Chapter 8—Insert Effect Parameters
To access the Parameters described on this page (unless otherwise noted):
Press Effects, turn the Parameter knob to select Insert Effect, and press Enter. Turn the Parameter
knob to select the parameter, and use the Value knob to change the parameter's Setting.

Dly2 Level Off, -49.5dB to +12.0dB Adjusts the volume of the delayed signal against the original dry signal.
Dly2 Feedback -99% to +99% Determines the amount of signal that will be fed from the output back
into the input, increasing the number of repeats in the delay.
Dly2 Damping 100Hz to 21.2kHz Controls the cutoff of a low pass filter on the feedback signal, which
adjusts the amount of damping to the feedback signals. The higher the
number, the more the signals are damped.

Parameter Range Description
Dist Gain Off, -49.5dB to +48dB Controls the gain going into the distortion effect. This will boost the
signal level up to 48 dB. For more distortion, use a high input level gain
and turn the Distortion Volume down to keep the volume under control.
For less distortion, use a low gain input level and a higher output
volume.
Dist Volume Off, -49.5dB to 0.0dB Controls the volume of the distortion effect. Generally, if the Distortion
Gain is set high, set this parameter lower.
Dist LPF Fc 10Hz to 20.0kHz Filters out high frequencies prior to the distortion.
Post VCF Fc 10Hz to 7.10kHz Determines the distortion filter cut off frequency. Higher values have a
brighter sound. This parameter can be modulated, using a CV Pedal for
a wah wah pedal effect.
Post VCF Q 1.0 to 40.0 Determines the level and width of the resonant peak at the filter cutoff
point. While the Fc (filter cutoff) parameter determines where (at what
frequency) this peak will occur, the Q setting controls the presence of
the peak. This setting is important for the auto-wah effect.
Dist Offset -99% to +99% Adjusts the balance of even-to-odd-generated harmonics.
Dist Curve Soft, Medium 1, Medium
2, Hard, Buzz
Selects the type of clipping produced by the distortion. The curves range
from tube-like distortion (Soft) to nasty distortion (Buzz).
Dist Dry Lev Off, -49.5dB to 0.0dB Controls the amount of dry signal to be mixed with the distorted signal.
VCF Input Off, -49.5dB to 0.0dB Trims the input to the formant filter so that clipping does not occur.
VCF Dry Amt Off, -49.5dB to +24dB Controls the level of the distortion/DDL signal to be mixed with the
output of the formant filter.

AO, EH, ER, IH, IY, UH,
UW, B, D, F, G, J, K, L,
M, N, P, R, S, T, V, Z
Selects the first shape of the formant filter.
Shape 2 A, E, I, O, U, AA, AE, AH,
AO, EH, ER, IH, IY, UH,
UW, B, D, F, G, J, K, L,
M, N, P, R, S, T, V, Z
Selects the second shape of the formant filter.
FormantWarp -12 to +12 semi Shifts all formant frequencies up or down, warping the “size” of the
formant filter.
AutoPan Depth 0% to 100% Controls the depth of the auto-panning function after the formant filter.
LFO Rate 1/1 Sys to 1/32 Sys, 0.0Hz
to 20.0Hz
This parameter controls the rate of pitch modulation which creates a
chorusing effect. To achieve chorusing, this rate must be very low.
