Insert effect parameter functions
Acoustic Guitar Simulator
This simulates the sound of an acoustic guitar. It allows you
to use an electric guitar to produce sounds similar to those of
an acoustic guitar.
It will be easier to achieve the desired effect if you set the
pickup selector of your guitar to the front position.
* This effect can be used when “COSM OD GUITAR AMP,”
“ACOUSTIC SIM,” or “VO+AC.SIM” algorithms are selected.
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
This parameter turns the acoustic guitar simulator effect on and off.
Level 0–100
This adjusts the volume of the acoustic guitar simulator.
■ When “COSM OD GUITAR AMP”
algorithm is selected
* This effect can be used when FX “FX Select” parameter is set to “AC.”
Top 0–100
This adjusts the interference to the strings made by the top plate.
That is, it adjusts the attack sense or harmonic contents.
Body 0–+100
This adjusts the resonance of the sound caused by the body. That is,
it adjusts the softness and fatness of the sound which is the typical
characteristics of acoustic guitars.
■ When “ACOUSTIC SIM” or
“VO+AC.SIM” algorithm is selected
Pickup Type SINGLE, HUMBUCK
Set this to the type of pickup on the guitar being played.
Character
This selects one of four sound types.
STD (STANDARD):
A normal acoustic guitar.
JUMBO:
An acoustic guitar with a body that is bigger than that of the
STANDARD guitar. This guitar has a more powerful bass sound.
ENHANCE:
An acoustic guitar with a more responsive attack. With this setting,
the guitar will retain a higher degree of presence in almost any
situation.
PIEZO:
Simulates the sound you would get from a pickup installed on an
electric-acoustic guitar. With this setting, a certain amount of
compression will be applied during the attack.
Top-Hi -100–+100
This adjusts the level of the direct sound from the strings—in other
words, it adjusts the harmonic content.
Top-Mid -100–+100
This adjusts the way in which the top plate affects the strings—in
other words, it adjusts the sense of attack.
Body -100–+100
This adjusts the resonance generated by the body—in other words, it
adjusts the softness and fatness of the sound to simulate the typical
characteristics of acoustic guitars.
* If Top-Hi, Top-Mid, and Body are all set to “-100,” there will be no
sound.
Acoustic Processor
This processor allows you to change the sound produced by
the pickup on an electric-acoustic guitar, creating a richer
sound similar to that obtained with a microphone placed
close to the guitar. Best results will be achieved when stereo
output is used.
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
This parameter turns the acoustic processor effect on or off.
Body 0–100
This adjusts the resonance generated by the body—in other words, it
adjusts the softness and fatness of the sound to simulate the typical
characteristics of acoustic guitars.
Mic Distance 0–100
This adjusts the simulated distance between the acoustic guitar and
the microphone used to capture its sound.
Level 0–100
This adjusts the overall volume of the acoustic processor.
