Using effects
The MR-8 provides the insert effects for recording (microphone and amplifier simulation
effects), the delay/reverb for track bounce or mixdown (for tracks 1 through 4 only) as well
as the mastering effects. The following describes how to use the effects and details about
each effect.
Using the insert effects for recording
As described briefly on page xx, the [INPUT A]
section of the MR-8 provides two types of insert
effects: microphone and amplifier simulation
effects.
These preset effects simulate popular micro-
phones and guitar amplifiers. If you use the mi-
crophone simulation effect when you record an
acoustic guitar through your microphone, you
can make recording as if you are using a famous
microphone. If you use the guitar amplifier simu-
lation effect when you record an electric guitar
directly connected to the MR-8, you can make
recording as if you are using a famous guitar
amplifier.
Mic simulation effects
You can use mic simulation effects when the [IN-
PUT A SELECT] switch on the rear panel is set to
"MIC/LINE".
You can choose from three mic simulation ef-
fects by pressing any of DYNAMIC, CONDENSER
and TUBE keys. The selected key is lit.
Details of each mic simulation effect

PUT A SELECT] switch on the rear panel is set to
"GUITAR". (Note that, when the switch is set to
"GUITAR", only the [UNBAL/GUITAR] connector
can be used.
You can choose from three guitar amp simula-
tion effects by pressing any of BRIT STACK, US
METAL and 60's COMBO keys. The selected key
