Wah-Wah modulation and you’ll understand. Basically, the Wah-Wah modulation is a lowpass type of
filter that can be swept across the frequency range. During the sweep, the filter’s characteristics also
change.
Note: If you use an expression pedal connected to the C
ONTROL
P

I
NPUT
you can control the
filter sweep and thus the Wah-Wah effect from the pedal. Also note that if you’re already using an ex-
pression pedal for Organ Swell control (see
“Swell control (from expression pedal)” on page 22
), the
Wah-Wah function takes precedence and automatically disables the Swell control.

Auto-Wah is a variation of the Wah-Wah modulation described above. The difference is that here you
control the filter sweep range, and thus the Wah-Wah effect, from Keyboard Velocity.

A phaser splits the incoming signal and phase shifts one of the signals. The phase
shift frequency is also continuously changed. The signals are then mixed before sent
to the output. The phaser effect is very characteristic and is frequently used in all
sorts of music. You control the rate of the phase shift with the
R
ATE
knob and the
phase shift amount with the
A
MOUNT
knob.

Flanging is achieved by splitting the input signal and delaying one of the signals. The
signals are then mixed together before sent to the output. The delay time is contin-
uously changed. You set the rate for the delay time change with the
R
ATE
knob and
the amount with the
A
MOUNT
knob.

The Chorus effect simulates the appearance of several slightly detuned signals and is
generated by splitting up the input signal in several signals and then delaying each
of these signals differently. All signals are then mixed together and output. The delay
times are continuously changed. You set the rate for the delay time changes with the
R
ATE
knob and the
amount with the
A
MOUNT
knob.

The Overdrive effect is a simulation of a tube overdrive distortion. It’s very useful
both on Organ and Piano sounds. Activate or deactivate the Overdrive effect with
the
O
N
button and set the overdrive amount with the
A
MOUNT
knob.
