HPF enables a high-pass filter and LPF a lowpass filter. Available Type settings depend on the frequency band (see Table 1).
Effect Types and Parameters ST-Chorus (Stereo Chorus) This is a clear sounding stereo chorus. PARM1 PARM2 0 – 100 Depth Adjusts the modulation depth. PARM3 1 – 50 Rate Lo-Cut PARM4 Off – 800 Specifies the low-range cutoff point for the effect sound. Adjusts the modulation rate. 0 – 100 Mix Adjusts the level of the effect sound mixed to the original sound. Detune This effect mixes a slightly pitch-shifted component to the original sound, resulting in a chorus effect with only slight modulation.
Effect Types and Parameters Step Special effect that changes the sound in a staircase pattern. PARM1 PARM2 0 – 100 Depth Adjusts the modulation depth. PARM3 Resonance 0 – 50 Rate Adjusts the modulation rate. PARM4 Shape 0 – 10 Adjusts the resonance intensity. 0 – 10 Adjusts the effect sound envelope. Delay This is a delay with a maximum setting of 2000 ms. TapeEcho This effect simulates a tape echo. The above two effect types have the same parameters.
Effect Types and Parameters PdlMonoPitch (Pedal Mono Pitch) This is a pitch shifter specially for monophonic sound (single-note playing), which allows the pitch to be shifted in real time with the expression pedal. PARM1 PARM2 Color 1–9 Selects the type of pitch change caused by the pedal (see Table 3 on page 72). Mode PARM3 Up, Down Sets the direction of the pitch change to Up or Down. Tone PARM4 PdlPosi 0 – 10 Adjusts the tonal quality of the sound. 0 – 100 Sets the pitch shift amount.
Effect Types and Parameters AutoFilter This is a resonance filter with a sharp envelope. PARM1 PARM2 -10 – 10 Sense Adjusts the effect sensitivity. 0 – 10 Peak Adjusts the Q value of the filter. PARM3 DryMix 0 – 100 Adjusts the original sound mixing ratio. Z-Echo This effect allows changing the echo pitch or duration by controlling the "Time" parameter with the pedal or another control source.
Effect Types and Parameters [Table 5] The table below shows an example for Z-pedal operation when vertical direction is assigned to "PdlPosi V" and horizontal direction to "PdlPosi H".
Effect Types and Parameters Air This effect reproduces the ambience of a room, to create spatial depth. PARM1 PARM2 Size 1 – 100 Adjusts the size of the simulated space. PARM3 0 – 10 Reflex Adjusts the amount of reflections from the wall. Tone PARM4 0 – 10 Adjusts the tonal quality of the sound. 0 – 100 Mix Adjusts the level of the effect sound mixed to the original sound. Loop This effect lets you hold a sound that has been played and repeat it in a loop.
Effect Types and Parameters MultiTapDly (Multi Tap Delay) This effect produces several components with different delay times. PARM1 Time PARM2 1 – 3000ms Sets the basic delay time. PARM3 Pattern 1–8 Selects the delay time combination pattern for the taps. Tone PARM4 0 – 10 Adjusts the tonal quality of the sound. 0 – 100 Mix Adjusts the level of the effect sound mixed to the original sound. PanDelay This is a stereo delay with a delay time of up to 3000 ms.
Effect Types and Parameters TOTAL module This module comprises parameters that affect the entire patch. TOTAL Specifies the patch specific level, tempo, and balance settings. PARM1 PatchLevel PARM2 TotalBal 2 – 100 Specifies the overall level of the patch. PARM3 0 – 100 Specifies the mixing balance between the sound routed through the effect module and the direct sound. Tempo 40 – 250 Specifies the patch specific tempo (→ p. 38). NAME Specifies a name for the patch (→ p. 26).
Troubleshooting ■ No sound or very low volume • Make sure that the POWER switch is on. • Try adjusting the LEVEL knob on the rear panel. • Check the connections (→ p. 8). • Make sure that the shielded cable is not defective. • Try adjusting the patch level (→p. 16). • If the volume is being adjusted with the expression pedal, make sure that a suitable volume setting has been selected with the pedal. • When both controls in the Accelerator section are fully turned down, there will be no sound.
