Effects Overview
The Master Effects Page
NOTE: In Setup mode and Song mode, this page corresponds in appearance and function to the MASTER
EFFECTS page, which works on a per setup/song basis.
Pressing the MASTER soft button calls up the Master Eects page. The Master Eects page
contains the settings for the master EQ and Compressor. When enabled, the master eects are
applied to all programs in Program Mode. (In Setup and Song mode, each setup and song can have its
ownmastereectssettingsorusethemastereectssettingsfromEectmode,seeModebelowfordetails.)
The page appears as shown below:
Parameter Range of Values Default
Mode Master, Setup Master
Order Compressor => EQ, EQ => Compressor Compressor => EQ
Master FX Master FX Enabled, Master FX Bypassed Master FX Enabled
The two boxes in the chain on the Master Eects page are the master Compressor and EQ Eects.
Press the Edit button while either of these boxes is selected to edit the parameters for the box’s
eect. See Equalizers (EQ) on page 9-15 and Compressors, Expanders, and Gates on page 9-16 for
description on the EQ and Compressor parameters.
Mode
The setting for the Master Eects can be set directly on this page, or optionally in the control
setup. In Program mode, to set up the Master Eects from Eect mode, set the Mode parameter
to Master. To use the settings in the current control setup, select Setup. Controlling the Master
Eects from the control setup allows for convenient switching between dierent congurations.
See Control Setup on page 6-9 details. (In Setup and Song modes, a setting of Master uses the master

Setup or Song.)
Order
Use the Order parameter to determine the order of the two eects. Setting Order to Compressor
=> EQ routes signal through the Compressor rst, and then through the EQ. Setting Order to EQ
=> Compressor routes signal through the EQ rst, and then through the Compressor.
Master FX
The Master FX parameter determines whether the Master Eects are enabled or bypassed.
Setting Master FX to Master FX Enabled enables the Master Eects. Setting Master FX to Master
FX Bypassed bypasses the Master Eects, and eectively removes them from the signal path.
