On/Off (effect on/off)
Switches the FX-1 effect on/off.
FX Select (effect select)
This selects the effect to be used.
■ CS (Compressor)
The compressor is an effect that attenuates loud input levels
and boosts soft input levels, thus evening out the volume to
create sustain without distortion.
Sustain
Adjusts the range (time) over which low-level signals are
boosted. Larger values will result in longer sustain.
Attack
Adjusts the strength of the picking attack. Larger values will
result in a sharper attack, creating a more clearly defined
sound.
Tone
Adjusts the tone.
Level
Adjusts the volume.
■ LM (Limiter)
The limiter attenuates loud input levels to prevent distortion.
Threshold
Adjust this as appropriate for the input signal from your
guitar. When the input signal level exceeds this threshold
level, limiting will be applied.
Release
This adjusts the time from when the signal level drops below
the threshold until when limiting is removed.
Tone
Adjusts the tone.
Level
Adjusts the volume.
■ AC (Acoustic Guitar Simulator)
This simulates the sound of an acoustic guitar. It allows you
to use an electric guitar to produce sounds similar to those of
an acoustic guitar.
Top
This adjusts the simulated interference to the strings made by
the top plate. That is, it adjusts the attack sense or harmonic
contents.
Body
This adjusts the resonance of the sound caused by the body.
That is, it adjusts the softness and fatness of the sound which
is the typical characteristics of acoustic guitars.
Level
This adjusts the volume of the acoustic guitar simulator.
■ PIC (Pickup Simulator)
This produces the sound of different types of pickup. You
can produce thick humbucking-style sounds even with a
single-coil guitar.
Type
Select the pickup type.
‘S’ to ‘H’ (Single to Hum):
This converts the sound of a single coil pickup to the sound
of a humbucking pickup.
‘H’ to ‘S’ (Hum to Single):
This converts the sound of a humbucking pickup to the
sound of a single coil pickup.
