On the following pages, some examples of different types of
sounds are shown, along with graphic representations of
how to set the knobs. Since good (or bad) guitar sounds are
a subjective matter, use these examples as starting points to
create your own sounds that meet your specific tastes, or
lack thereof.
ROCK OVERDRIVE
This setting is a rock or a slightly over-driven ska sound. Use
a good hollow body guitar and the juice just starts to flow.
Set the LEVEL to 12 O’clock, the LOW to 2 O’clock, the
HIGH to 12 O’clock , and the DRIVE to 12 O’clock. Take a
trip back to 1965 and play all those old surf favorites.
METAL SOLO
For a standard metal solo sound use the FX102 alone. Turn
the LOW knob to 2 O’clock, turn the HIGH knob to 12
O’clock and turn the LEVEL knob up. Play fast and mean,
and don’t forget the whammy bar dives with pick squeals.
SOLO BOOST
To change the tone and gain of your amp, set it for a good
distortion setting. Next turn the FX102’s LEVEL control up,
turn the LOW control to 9 O’clock , turn the HIGH control to 9
O’clock, and the DRIVE control up. Use the FX102 when
soloing or you just want feedback.
