Drag the sliders for the Gate, Compressor, Echo, and Reverb effects to adjust the
amount of each effect. Choose a new setting from the Equalizer pop-up menu to adjust
the equalization. If your song is playing, you hear the changes in real time.

effect setting for the effect from the Preset pop-up menu on the right.

Additional effects you can add include treble reduction, bass reduction, amp
