20. MFX types and parameters
1. Thru
The effect processor is bypassed.
2. Stereo EQ
This is a four-band stereo equalizer (low, mid x 2, high). Stereo
signals (like certain piano sounds) are thus not combined to a
mono signal before being processed.
EQ Low Frequency (200, 400Hz)—Frequency of the low
range you wish to boost or cut.
EQ Low Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the low range.
Negative values reduce the level.
EQ High Frequency (2000, 4000, 8000Hz)—Frequency of
the high range you wish to boost or cut.
EQ High Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the high range.
Negative values reduce the level.
EQ Mid 1 Frequency (200~8000Hz)—Frequency of the
middle range 1 you wish to boost or cut. This is a paramet-
ric EQ band.
EQ Mid 1 Q (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0)—Width of the middle
range 1. Set a higher value for “Q” to narrow the range to
be boosted or cut.
EQ Mid 2 Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of middle range 1.
EQ Mid 2 Frequency (200~8000Hz)—Frequency of the
middle range 2 you wish to boost or cut. This is a paramet-
ric EQ band.
EQ Mid 2 Q (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0)—Width of the middle
range 2. Set a higher value for “Q” to narrow the range to
be boosted or cut.
EQ Mid 2 Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the middle
range 2.
Level (0~127)—Output level. Use this parameter to com-
pensate for exaggerated level differences resulting from
the settings you made.
3. Overdrive
Creates a soft distortion similar to that produced by vacuum
tube amplifiers.
Drive (0~127)—Degree of distortion. Also changes the vol-
ume.
Panpot (L64~0~63R)—Stereo location of the output
sound. This is a mono effect that combines incoming sig-
nals. You can, however, place the processed signal any-
where between the left and right channels.
Amp Simulator Type—Allows you to specify what kind of
guitar amp will be simulated: SMALL: small amp, BUILT-IN:
single-unit type amp, 2-STACK: large double stack amp,
3-STACK: large triple stack amp.
EQ Low Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the low range.
EQ High Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the high range.
Level (0~127)—Output level. Use this parameter to com-
pensate for exaggerated level differences resulting from
the settings you made.
4. Distortion
Produces a more intense distortion than the above. The
parameters are the same as for “3. Overdrive”.
5. Phaser
Adds phase-shifted copy to the original sound and modulates
it.
Phaser Manual (100~8000Hz)—Adjusts the basic fre-
quency that is modulated by the effect.
Phaser Rate (0.05~10.0Hz)—Frequency, i.e. modulation
speed.
Phaser Depth (0~127)—Modulation intensity.
Phaser Resonance (0~127)—Amount of feedback. Higher
values create a rather more “synthetic character”.
Phaser Mix Level (0~127)—Level of the phase-shifted
sound with respect to the original signal.
Panpot (L64~0~63R)—Stereo location of the output
sound. This is a mono effect that combines incoming sig-
nals. You can, however, place the processed signal any-
where between the left and right channels.
Level (0~127)—Output level. Use this parameter to com-
pensate for exaggerated level differences resulting from
the settings you made.
6. Spectrum
Spectrum is a type of filter that modifies the timbre by boost-
ing or cutting the level at specific frequencies.
Spectrum 250Hz Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)
Spectrum 500Hz Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)
Spectrum 1000Hz Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)
Spectrum 1250Hz Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)
Spectrum 2000Hz Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)
Spectrum 3150Hz Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)
Spectrum 4000Hz Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)
Spectrum 8000Hz Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of each
frequency band.
Spectrum Band Width Q (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0)—Simulta-
neously adjusts the width of the adjusted ranges for all the
frequency bands.
Panpot (L64~0~63R)—Stereo location of the output
sound. This is a mono effect that combines incoming sig-
nals. You can, however, place the processed signal any-
where between the left and right channels.
Level (0~127)—Output level. Use this parameter to com-
pensate for exaggerated level differences resulting from
the settings you made.
7. Enhancer
This effect controls the overtone structure of the high fre-
quencies, adding sparkle and tightness to the sound.
Enhancer Sens (0~127)—Sensitivity of the enhancer.
Mix Level (0~127)—Level of the overtones generated by
the enhancer.
EQ Low Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the low range.
EQ High Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the high range.
Level (0~127)—Output level. Use this parameter to com-
pensate for exaggerated level differences resulting from
the settings you made.
8. Auto Wah
This effect controls a filter to create cyclic change in timbre
(an automatic wah effect).
