Insert Effect Parameter Functions
Pitch Shifter
This effect changes the pitch of the original sound (up or down)
within a range of two octaves.
* This effect can be used when the MODULATION “Type” parameter
is set to “PITCH SFT.”
On/Off OFF, ON
This parameter turns the pitch shifter effect on/off.
Type
Selects either manual pitch shifter “MANUAL” or pedal pitch shifter
“PEDAL.”
MANUAL:
This is a simple pitch shifter.
PEDAL:
The effect will function as a pedal pitch shifter. The effect of the wah
pedal can be obtained by operating the Expression pedal.
For a detailed explanation, see “When Using an Expression Pedal”
(p. 187).
Pitch -24–DETUNE– +24
Adjusts the amount of pitch shift (the amount of pitch change) in
semitone steps. By selecting “DETUNE,” you can add a slightly
pitch-shifted sound to the input sound, producing a detune effect.
* This effect can be used when the “P.Shift Type” parameter is set to
“MANUAL.”
D:E 100:0–0:100
This adjusts the volume balance of the direct and effect sounds.
Separation -50– +50
Adjusts the diffusion. The panning of the direct sound and effect
sound can be spread to left and right. This will be effective when
stereo output is used.
Preamp
Adjust the distortion and tone of the guitar sound.
* When all Bass, Middle and Treble are set to “0,” no sound may be
produced depending on the “Type” setting.
On/Off OFF, ON
Turns the preamp effect on/off.
