Amp Simulator
The ES520’s Amp Simulator (Amp Sim) attempts to reproduce the sound, response, and overdrive characteristics of
a typical amp/speaker combination, giving electric piano and drawbar organ sounds an authentic vintage quality.
Once enabled, the amplifier type can be selected, with adjustable drive, level, and Low/Hi EQ settings. As with the
Reverb and Effects functions, selecting certain sounds will enable the Amp Sim automatically.
1. Turning the Amp Sim on/off
Press the AMP button to turn the Amp Sim on/off.
* If the Dual, Split, or Four Hands mode is selected, no effect is exerted
on the layered sound or lower sound.
