EDIT [EFFECT]
The FS1R features a versatile internal effects system which consists of four independent effect stages: Reverb,
Variation, Insertion, and EQ. The Reverb and Variation stages function as overall effects, while the Insertion stage
functions as an “insertion” effect. See the signal-flow diagrams below for the difference between overall and
insertion effects. The EQ stage affects the overall sound.
Please note that the EFFECT parameters are actually PERFORMANCE parameters in the sense that independent
effect setups can be created for each performance setup. All effect settings apply to the currently selected
performance setup.

Effect Signal Flow
Refer to the diagram on page 13 for an overview of how the FS1R effect stages relate to overall signal flow.
Note that the Reverb and Variation stages are overall effects, in which the amount of signal sent to the effect from
each of the FS1R’S parts is individually controlled by the part RevSend and VarSend parameters (page 26). The
amount of effect signal returned to the overall performance sound is then specified by the Rev Rtn and Var Rtn
parameters (pages 23 and 24).
Rather than a “send-return” type signal flow, the Insertion effect stage is actually “inserted” in the signal path when
the InsEfSw parameters for any of the parts is turned on (page 26).

The reverb effects are essential to give your sound ambience and a sense of dimension, adding warmth and depth
to an otherwise dry sound.
