[. . . ] Higher setting values result in faster modulation R 9 This effect produces a metallic ringing sound. Higher setting values result in higher modulation frequency. Ring Mod (Ring Modulator) Explanation of symbols Module selector Tap TAP The Module selector symbol shows the position of the knob at which this module/parameter is called up. Expression pedal A [TAP] icon in the listing indicates a parameter that can be set with the [BANK UP·TAP] key. S1 V1 1 S 9 This effect reduces the attack rate of each individual note, producing a violin playing style sound. Higher setting values result in slower attack times. Slow Attack V 9 This effect simulates a half-open vintage VOX wah pedal. Higher setting values result in higher emphasized frequency. Vox Wah A pedal icon in the listing indicates a parameter that can be controlled with the built-in or an external expression pedal. When this item is selected, the parameter in the module can then be controlled in real time with a connected expression pedal. When the respective module/effect type is selected in edit mode and the [BANK UP·TAP] key is pressed repeatedly, the parameter (such as modulation rate or delay time) will be set according to the interval in which the key is pressed. 9 This effect simulates a half-open vintage Crybaby wah pedal. Higher setting values result in higher emphasized frequency. Cry Wah DRIVE module This module includes 20 types of distortion and an acoustic simulator. For this module, the two items DRIVE and GAIN can be adjusted separately. DRIVE (Type) Selects the effect type for the DRIVE module. FD Clean VX Clean FD Clean sound of a Fender Twin Reverb ('65 model) favored by guitarists of many music styles.

Overdrive Simulation of the Boss OD-1 that first created the "overdrive" concept. Guv'nor Simulation of the Guv'nor distortion effect from Marshall. ZNR/AMP (Type&Prm) Selects ZNR sensitivity and amp simulator type at the same time. dist+ Simulation of MXR distortion+ that made distortion popular worldwide.
