(Edit
Mode)
1.
Activate edit mode.
2.
Select CUSTOM1 (11A) or CUSTOM2 (11B) of the
DRIVE module.
Verify that the DRIVE module is ON.
3.
Call up parameters 1 - 8 and make the desired
settings.
To make optimum use of custom distortion parameters, we
recommend to set parameters 1 - 4 as follows.
PARM1 GAIN 1 - 30 (as desired)
PARM2 PRE GAIN 7
PARM3 TONE 5
PARM4 LEVEL
25
4.
Press the GROUP/CUSTOM SET key once.
This calls up parameter 9. The name of the parameter
(">CHAR<") appears on the display, and the GROUP/BANK
indicator shows the current value.
Parameter 9 can also be called up with the PARM SELECT
knob. This is convenient to switch between any parameter from 1
- 12.
5.
Use the PARM VALUE knob to adjust the value.
Parameters 9 - 12 are special parameters for custom distortion,
allowing setting characteristics separately for each frequency
band.
6.
Call up parameters 10 - 12 in the same way with the
PARM SELECT knob, and use the PARM VALUE knob
to adjust the value.
7.
When you have created a custom distortion effect,
store the patch.
That parameters 9 - 12 are global parameters that affect all
patches. For example, when parameters 9 - 12 of custom
distortion 1 in a patch were adjusted, and the patch was
stored, the changes will affect all patches using custom
distortion 1 (effect type 11A).
NOTE
NOTE
The effect numbers 11A and 11B of the DRIVE module are reserved for custom distortion effects created by the user. For custom
distortion, in addition to the regular effect parameters (PARM1 - PARM8), there are four more parameters (PARM9 -
PARM12) which allow control over the distortion character and other characteristics.

Creating Custom Distortion
Once you have set these parameters and stored the result as a patch, you can use it as a new distortion effect in other patches.
