Amp Simulator
The ES7’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 EFFECTS and REVERB buttons simultaneously.
The amp sim settings menu will be shown in the LCD display.
