Effect Types

 

 

MULTI BAND

NORMAL 0-3

These four settings are best for maximum clarity of the individual notes 
in a chord. These distortion curves are similar to standard distortions.

FOLDBACK 4-9

The foldback of the distortion curve greatly increases the distortion 
components for these settings. The higher numbered effects have more 
foldback creating even more distortion.  

OCTAVE 10-14

Settings 10 and 11 give the purest octave effect. Settings 12 through 14 
also have foldback and can get pretty strange. Dial down the guitar vol-
ume knob for a different range of sounds.

SINGLE BAND

NORMAL 15-16

These two settings are fairly conventional distortion sounds.

FOLDBACK 17-19

With the entire guitar signal processed through a single foldback distor-
tion curve, there will be much more intermodulation-type distortion 
produced. Long sustained notes and unison bends work great.

OCTAVE 20-22

20

 is the purest single band octave effect, and 21 includes some foldback.

EFFECT TYPES

Here are some brief descriptions of the effects included in the MWB Pro. 
The EFFECT knob settings are split into two major categories: MULTI 
BAND

 and SINGLE BAND. Where MULTI BAND settings use the band split-

ting discussed in the feature section and the SINGLE BAND settings do 
not. Each main category contains 3 sub-categories: NORMAL, FOLDBACK, 
and OCTAVE. For each sub-category, turning the effect knob clockwise 
will tend produce more dramatic effects.  

CLEAN BOOST/EQ

This setting bypasses the Drive knob and will not provide any distortion. 
The EQ Amount, Clean Mix, and Distortion Mix knobs still apply. The  
most common use for this setting is to have a preset that gives you 
clean signal boost with some EQ. This is also useful for when you want 
to morph from a clean sound to a distorted sound using an expression 
pedal. (See 

Morphing

 section.)
