Guitar Effects
The DR-880 contains numerous effects created
especially for guitar/bass. The types of effect
used and the order in which they are connected
are specified by several “algorithms.”
Three algorithms are provided: Guitar Multi,
Bass Multi, and Acoustic Multi.
Guitar Multi
This is a multi-effect setup for electric guitar.
Bass Multi
This is a multi-effect setup for bass guitar.
Acoustic Multi
This is a multi-effect setup for acoustic guitar.
The order in which the FX are connected will change to
the appropriate position for the effect that is selected.
Each effect within the algorithm has various
parameters (analogous to the knobs of a compact
effect unit), which you can adjust to vary the
sound. A choice of algorithm and the parameter
settings for each effect are collectively stored as
an “effect patch.”
When you switch effect patches, the
combination of effects, their on/off status, and
the parameter values will all change at the same
time. This means you can change instantly to a
completely different sound.
Effect patches are organized as follows.
Preset patches 1–50
You can temporarily edit the settings of the
preset patches, but can’t write your changes into
memory.
User patches 1–50
These patches can be freely edited and
overwritten.
