Insert effect parameter functions
Vibrato
This effect creates vibrato by slightly modulating the pitch.
* This effect can be used in the “COSM OD GUITAR AMP” algorithm
when FX “FX Select” parameter is set to “VB.”
Type MANUAL, PEDAL
This parameter sets whether or not vibrato is to be controlled using
the pedal.
MANUAL:
Vibrato is applied normally.
PEDAL:
The depth of vibrato can be controlled by the degree to which the
expression pedal is applied.
Rate 0–100
This adjusts the rate of the vibrato.
Depth 0–100
When “PEDAL” has been selected for “Type,” full application of the
expression pedal will produce vibrato at this depth.
Voice Transformer
This effect controls the formants in a vocal part, allowing a
variety of different voice characters to be created.
Specifically, it adds two voice characters with differing
formants to the direct sound.
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
This parameter turns the voice transformer effect on or off.
Formant1 -100–+100
Adjust the formant of the voice character 1.
Formant2 -100–+100
Adjust the formant of the voice character 2.
Effect Level1 0–100
Adjust the volume of the voice character 1.
Effect Level2 0–100
Adjust the volume of the voice character 2.
Direct Level 0–100
Adjust the volume of the direct sound.
Wah
The wah effect creates a unique tone by changing the
frequency response characteristics of a filter.
Auto wah modifies the filter in a cyclic fashion or in response
to the volume of the input source in order to create automatic
wah effects.
Touch wah creates an automatic wah by changing the filter
in response to the volume of the input. Pedal wah lets you
use an Expression pedal or the like to obtain real-time control
of the wah effect.
* If the “BASS MULTI,” “COSM BASS AMP,” or “STEREO MULTI”
algorithms are selected, this effect can be used if “WAH” is selected for
the “Effect Type” of the 4Band Equalizer/Wah. If the “COSM OD
GUITAR AMP” algorithm is selected, this effect can be used if “WAH”
or “AW” is selected for the “Effect Type” of the EQ/Wah.
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
Turns the touch wah effect on or off.
■
When “COSM OD GUITAR AMP”
algorithm is selected
Effect Type WAH, AW
Selects either pedal wah “WAH” or auto wah “AW.”
WAH:
The effect will function as a pedal wah.
AW:
The effect will function as an auto wah.
●
When “WAH” is selected
The expression pedal can be used to operate the wah effect.
Type
This selects the wah type.
Pedal Pos 0–100
This adjusts the position of the wah pedal.
Level 0–100
Adjusts the volume.
CRY WAH
This models the sound of the CRY BABY
wah pedal popular in the `70s.
VO WAH
This models the sound of the VOX V846.
FAT
This a wah sound featuring a bold tone.
LIGHT
This wah has a refined sound with no
unusual characteristics.
7STRING
Wah featuring a broader range of variations
for the seven-string guitar.
