On the following pages, some examples of different types of
sounds are shown, along with graphic representations of
how to set the knobs. Since good (or bad) guitar sounds are
a subjective matter, use these examples as starting points to
create your own sounds that meet your specific tastes, or
lack thereof.
ROCK OVERDRIVE
This setting is a rock or a slightly over-driven ska sound. Use
a good hollow body guitar and the juice just starts to flow.
Set the LEVEL to 12 O’clock, the LOW to 2 O’clock, the
HIGH to 12 O’clock , and the DRIVE to 12 O’clock. T
ake a
trip back to 1965 and play all those old surf favorites.
METAL
SOLO
For a standard metal solo sound use the FX102 alone. T
urn
the LOW knob to 2 O’clock, turn the HIGH knob to 12
O’clock and turn the LEVEL knob up. Play fast and mean,
and don’t forget the whammy bar dives with pick squeals.
SOLO BOOST
T o change the tone and gain of your amp, set it for a good
distortion setting. Next turn the FX102’s LEVEL
control up,
turn the LOW control to 9 O’clock , turn the HIGH control to 9
O’clock, and the DRIVE control up. Use the FX102 when
soloing or you just want feedback.
