About POSITION
Depending on the algorithm, the locations of SFX (special
effect), MOD (modulation), and PREAMP/SP.SIM (speaker
simulator) can be changed. If this adjustment is available, a
“POSITION” setting will appear. For details on setting this,
refer to “Changing the order of the effects” (p.30).
MOD (modulation)
position can be changed in
• GUITAR MULTI 1
• BASS MULTI
PREAMP/SP.SIM (speaker simulator)
position can be changed in
• GUITAR MULTI 1
• GUITAR MULTI 2
• BASS MULTI
SFX (special effect)
position can be changed in
• GUITAR MULTI 2
* It is not possible to place SFX, MOD, or PREAMP/SP.SIM
after “MASTER.”
About “The function of each
parameter”
The section “The function of each parameter” (p.91) explains
the function of the parameters for each effect listed in the
“Algorithm list.”
The effects are listed in alphabetical order.
About MOD
For MOD (modulation) you can select one of the following
effects.
• Harmonist
• Flanger
• Phaser
• Sub 4band equalizer
• Chorus
• 2 x 2 chorus
• Short delay
• Humanizer
• Vibrato
• Guitar synth
• Ring modulator
• Slicer
• Pitch Shifter
* The effects that can be selected for MOD will depend on the
algorithm. Refer to the “Algorithm list” (p.49–90).
MOD can be used in the following algorithms.
• GUITAR MULTI 1
• BASS MULTI
• KEYBOARD MULTI
• VOCAL MULTI
• ISOLATOR
MOD parameters
MOD provides the following parameters.
For details on the parameters of the selected effect, refer to
“The function of each parameter” (p.91–120).
EFFECT
Turns the MOD effect on/off.
