EXTREME
This is an extreme sound with intense distortion.
This is a high-gain sound that packs a lot of punch in the low end,
while delivering a great deal of edge in the upper range.
You can obtain variations in the sound by moving the [MIDDLE] knob.
If you turn on HEAVY OCTAVE, you can achieve an even greater sense
of distortion in the low end.
Space Clean
This is a transparent sound using spacial eects.
Select the JC CLEAN amp, modeled on the Roland JC-120, then add
chorus and long delay.
Using this setting with a guitar equipped with single coil pickups
makes great sounding arpeggios and chord strumming.
Depending on the phrase being played, it can be eective to set the
delay sound’s delay time slightly slower than the phrase’s tempo.
Power Grunge
This produces a raging distortion sound that is very trebly and roughly
textured.
Setting the [GAIN] knob to prevent excessive distortion of the guitar
sound results in a straight guitar sound with brilliant harmonics and
powerful chord sounds.
You can also add the FLANGER to produce a sound with a powerful
swirling eect, much like the sound from a jet.
Additionally, using the guitar’s front pickup and raising the [GAIN] and
[MIDDLE] knobs results in a fat lead sound with long sustain.
Alternative Metal
The perfect sound for heavy, sharp ris.
Select the high-gain METAL STACK, then use the equalizer to boost the
low end even more.
Used with a humbucking pickup in the rear position, it results in an
extreme distortion eect.
Plus, you can add a long delay to use this as a lead sound with great
sustain.
Adding a short delay produces a doubling sound like that from two
performers playing the same phrases simultaneously.
