DISTORTION
Produces a more intense distortion than overdrive.
Parameter Value Explanation
Drive 0–127
The degree of distortion.
Also changes the volume.
Tone 0–127 Sound quality of the overdrive eect
Amp Sw OFF, ON Turns the Amp Simulator on/o.

Guitar amp type
SMALL: small amp
BUILT-IN: built-in amp
2-STACK: Large two-stack amp
3-STACK: Large three-stack amp
Low Gain -15–+15 [dB] Amount of low range boost/cut
High Gain -15–+15 [dB] Amount of high range boost/cut
Pan L64–R63 Stereo position of the output sound
Level 0–127 Output level
OVERDRIVE
This is an overdrive that provides heavy distortion. The parameters are
the same as for “DISTORTION.”
SATURATOR
A saturator which distorts the sound is connected in parallel with a
compressor, producing a rougher tonal character and boosting the
loudness. This also cuts the low-frequency region of the input audio.
Parameter Value Explanation
Saturator Gain 0–127 Input volume to the saturator
Saturator Drive 0–127 The degree of distortion.
Saturator Level 0–127 Output volume of the saturator
Comp Depth 0–127 Amount of compression
Comp Level 0–127 Output volume of the compressor
Hi Gain -12–+6 [dB] Amount of high range boost/cut
Level 0–127 Output level
T-SCREAM
This models the analog overdrive of the past. It adds a nice amount of
overtones without dirtying the sound.
Parameter Value Explanation
Distortion 0–127
The degree of distortion.
Also changes the volume.
Tone 0–127 Sound quality of the overdrive eect
Level 0–127 Output level
BIT CRUSHER
This creates a lo- sound.
Parameter Value Explanation
Sample Rate 0–127 Sampling frequency
Bit Down 0–18 Bit rate
Filter 0–127 Adjusts the lter depth.
Low Gain -15–+15 [dB] Amount of low range boost/cut
High Gain -15–+15 [dB] Amount of high range boost/cut
Level 0–127 Output level
ISOLATOR
This is an equalizer which cuts the volume greatly, allowing you to add
a special eect to the sound by cutting the volume in varying ranges.
Parameter Value Explanation
Boost/Cut Low
-60–+4 [dB]
The amount of boost/cut at the high, middle,
and low frequency ranges.
At -60 dB, the sound at that frequency band
becomes inaudible. 0 dB is equivalent to the
input level of the sound.
Boost/Cut Mid
Boost/Cut High
Anti Phase Low
Sw
OFF, ON
Turns the Anti-Phase function on/o for the
low frequency ranges.
When turned on, the counter-channel of stereo
sound is inverted and added to the signal.
Anti-Phase Low
Level
0–127
Adjusts the level settings for the anti-phase
low frequency ranges.
With certain level settings, you can achieve an
eect similar to extracting specic parts from
the sound (this works only with stereo input).
Anti Phase Mid
Sw
OFF, ON
Anti-Phase function settings for the middle
frequency ranges.
The parameters are the same as for the low
frequency ranges.
Anti Phase Mid
Level
0–127
Low Boost Sw OFF, ON
Turns Low Booster on/o.
This emphasizes the low-end to create a heavy
bass sound.
Low Boost Level 0–127
Amount of low-end boost.
Depending on the Isolator and lter settings,
this eect may be hard to distinguish.
Level 0–127 Output level
