[. . . ] activate the Edit mode. Immediately after entering Edit mode from Play mode, the topmost parameter cursor indicator (PRE DRIVE) flashes, and the setting of this parameter is shown on the display. The flashing parameter cursor always indicates which parameter is selected for editing. In Edit mode, the EDIT key or the PATCH UP/DOWN pedals serve to select the parameter. Each push of the EDIT key moves the blinking parameter cursor indicator one step down. The PATCH UP/DOWN pedals move the blinking parameter cursor indicator up or down. When the EDIT key is pressed while the lowest indicator (Parameter 8: LEVEL) is flashing, the TUNER indicator (Parameter 9: SERIAL/PARA) starts flashing. When the EDIT key is pressed while the TUNER indicator (Parameter 9: SERIAL/PARA) is selected, the Edit mode is terminated and the 510 reverts to the Play mode. PATCH UP moves the blinking parameter cursor one step up and PATCH DOWN moves it one step down. * When the PATCH DOWN pedal is pressed while the TUNER indicator (Parameter 9: SERIAL/PARA) is flashing, the 510 stays in Edit mode and parameter 1 is selected. 7 Sr A1 There are a total of eight indicators, assigned to parameters 1 ­ 8 from top to bottom, plus the TUNER indicator which is assigned to parameter 9. The parameter functions are as follows. · Parameter 1:PRE DRIVE (PRE DRIVE effect type selection) · Parameter 2:GAIN (PRE DRIVE parameter setting) · Parameter 3:MAIN DRIVE (MAIN DRIVE effect type selection) · Parameter 4:GAIN (MAIN DRIVE parameter setting) · Parameter 5:HIGH (High-range equalizer) · Parameter 6:LOW (Low-range equalizer) · Parameter 7:ZNR/AMP (ZNR setting/amp simulator on, off) · Parameter 8:LEVEL (Patch level) · Parameter 9:SERIAL/PARA (Serial/parallel connection) (1) Use the EDIT key or patch (2) Use the VALUE +/- keys pedal to select the parameter to adjust the parameter. (3) While the TUNER indicator (Parameter 9) is flashing, press the EDIT key to return to Play mode. *Use the VALUE +/- keys to change the setting of the parameter. For details on parameters, please refer to section 12 "Effect Parameters". 12 Effect Parameters PARAMETER 1 PRE DRIVE Selects the effect type to be used in the PRE DRIVE module. 8 different effect types are available. (PRE DRIVE effect type) Increases or decreases the setting by 1 effect type. + ­ 1 BOOSTER 2 RHYTHM 3 LIGHT OD 4 DYNAMIC OD 5 COMP (Compressor) Conventional compressor effect. 6 AUTO WAH Auto wah with changing characteristics depending on picking intensity. 7 PEDAL WAH Pedal wah for use with optional expression pedal FP01. The center frequency that is being emphasized goes up and down, depending on the pedal action. 8 OCTAVE Natural sounding octaver creating a sound one octave lower. For use with single notes only. VALUE +/- keys + ­ Setting range 1 ­ Increases the setting by 1 effect type. Creates a Light distortion (Light overdrive) (Dynamic overdrive) clean sound suitable for Light overdrive Dynamic overdrive effect with prominent rhythm guitar. characteristics depending on picking intensity. PARAMETER 2 GAIN Sets the effect parameter value for PRE DRIVE. Which parameter is being adjusted depends on the effect type selected with parameter 1. (PRE DRIVE parameter setting) Increases or decreases the setting by 1. + ­ · GAIN: Adjusts the PRE DRIVE gain. Higher values result in higher PRE DRIVE gain and increased distortion. · SENS (Sensitivity) : Adjust the effect sensitivity. Higher values result in higher sensitivity. · FREQ (Frequency): Sets the center frequency that is active immediately after a patch is selected. Higher values result in higher center frequency. · MIX: Adjusts the effect mixing level. Higher values result in higher effect mixing level. VALUE +/- keys + ­ Setting range 1 ­ 16 Skips to "10" if the current setting is 1 to 9 and to "16" if 10 to 15. * When changing the effect type with parameter 1, the immediately preceding value of parameter 2 is memorized. PARAMETER 3 MAIN DRIVE Selects the effect type to be used in the MAIN DRIVE module. 8 different effect types are available. (MAIN DRIVE effect type) 1 OVER DRIVE Increases or decreases the setting by 1 effect type. + ­ 2 BLUES OD (Blues overdrive) Trebly overdrive which makes it easy to control nuances with picking intensity. 3 FAT DRIVE Overdrive effect ranging from clean sound to fat distortion. 4 DISTORTION Distortion effect with a sound as when driving a large amplifier to full levels. Suitable for seventies type hard rock. 5 FUZZ 6 GRUNGE 7 LEAD 8 METAL Metal type sound with prominent lows and highs. VALUE +/- keys + ­ Conventional overdrive effect. Setting range M1 ­M Increases the setting by 1 effect type. Fuzz effect Modern fuzz Lead sound reminiscent of effect with characterized the psychedelic exciting sound. sound of the sixties. PARAMETER 4 GAIN Setting range (MAIN DRIVE parameter setting) Increases or decreases the setting by 1. + ­ · GAIN : Adjusts the MAIN DRIVE gain. [. . . ] When it is completed, the unit automatically enters the Play mode. When wishing to recall only a particular patch, select the patch number in step 3, using the same procedure as for normal patch selection. When the desired patch has been selected, press the STORE key. The flashing rate increases and the contents of the selected patch are recalled. [. . . ]
