Each effect within the BP80 can be programmed to suit your personal application. Understanding how these effects alter the sound helps you achieve the sound you are looking for. The following overview of the BP80's effects outlines what each effect does. Fretless Wah Compressor Amp Modeling Cabinet Modeling EQ Noise Gate Chorus / Mod Delay Reverb Preset Level Controls the individual level for each preset. Because this setting is individual to each preset, you may adjust the volume when using louder or softer amp models. Fretless/Wah The fretless simulator creates a fretless bass sound when using a fretted bass. Wah is an effect controlled by an expression pedal making the bass sound as if it's saying "Wah. " Fretless/Wah Type - The Value buttons select the Fretless or Wah type that is simulated. 14 The Fretless effect has 30 types (10-39).
