Section 2
Insert effect algorithm list
The algorithms (the available effects and their connection
order) that can be used as an insert effect are shown below.
The algorithms that can be selected will differ for each bank. To
select the algorithm that you wish to use, first select the effect bank
that includes that algorithm, and then refer to the separate “Effect
Patch List” and select a patch that uses the desired algorithm.
For details on selecting banks and patches, refer to
“Modifying insert effect settings” (p. 77).
If you would like to know more about each effect, refer to
“Insert effect parameter functions” (p. 90).
BANK: GUITAR
1. COSM OD GUITAR AMP
This multi-effect is used with electric guitars. Utilizing COSM
Amplifier Modeling and COSM Overdrive/Distortion as
featured on the BOSS GT-6, this effect allows you to recreate a
host of distortion and guitar amplifier sounds. In addition, the
BR-1600CD also allows you to freely change the way in which
this algorithm's internal effect blocks are connected.

2. ACOUSTIC SIM
This is a multi-effect designed for electric guitars. It allows
you to use an electric guitar to produce sounds similar to
those of an acoustic guitar.

3. BASS SIM
This simulates the sound of a bass, and you can use it to
obtain the sound of a bass while playing an electric guitar.
* You should avoid playing chords when using the Bass
Simulator.
