Insert effect parameter functions
Speaker Type
Mic Setting CENTER, 1 cm–10 cm
This simulates the microphone position. “CENTER” simulates the
condition that the microphone is set in the middle of the speaker
cone. “1-10 cm” means that the microphone is moved away from the
center of the speaker cone.
Mic Level 0–100
Adjusts the volume of the microphone.
Direct Level 0–100
Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
* When the FULLRNG type of preamp has been selected, “Mic Level”
should be set to 100, and “Direct Level” should be set to 0.
Amb Pre-Dly 0.5 ms–50.0 ms
This parameter adjusts the delay between the original sound and the
output of ambience (i.e., room reflections).
Amb Size 5.0 m–15.0 m
This parameter adjusts the sound of the ambience by varying the
room size. Larger values produce longer ambience and increase the
sense of spaciousness.
Amb Density 0–10
This parameter adjusts the density of the ambience. Larger values
produce a denser sound.
Amb HF Damp DARK, NORMAL, BRIGHT
This parameter adjusts the tone of the ambience.
DARK:
High frequencies decay relatively quickly, producing a darker
sounding ambience.
NORMAL:
This setting produces ambience with a standard sound.
BRIGHT:
High frequencies decay relatively slowly, producing a brighter
sounding ambience.
Amb Level 0–100
Adjusts the volume of ambience.
De-esser
This effect is useful for reducing sibilance (or harsh ‘S’
sounds) produced by vocalists.
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
This parameter turns the de-esser effect on or off.
Sibilant Level 0–100
This adjusts the sensitivity with respect to the input volume, and it
controls the way in which the effect is applied.
Level 0–100
Adjusts the overall volume of the effect.
Defretter
This effect simulates the sound of a fretless bass.
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
This parameter turns the defretter effect on or off.
Sensitivity 0–100
This controls the input sensitivity of the defretter. Adjust this
parameter until your guitar’s harmonic changes sound natural.
Attack 0–100
This parameter controls the attack of the defretter. Increasing the value
will cause the harmonics to change more slowly, thus producing a
relatively attack-less sound, similar to that of a fretless bass.
Depth 0–100
This controls the ratio of harmonics. Increasing the value will increase the
harmonic content and therefore will create a more unusual sound.
■
When “COSM OD GUITAR AMP”
algorithm is selected
Tone -50–+50
Adjusts the amount of blurring between the notes.
Resonance 0–100
Adds a characteristically resonant quality to the sound.
Effect Level 0–100
Adjusts the volume of the defretter sound.
Direct Level 0–100
Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
■
When algorithm other than “COSM OD
GUITAR AMP” is selected
Level 0–100
Adjusts the volume of the defretter sound.
1x10”
This is a compact open-back speaker
cabinet with one 10-inch speaker.
1x12”
This is a compact open-back speaker
cabinet with one 12-inch speaker.
2x12”
This is a general open-back speaker cab-
inet with two 12-inch speakers.
4x12”
This is an optimal speaker cabinet for a
large enclosed amp with four 12-inch
speakers.
8x12”
This is a double stack of two cabinets,
each with four 12-inch speakers.
ORG
This is the built-in speaker of the amp
you selected with “Type.”
