Effect Types and Parameters

C 0

C 9

Combo & ZNR 

Combination of ZNR with amp simulator that recreates the sound of a combo amp with closed-back cabinet. 

The right-digit value controls ZNR sensitivity. 

B 0

B 9

Bright Combo & ZNR

Combination of ZNR with amp simulator that recreates the sound of a bright combo amp with open-back 

cabinet. The right-digit value controls ZNR sensitivity. 

S 0

S 9

Stack & ZNR

Combination of ZNR with amp simulator that recreates the sound of a stack amp cabinet. The right-digit 

value controls ZNR sensitivity. 

MODULATION module 

MODULATION (Type&Prm1)

RATE (Prm2)

Selects the MODULATION module 

effect type and controls parameter 

1 at the same time. 

Controls the value of parameter 2 

of the MODULATION module. The 

parameter action differs, depending 

on the effect type.

C 1

C 9

Chorus 

1

5 0

Rate

This effect mixes a variable pitch-shifted 

component to the original signal. Higher 

right-digit settings result in higher effect 

sound mixing ratio.  

Adjusts the modulation rate.

E 1

E 9

Ensemble 

This is a chorus ensemble with three-

dimensional movement. Higher right-digit 

settings result in higher effect sound mixing 

ratio. 

F 1

F 9

Flanger

1

5 0

Rate 

 

This effect produces a resonating and strongly 

undulating sound. Higher right-digit settings 

emphasize the characteristics of the effect. 

Adjusts the modulation rate.

S 1

S 9

Step

Special effect that changes the sound in a 

staircase pattern. Higher right-digit settings 

emphasize the characteristics of the effect.

1

Shift

This effect shifts the pitch of the original 

sound up or down. Higher right-digit settings 

increase the mixing ratio of the effect sound. 

Sets the pitch shift amount in semitones. "dt" 

results in a detune effect. 

M 1

M 9

Mono Pitch 

This is a monophonic pitch shifter (for 

single-note playing) with reduced flutter. 

Higher right-digit settings increase the 

mixing ratio of the effect sound.

Key

This is an intelligent pitch shifter that 

automatically generates major scale 

harmonies according to a preset key. Higher 

right-digit settings increase the mixing ratio 

of the effect sound. 

Specifies the tonic for the scale used for 

pitch shifting. The "o" symbol stands for #. 

V 1

V 9

Vibrato

1

5 0

Rate 

 

This is an effect with automatic vibrato. 

Higher right-digit settings emphasize the 

vibrato intensity. 

Adjusts the modulation rate. 

B 1

B 9

Pitch Bend

0

Pedal Position 

This effect allows using the expression pedal 

to change the pitch in real time. Right-digit 

settings select the pitch change type caused 

by the expression pedal (see Table 1). 

Sets the initial value for the pitch shift 

amount (the value that is active when the 

pedal is at rest). The original sound/effect 

sound level balance also changes according 

to the parameter 1 setting.

Delay 

1

2 0

Time (Delay Time) 

This is a delay with a maximum setting of 

2000 msec. Higher right-digit settings 

increase the mixing ratio of the effect sound 

and the feedback amount. 

Sets the delay time. In the 10 – 1000 

millisecond range, the adjustment is 

performed in 10-msec steps (1 – 99, 1.0). 

Above 1 second, the adjustment is performed 

in 100-msec steps (1.1 – 2.0).

CombFilter

1

5 0

Frequency 

This effect uses the comb filter 

characteristics generated by using fixed 

modulation on the flanger as an equalizer. 

Higher settings increase the mixing ratio of 

the effect sound.

Sets the frequency to be emphasized by the 

filter. Higher settings shift the emphasized 

frequency upwards. 

A 1

A 9

Air

1 0

Size

This effect reproduces the ambience of a 

room, to create spatial depth. Higher settings 

increase the mixing ratio of the effect sound. 

Sets the size of the simulated space. Higher 

settings values make the space bigger.

Phaser

1

5 0

Rate 

 

This effect produces sound with a pulsating 

character. The setting values change the type 

of sound. 

Adjusts the modulation rate. 

DELAY module

DELAY (Type&Prm1)

Selects the DELAY module effect type and controls parameter 1 at the same time. 

D 1

D 9

Delay 

This is a delay with a maximum setting of 5000 msec. The right-digit setting values control the mixing ratio 

of the effect sound and the feedback amount. 

T 1

T 9

Tape Echo 

This effect simulates a tape echo with a long delay time of up to 5000 msec. The right-digit setting values 

control the mixing ratio of the effect sound and the feedback amount.
