Step 7. Using effects
The PXR4 provides 77 types of effects. It contains 100 pre-
set and 100 user effect programs that combine these effects
in various ways.
The preset memories contain effect programs created by
professional musicians and studio engineers.
The user memories can hold effect programs that you
yourself create by editing the presets.
There are four types of effect programs: guitar effects,
insert effects, master effects, and final effects.

Using a master effect
One master effect is built-in. Use the “Send-L,” “Send-R”

reverb) or stereo modulation, to enhance the overall depth
of the song, and to improve the balance.
