MOD1/MOD2 TYPE
This is a list of the effects that can be selected for MOD1/MOD2.
Effect name
Explanation
CHORUS
In this effect, a slightly detuned sound is added to the original
sound to add depth and breadth.
2X2 CHORUS
Frequency band division is employed to produce two
different choruses, one for low frequencies and one for higher
frequencies, for both L channel and R channel (for a total of
four). This allows you to achieve a more natural chorus sound.
PHASER
By adding varied-phase portions to the direct sound, the
phaser effect gives a whooshing, swirling character to the
sound.
FLANGER
The flanging effect gives a twisting, jet-airplane-like character
to the sound.
BASS FLANGER
This is a flanger that is tuned for bass.
TREMOLO
Tremolo is an effect that creates a cyclic change in volume.
PAN
With the volume level of the left and right sides alternately
changing, when playing sound in stereo, you can get an effect
that makes the guitar sound appear to fly back and forth
between the speakers.
ROTARY
This produces an effect like the sound of a rotary speaker.
UNI-V
This models the Uni-Vibe.
Although this resembles a phaser effect, it also provides a
unique undulation that you can’t get with a regular phaser.
SLICER
This consecutively interrupts the sound to create the
impression that a rhythm backing phrase is being played.
VIBRATO
This effect creates vibrato by slightly modulating the pitch.
RING MOD
Produces a metallic sound, creating the impression that the
sound is being focused.
CHORUS
Parameter
Value
Explanation
MODE
Selects the chorus mode.
MONO
This chorus effect outputs the same
sound from both L channel and R
channel.
STEREO1
This is a stereo chorus effect that adds
different chorus sounds to L channel
and R channel.
STEREO2
This stereo chorus uses spatial synthesis,
with the direct sound output in L
channel and the effect sound output in
R channel.
RATE
0–100, BPM –
Adjust the speed of the chorus effect for
the high frequency range.
* When set to BPM, the value of each
parameter will be set according to
the value of the “MASTER BPM” (p. 26)
specified for each patch. This makes it
easier to achieve effect sound settings
that match the tempo of the song.
* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer
than the range of allowable settings, it
is then synchronized to a period either
1/2 or 1/4 of that time.
DEPTH
0–100
Adjusts the depth of the chorus effect.
* To use it for doubling effect, set the
value to 0.
E.LEVEL
(EFFECT LEVEL)
0–100
Adjusts the volume of the effect sound.
PRE.DLY
(PRE DELAY)
0.0 ms–40.0 ms
Adjusts the time needed for the effect
sound to be output after the direct
sound has been output.
By setting a longer pre delay time, you
can obtain an effect that sounds like
more than one sound is being played at
the same time (doubling effect).
LOW CUT
FLAT, 20 Hz–800 Hz
This sets the frequency at which the low
cut filter begins to take effect. When
FLAT is selected, the low cut filter will
have no effect.
HIGH CUT
630 Hz–12.5 kHz,
FLAT
This sets the frequency at which the
high cut filter begins to take effect.
When FLAT is selected, the high cut filter
will have no effect.
D.LEVEL
(DIRECT LEVEL)
0–100
Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
100=±0 dB
* If a mono effect or a loop is connected after this effect, the stereo effect is lost.
