6. Effect Processor Selection
In the MEMORY mode the FX500B effect stages can be
individually turned ON or OFF by using the COMP, O.D.,
EQ. MOD and REV keys. Pressing any of these keys
alternately turns the corresponding effect stage ON
(indicator lit) or OFF (indicator out), When a stage is turned
OFF, it is bypassed and the previous active stage is
connected directly to the follotMing active stage, if all
stages are ON, the effect chain is as shown below;
# C O M P • O . D . # E Q
# M O D --- # R E V

If, however, you only wanted to use the compressor,
equalizer and reverb stages, you could press the O.D. and
MOD keys to turn the stages OFF, resulting in the effect
chain shown below:

NOTE: The ON/OFF status of each effect is stored to the
RAM memory along with all other effect data when
a STORE operation is performed (see "Memory
Store Operation" on page 12).
Reversing the Order of the
Moduiation & Reverb Stages
Normally, the last two effects in the FX500B effect chain
are a moduiation type and reverb type, in that order. By
pressing the SELyASN key while in the MEMORY mode,
however, this order may be reversed. The order of the
MOD and REV effect stages is shown on the bottom line of
the LCD, and the LEDs associated with the MOD and REV
keys will light to show the selected order:
• MOD — • REV or • REV — • MOD.
This is the normal order of the MOD and REV effect
stages;
I C O M P • O . D . • E Q
• M O D --• R E V
The current order of the MOD and REV stages is also
shown on the bottom line of the display ("MOD -* REV" in
this case).
I S l a p B a s s 1
C h o a R h 1
Press the SEL/ASN key to reverse this order.

The new MOD/REV order is also shown on the display.

The ability to reverse the order of the modulation and
reverb stages is important because it gives you choice of
applying reverb/delay to the already-modulated signal, or
applying modulation to the reverb/delay signal. The
difference in sound can be quite significant.
NOTE: The selected order of the MOD and REV effect
stages is stored to the RAM memory along with all
other effect data when a STORE operation is
performed (see "Memory Store Operation" on
page 12).
