Editing the Effects
When you press an effect button (such as the [DRIVE] button) to turn the effect on, the effect edit screen appears.
Turn the [CTRL 1]–[CTRL 3] knobs while the effect edit screen is displayed to edit the main parameters of the effect.
You may be able to access the sub-parameters by holding down the [VALUE] knob, depending on the effect. Turn the [CTRL 1]–
[CTRL 3] knobs to edit the sub-parameters of the effect.
Locking the effect edit screen
Although the effect edit screen displays when you press an effect button, the screen normally returns to the previous screen if you
don’t operate any controls for several seconds.
You can use the following operation if you want to make the effect edit screen keep displaying.
1. While holding down the [REMAIN] button, press an effect button (such as the [DRIVE] button).
The effect edit screen appears. Even if you don’t operate the unit for a while after this, the unit does not return to the
previous screen.
The display switches between main parameters and sub-parameters each time you press the [VALUE] knob, depending on
the effect.
2. To finish making setting, press the [EXIT] button or the [REMAIN] button.
About the effect parameter save specifications and sharing
The main parameters of the effects assigned to BUS 1 and BUS 2 are restored to their default values when you turn off the power
(in other words, any changes are not saved).
Parameters that are retained even after you turn off the power of this unit are shown below.
Bus to which effects are assigned Main parameters Sub-parameters
INPUT (INPUT FX)
µ µ
BUS 1 (Not saved)
BUS 2
BUS 3
µ µ
BUS 4
The effect parameters on this unit are shared in common with some buses to which effects are assigned.
For instance, the sub-parameters of effects assigned to INPUT, BUS 1 and BUS 2 are shared in common. For this reason, when you
assign the same effect to INPUT and BUS 1 and then change the INPUT FX sub-parameters, the BUS 1 sub-parameters become the
same values.
The effect parameters are likewise shared between BUS 3 and BUS 4 as well.
