SLOW GEAR

This produces a volume-swell effect (“violin-like”

sound).

gear. When it is set to a lower value,

the effect of the slow gear can

be obtained only with a stronger

picking, while no effect is obtained

with a weaker picking. When the

value is set higher, the effect is

obtained even with a weak picking.

RISE TIME

0–100

Adjusts the time needed for the

volume to reach its maximum from

the moment you begin picking.

LEVEL

0–100 Adjusts the volume of the effect

sound.
