Insert effect parameter functions
Ring Modulator
This creates a bell-like sound by ring-modulating the guitar
sound with the signal from the internal oscillator. The sound
will be unmusical and lack distinctive pitches.
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
This parameter turns the ring modulator effect on or off.
Frequency 0–100
This adjusts the frequency of the internal oscillator.
Effect Level 0–100
Adjusts the volume of the effect sound.
Direct Level 0–100
Adjust the volume of the direct sound.
Short Delay
This is a delay with the maximum delay time of 400 ms. This
effect is useful for making the sound fatter.
* This effect can be used in the “COSM OD GUITAR AMP” algorithm
when FX “FX Select” parameter is set to “SDD.”
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
This parameter turns the short delay effect on or off.
Delay Time 0 ms–400 ms
Adjusts the delay time.
Feedback 0–100
Feedback refers to returning the delayed signal back into the input of
the delay. This parameter adjusts the volume that is returned to the
input. Higher settings will result in more delay repeats.
Effect Level 0–120
Adjusts the volume of delay sound.
Slow Gear
This produces a volume-swell effect (“violin-like” sound).
* This effect can be used in the “COSM OD GUITAR AMP” algorithm
when FX “FX Select” parameter is set to “SG.”
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
This parameter turns the slow gear effect on or off.
Sensitivity 0–100
This adjusts the sensitivity of the slow gear. When it is set to a lower
value, the effect of the slow gear can be obtained only with a stronger
picking, while no effect is obtained with a weaker picking. When the
value is set higher, the effect is obtained even with a weak picking.
Rise Time 0–100
This adjusts the time needed for the volume to reach its maximum
from the moment you begin picking.
Speaker Simulator
This effect simulates the characteristics of various types of
speakers. When the output from the BR-1600CD is connected
directly to a mixer or similar device, this effect can be used to
create the sound of your favorite speaker system.
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
This parameter turns the speaker simulator effect on or off.
Speaker Type
Selects the type of speaker that will be simulated.
“On Mic” simulates the sound obtained using a dynamic
microphone; “Off Mic” simulates the sound obtained using a
condenser microphone.

“VO+GT.AMP” algorithms

Mic Setting CENTER, 1–10 cm
This adjusts the simulated microphone position. CENTER
reproduces the sound obtained by setting the microphone in the
middle of the speaker cone. 1 to 10 cm represents the distance of the
microphone from the center of the speaker cone.
Mic Level 0–100
Adjusts the volume of the microphone.
Direct Level 0–100
Adjust the volume of the direct sound.
