n CRY
This Effect Type is a unique Auto-Wah effect in which every tone of the sound changes
according to the strength of the picking attack. This can also give a talking-wah-type
effect to the sound.
[Parameter]
(1) SENS (Sense): 0 to 10
This parameter determines the sensitivity of the Wah effect to the input
signal. The higher this parameter value is, the deeper the Wah effect is
obtained even with light picking.
(2) DIR (Direction): 0 to 1
This parameter determines the direction of the tone change. Selecting 0
(up) moves the peak of the sound towards higher frequencies, while
selecting 1 (down) moves it towards lower frequencies. When set to 0
(up), an effect of talking modulation is obtained.
Helpful hint:
The effect of auto-Wah depends highly on the Effect Type of distortion. Pleas try several
combinations with a variety of the Effect Types of distortion.
n METAL (Metallic)
This Effect Type creates a metallic sound by introducing an irregular series of
harmonics, made by applying Amplitude Modulation (ring modulation) of an oscillator
to the direct sound. In addition to this, the Oscillator can be Frequency Modulated (this
produces vibrato) with the LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) in order to change slowly the
metallic sound.
[Parameter]
(1) DEPT (Depth): 0 to 10
This parameter determines the depth of the modulation to the oscillator.
Increasing the value of this parameter gives a slow change to the
metallic sound.
(2) FREQ (Frequency): 0 to 50
This parameter defines the reference oscillation frequency of the
modulator. Changing the value of this parameter gives a change to the
metallic sound
Helpful hint:
To obtain a clear metallic sound, set COMP+DIST to CLEAN (the Effect Type with the
distortion set to off), and play back with a pure tone.
