About amp models and effect types
This section provides details on the amp models, the various effects 1 and effects 2 types, noise reduction and the audio
equalizer.
Tip Using Tone Room, you can select more amp models and effect types than those listed below and also store user programs.
Unnatural distortion may occur, depending on the amp and effect settings. If this occurs, adjust the amp and effect parameters.
If a parameter not available on the top panel is changed in Tone Room, the tone may become quite different from the original
amp model or effect type.
For input outside of the bass range (high-frequency range of guitars), it is not possible to obtain a normal effect with the bass
synthesizer.
Amp models
1. CLASSIC
This vintage tube amp head is famous for being able to flip
it and store it in the speaker cabinet. It’s warm sound is
ideal for finger picking styles
2. SLAP
This model produces bright highs and scooped mids to cut
through the mix, with a defined contour. Best used for slap
styles.
3. ROCK
This model is based on the world famous pre-amp in a
black case. It’s sound contains aggressive highs and upper
harmonic content. Best used for rock picking styles.
4. MODERN
This model is based on the ever popular tube amplifier
with it’s “ULTRA LOW” switch engaged. This produces
Hi-Fi rock sounds.
5. DEEP
This is the most aggressive bass sound that can be heard
from 2010 and later. The input signal is divided into
low-band with compression and high-band with distortion, best for heavy rock and prog metal.
6. TIGHT SYNTH (BASS SYNTHESIZER)
This model produces pop synth bass sounds that can be
heard in the 80’s and beyond. The solid sound is touchsensitive and very dynamic. Envelope Filter is included in
BASS SYNTHESIZER models.
TREBLE, MIDDLE and BASS knobs will be assigned to the
filter control parameters when this model is selected.
TREBLE: (FREQUENCY + RESONANCE) Adjusts the
center frequency and the amount of resonance.
MIDDLE: (DECAY) Adjusts the speed of response.
BASS : (DEPTH) Adjusts the depth of the filter.
7. DIRTY SYNTH (BASS SYNTHESIZER)
This synthesizer consists of multiple waves with distortion
and produces an aggressive dirty sound that can be heard
in alternative rock music. It’s distinctive sound can stand
out in a loud band.
Envelope Filter is included and TREBLE, MIDDLE and
BASS knobs will be assigned to the filter control parameters as with TIGHT SYNTH.
8. DELUXE CL
This models the Vibrato channel of a 22W blackface 60’s
designed amp. Using 6V6 power tubes and a tube-driven
spring reverb, this produces a big sound at a lower wattage.
9. AC30TB
This models an AC30 amp with the “top boost” circuit of
the 1964 AC30. It delivers a smooth and refined top end, a
majestically deep overdrive, and a rich, brilliant clean
sound.
10. DOUBLE REC
This models the modern high-gain channel from a wild
beast of an amp. Its deep and loose low-end, sparkling
highs, and monstrous gain are ideal for guitars tuned as
low as possible, or for metal acts wielding seven-string
guitars.
11. FLAT
This models is only a three-band tone control amplifier
that produces a pure,clean tone. Setting TREBLE, MIDDLE, and BASS to the center will produce flat response of
the preamp.
If the input level is too high the sound may become distort-
ed. To prevent this from happening reduce the gain in the
preamp.
