Parameters

Simulates the ambient character of sound picked up with a 
microphone. Higher values result in greater simulated distance 
between the guitar and the microphone.

oF 

Sets the AIR parameter to OFF.

AIR

Allows choosing one out of eight different effects that shape the 
sound in various ways. The effect intensity can also be adjusted. 

RICH CHORUS 

Generates a deep, rich sounding chorus. Higher values result in 
stronger chorus effect.

PEDAL RICH CHORUS

           Allows using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to 
the CONTROL IN jack to adjust the mixing ratio of the RICH 
CHORUS effect.

LIGHT CHORUS 

Generates a light chorus with soft modulation. Higher values result 
in stronger chorus effect. 

PEDAL LIGHT CHORUS

           Allows using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to 
the CONTROL IN jack to adjust the mixing ratio of the LIGHT 
CHORUS effect.

12-STRING

Produces an effect resembling the sound of a 12-string guitar. Larger 
values result in a stronger effect.

PEDAL 12-STRING

           Allows using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the 
CONTROL IN jack to adjust the intensity of the 12-STRING effect.

EFFECT

DOUBLING

Creates a doubling effect like two players playing the same tune with 
a slight shift. Higher values result in larger shift between original 
sound and effect sound.

PEDAL DOUBLING

           Allows using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the 
CONTROL IN jack to adjust the intensity of the DOUBLING effect. 

TOUCH

This effect aligns the picking touch. Higher values result in distinct 
notes even with soft picking. 

PEDAL TOUCH

           Allows using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to 
the CONTROL IN jack to adjust the intensity of the TOUCH effect. 

EMPHASIZER

This effect adds higher harmonics to emphasize the sound character. 
Higher values result in more dazzling sound.

PEDAL EMPHASIZER

           Allows using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the 
CONTROL IN jack to adjust the intensity of the EMPHASIZER effect. 

DRY MIX

Mixes the original guitar sound to the signal after passing the AIR 
parameter. Lower values result in stronger AIR parameter influence 
and higher values result in stronger original sound. 

PEDAL DRY MIX 

           Allows using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to 
the CONTROL IN jack to adjust the mixing balance between the 
signal after passing the AIR parameter and the original sound. 

The actual sound that will be produced by this effect depends on 
the settings made for the various parameters before the AIR 
parameter. If the sound after the AIR parameter and the original 
sound is not very different, the effect will be weak.
