Insert effect parameter functions
Section 2
Sub Equalizer
This adjusts the tone as a sub equalizer. A parametric type is
adopted for the high-middle and low-middle range.
* This effect can be used in the “COSM OD GUITAR AMP” algorithm
when FX “FX Select” parameter is set to “SEQ.”
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
This parameter turns the sub equalizer effect on or off.
Low Gain -20–+20 dB
This parameter sets the gain (amount of boost or cut) for the bass
equalizer.
Low-Mid Gain -20–+20 dB
This parameter sets the gain (amount of boost or cut) for the low-
midrange equalizer.
Low-Mid Freq 100 Hz–10.0 kHz
This parameter sets the central frequency for the low-midrange equalizer.
Low-Mid Q 0.5–16
This parameter sets the range of change in gain for the frequency set by
“Low-Mid Freq.” A larger value results in a narrower range of change.
Hi-Mid Gain -20–+20 dB
This parameter sets the gain (amount of boost or cut) for the high-
midrange equalizer.
Hi-Mid Freq 100 Hz–10.0 kHz
This parameter sets the central frequency for the high-midrange equalizer.
Hi-Mid Q 0.5–16
This parameter sets the range of change in gain for the frequency set by
“Hi-Mid Freq.” A larger value results in a narrower range of change.
High Gain -20–+20 dB
This parameter sets the gain (amount of boost or cut) for the treble equalizer.
Level -20–+20 dB
This parameter adjusts the volume after the equalizer stage.
Tremolo
Tremolo is an effect that creates a cyclic change in volume.
* This effect can be used when “COSM OD GUITAR AMP” algorithm is
selected.
Wave Shape 0–100
This adjusts changes in volume level.
Rate 0–100
Adjusts the frequency (speed) of the change.
Depth 0–100
Adjusts the depth of the effect.
Tremolo/Pan
Tremolo is an effect that creates a cyclic change in volume,
and pan moves the stereo position in a cyclic manner
between left and right (when stereo output is used).
* This effect can be used when the Modulation “Effect Type” parameter is
set to “TRM/PAN.”
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
This parameter turns the tremolo/pan effect on or off.
Mode
This parameter selects tremolo or pan, and it also selects how the
effect will be applied.
TRM-TRI:
The volume will change cyclically and smooth changes will be
produced.
TRM-SQR:
The volume will change cyclically and abrupt changes will be
produced.
PAN-TRI:
The sound will be moved cyclically between the left and right.
Smooth changes will be produced.
PAN-SQR:
The sound will be moved cyclically between the left and right.
Abrupt changes will be produced.
Rate 0–100
Adjust the rate at which the effect will operate.
Depth 0–100
Adjusts the depth of the effect.
Uni-V
Although this resembles a phaser effect, it also provides a
unique undulation that you can’t get with a regular phaser.
* This effect can be used in the “COSM OD GUITAR AMP” algorithm
when FX “FX Select” parameter is set to “UV.”
Rate 0–100
Adjusts the rate of the Uni-V effect.
Depth 0–100
Adjusts the depth of the Uni-V effect.
Level 0–100
Adjusts the volume.
