Adjusting the sound of a
patch
After selecting a patch in play mode, you can use
the knobs and keys on the panel to adjust
parameters such as distortion type and depth,
equalizer settings, etc.
1.
In play mode, select the patch you want to
use.
2.
To change the distortion type, use the
[DRIVE] knob and [VARIATION] key in the
drive section.
The distortion type used for the DRIVE module can
be switched with the [DRIVE] knob and
[VARIATION] key. Turn the [DRIVE] knob to
select a general distortion category (amp or effect
pedal type), and use the [VARIATION] key to select
a variation within that category.
Each push of the [VARIATION] key cycles through
the CLASSIC

OFF (DRIVE module off) settings, and the
corresponding LED lights up. For details on
category and variation characteristics, see page 29.

If you turn the [DRIVE] knob or push the
[VARIATION] key while a patch is selected for
which the DRIVE module is off (effect module
[DRIVE] key not lit), the DRIVE module is
automatically turned on ([DRIVE] key lights up).
3.
To adjust the gain (distortion depth) of the
DRIVE module, turn the [GAIN] knob in
the drive section.
When you turn the knob, the current gain setting
appears on the [GROUP/BANK] indicator, and the
“EDITED” dot appears. When you return the gain
to the original setting, the dot disappears.

If you turn the [GAIN] knob while a patch is
selected for which the DRIVE module is off, the
indication “-OFF-” appears on the display and
the knob has no effect.
4.
If necessary, use the [TURBO] key or
[EDGE] key to adjust the overall sound of
the patch.
The [TURBO] key and [EDGE] key let you touch
up the sound of each patch. The [TURBO] key
increases the overall sound pressure (intensity) of
the patch, and the [EDGE] key enhances the treble.
You can also set both keys to ON together.
5.
To provide EQ adjustment, use the knobs
in the equalizer section.
The knobs in the equalizer provide boost or cut in
the following ranges.
(1) Select general distortion category
with [DRIVE] knob.

patch (patch level), turn the [VALUE] dial.
The patch level is a parameter that controls the
combined original sound and effect sound level. It
can be set in the range of 1 - 30. During adjustment,
the [GROUP/BANK] indicator shows the actual
setting.
