Rate
This selects the auto wah cycle.
* When set to BPM, the value of each parameter is set according
to the value of the Master BPM (p. 44) specified for each patch.
This makes it easy to achieve effect sound settings that match
the tempo of the song (synchronizing the cycle to one-half or
one-fourth of the BPM when the set cycle rate is increased).
When setting to the BPM, press PARAMETER [
] to
display the Master BPM settings screen.
Depth
Adjusts the depth of the auto wah effect.
Freq (Frequency)
This adjusts the reference frequency for the Wah effect.
Peak
This adds a particular character to the sound. Higher values
produce a stronger tone which emphasizes the wah effect
more.
Polarity
This selects the direction in which the filter changes in
response to the input.
Up:
The filter rises from lower to higher frequencies in response
to the input level.
Down:
The filter falls from higher to lower frequencies in response
to the input level.
Sens
This adjusts the sensitivity at which the filter changes
according to the polarity setting. Higher values result in a
stronger response, such that the filter responds with great
sensitivity even when the strings are played lightly.
* When the filter is set to be altered cyclically, set this to “0.”
Level
Adjusts the volume.
FX-1
With FX-1, you can select the effect to be used from the
following.
• OCTAVE
• ENHANCER
• SLOW GEAR
• DEFRETTER
• RING MOD (Ring Modulator)
Parameter Value

FX Select Octave, Enhancer, Slow Gear,
Defretter, Ring Mod
On/Off (Effect On/Off)
Switches the FX-1 effect on and off.
FX Select (Effect Select)
Selects the effect to be used.
■ OCT: Octave
This adds a sound one octave below the original sound,
resulting in a fatter sound.
* Use this effect only when playing one note at a time. The
octave sound does not sound good with chords.
* The unit may not operate correctly if the order in which the
effects are connected is changed so that this is connected after
FX-2, causing the sound to become muddy and indistinct.
Parameter Value
Effect Level 0–100
Direct Level 0–100
Effect Level
This adjusts the volume of the sound played one octave
below the original sound.
Direct Level

■ ENH: Enhancer
This is an effect that clarifies the contour of the input sound
by emphasizing the attack of the sound following changes in
the input level.
Parameter Value
Sensitivity 0–100
Frequency 800 Hz–4.00 kHz
Mix Level 0–100
