ADD EFFECTS
VIBRATO & CHORUS
“Vibrato and Chorus” slightly changes the Drawbar pitch at a certain ratio and add warmth to the
sound.
[UPPER] Button
Switches on and off the Vibrato effect. The LED turns on when it is ON.
[VIBRATO & CHORUS MODE] Knob
Controls the Vibrato Depth and switches to and from the Chorus effect.
The degree of the depth corresponds with the number. Also “V” adds only Vibrato sound by
changing the pitch, “C” mixes Vibrato and original sound (= Chorus Effect) and adds richness to
the sound.
NOTE: You can finely adjust the rotation speed etc. of the Vibrato/Chorus. (P. 76)
OVERDRIVE The overdrive effect simulates the effect of applying an excessively high signal to the amplifiers
input which causes distortion of the sound.
[TUBE AMP] Button
Press this button to switch on the LED, and get the Overdrive Effect.
[TUBE OVERDRIVE] Knob
This knob controls the degree of distortion.
NOTE: The LED for the TUBE AMP Button varies the color according to the distortion
degree. When it is through the TUBE AMP without distortion, it is green. It goes red
when the distortion degree increases.
NOTE: You can finely adjust the Overdrive Effect. (P. 78)
LESLIE
The rotor and the rotating horns produce the effect of the spatial and dynamic and lively theater
stage performance.
[LESLIE ON] Button
Touch “ON” to switch on the LED.
[LESLIE FAST] Button
This button controls the rotor at two different speeds. When the LED is ON, it is FAST. When
the LED is OFF, it is SLOW. The most effective and popular way to use this is to mainly play
SLOW and lead to the climax by changing to FAST.
[LESLIE BRAKE] Button
This is to set the action when the LESLIE ON Button is OFF.
When the LED is ON, BRAKE is on. The rotation gradually slows down and stops finally).
When the light is OFF, it is THROUGH. The Leslie effect is by-passed.
NOTE: You can control the rotors by these buttons when you connect the LESLIE to the
external equipment.
NOTE: You can finely adjust the rotation speed etc. of the internal LESLIE Effect. (P. 72)
REVERB
This gives the reverberation effect of being in a concert-hall.
[REVERB] Button
To get the Reverb Effect, touch the button and switch on the LED.
NOTE: You can finely control time etc. of Reverb. (P. 81)
