Using the Effects
OVERDRIVE/DISTORTION
fig.0130
These are effects that distort the sound.
You can use the TYPE knob in combination with
[VARIATION] to get 22 different types of distortion.
OD/DS pedal
Each time you press the pedal, the effect switches through
Overdrive/Distortion ON and OFF. When switched on, the
OVERDRIVE/DISTORTION indicator and pedal indicator
light up.
DRIVE knob
Adjusts the amount of distortion. Turning the knob to the
right (clockwise) creates a stronger distortion and increases
the volume. Turning this all the way to the TURBO range
increases the effect even more.
BOTTOM knob
Adjusts the low frequency range. Turning the knob to the left
(counterclockwise) cuts the low end more; the low
frequencies are boosted as the knob is turned to the right.
TONE knob
Adjusts the tone. Turning the knob to the left creates a milder
sound; a sharper sound is produced as the knob is turned to
the right.
LEVEL knob
Adjusts the volume.
* Noise may be mixed in if you turn the LEVEL knob up too
high. Adjust the LEVEL knob so that the apparent volume
level remains the same whether the effects are on or off.
