NOISE SUPPRESSOR 1, 2

This eect reduces the noise and hum picked up by guitar pickups. Since it suppresses the noise in synchronization with the envelope of the guitar sound (the way in which the guitar sound decays over time), it has very little eect on the guitar sound, and does not harm the natural character of the sound.

Parameter Value Explanation

ON/OFF OFF, ON Turns this eect on/o.

Adjust this parameter as appropriate for the volume of the noise. If the noise level is high, a higher setting is appropriate. If the noise level is

This processor allows you to change the sound produced by the pickup on an acoustic electric guitar, creating a richer sound similar to that obtained with a microphone placed close to the guitar.

This changes the ltering over a periodic cycle, providing an automatic wah eect.

In this eect, a slightly detuned sound is added to the original sound to add depth and breadth.

Although this resembles a phaser eect, it also provides a unique undulation that you can’t get with a regular phaser.

This is an eect that produces a long sustain by evening out the volume level of the input signal. You can also use it as a limiter to suppress only the sound peaks and prevent distortion.

This simulates a fretless guitar.

This simulates a fretless bass.

This eect distorts the sound to obtain long sustain.

Generates feedback performance.

The anging eect gives a twisting, jet-airplane-like character to the sound.

Harmonist is an eect where the amount of shifting is adjusted according to an analysis of the guitar input, allowing you to create harmony based on diatonic scales.

This can create human vowel-like sounds.

This adds a note one octave lower and a note two octaves lower, creating a richer sound.

This eect uses MDP technology to add new harmonics to the sound, producing resonance and richness that was not present in the original sound.

With the volume level of the left and right sides alternately changing, when playing sound in stereo, you can get an eect that makes the guitar sound appear to y back and forth between the speakers.

By adding varied-phase portions to the direct sound, the phaser eect gives a whooshing, swirling character to the sound.

This eect changes the pitch of the original sound (up or down) within a range of two octaves.

This creates a bell-like sound by ring-modulating the guitar sound with the signal from the internal oscillator. The sound can be unmusical and lack distinctive pitches.

This consecutively interrupts the sound to create the impression that a rhythm backing phrase is being played.
