MULTI BAND

NORMAL 0-3
These four settings are best for maximum clarity of the individual notes
in a chord. These distortion curves are similar to standard distortions.

FOLDBACK 4-9
The foldback of the distortion curve greatly increases the distortion
components for these settings. The higher numbered effects have more
foldback creating even more distortion.

OCTAVE 10-14
Settings

and

give the purest octave effect. Settings

through

also have foldback and can get pretty strange. Dial down the guitar vol-
ume knob for a different range of sounds.

SINGLE BAND

NORMAL 15-16
These two settings are fairly conventional distortion sounds.

FOLDBACK 17-19
With the entire guitar signal processed through a single foldback distor-
tion curve, there will be much more intermodulation-type distortion
produced. Long sustained notes and unison bends work great.

OCTAVE 20-22

is the purest single band octave effect, and

includes some foldback.

EFFECT TYPES

Here are some brief descriptions of the effects included in the

MWB

Pro.

The

EFFECT

knob settings are split into two major categories:

MULTI

BAND

and

SINGLE BAND

. Where

MULTI BAND

settings use the band split-

ting discussed in the feature section and the

SINGLE BAND

settings do

not. Each main category contains

sub-categories:

NORMAL

FOLDBACK

and

OCTAVE

. For each sub-category, turning the effect knob clockwise

will tend produce more dramatic effects.

CLEAN BOOST/EQ
This setting bypasses the Drive knob and will not provide any distortion.
The

Amount, Clean Mix, and Distortion Mix knobs still apply. The

most common use for this setting is to have a preset that gives you
clean signal boost with some

. This is also useful for when you want

to morph from a clean sound to a distorted sound using an expression
pedal. (See Morphing section.)
