6 − Effects

The multi-effect is assigned in the same way as the mic
effects: press and hold the

MULTI

key and press the input

or channel

SELECT key. Any input or channel assigned

when the

MULTI

key is first pressed flashes.

Unassigning the multi-effect follows the same procedure:
press and hold the

MULTI

key, and press the flashing

SELECT

key.

NOTE

The multi-effect can be freely assigned to mono inputs
or channels or to linked or stereo input or channels.

Assigning the multi-effect

On the 2488neo, a “multi-effect” is a chain of effects which
can be used together as one insert effect for processing a
guitar sound, for example. A multi-effect is made avail-
able together with the four mic effect setting. Selecting the

multi-effect for use is done in the same way as selecting
the four mic effects (see “Editing mic effects” page 40).

Using the multi-effect library

You can edit the parameters of the selected multi-effect.
The editable parameters depend on the effect type.

Press the

MULTI

key to open the MULTI EFFECT screen

where you can edit the parameters.

At the bottom of the screen, each of the effects in the
multi-effect is shown with an abbreviation. These effects
are connected in a chain in the order displayed. This order
cannot be changed.

Use the

cursor keys to select the effect you want to

edit. The editable effect parameters are shown in the upper
part of the screen.

NOTE

You can use an external expression pedal to control a
single (non-selectable) parameter for each of the 4th
stage effects (flanger, phaser, chorus, exciter, pitch,
tremolo, vibrato, wah). Set PEDAL to ON to make
pedal control possible.
