5. PHASER
(S/R = ON)
DEPTH/RESONANCE (d-r)
RATE (rAt)
BALANCE (bAL)
Adds modulation to the sound.
*
When Send/Return mode is on:
Adjusts both DEPTH and RESO-
NANCE simultaneously.
Adjusts the rate of modulation. Adjusts the volume balance be-
tween the direct sound and effect
sound.
(S/R = OFF)
DEPTH/MANUAL (dPt) RATE (rAt) RESONANCE (rES)
*
When Send/Return mode is off:
Adjusts the depth of modulation.
If the CTRL 2 knob (RATE) is
turned all the way to the left, this
knob adjusts the pitch (MANU-
AL).
Adjusts the rate of modulation. If
this knob is turned all the way to
the left, the modulation will stop,
and the CTRL 1 knob (DEPTH)
will adjust the pitch (MANUAL).
Gives a distinctive character to
the sound.
6. TREMOLO/PAN
DEPTH (dPt) RATE (rAt) WAVEFORM (trM/PAn)
Cyclically varies the volume or
pan.
Adjusts the amount of volume/
pan change.
Adjusts the speed of volume/
pan change.
Changes the type of curve by
which the volume or pan will
change cyclically. Turn the knob
toward the left for volume
change, or toward the right for
pan change.

8. OVERDRIVE
DRIVE (drV)
TONE (ton)
LEVEL (LEV)

Adjusts the amount of distortion. Adjusts the tone. Adjusts the volume.
9. FUZZ
DRIVE (drV)
TONE (ton)
LEVEL (LEV)
Adds overtones to the sound to
distort it intensely.

SENS (SnS)
FREQUENCY (Frq) RESONANCE (rES)
Creates a wah effect.
Adjusts the sensitivity of the wah
effect.
Adjusts the pitch of the effect
sound.
Adjusts the peak amount of the
wah.
11. OCTAVE
-2OCT LEVEL (oC2) -1OCT LEVEL (oC1) DIRECT LEVEL (dir)
Adds a lower pitch at octave in-
tervals.
Adds a pitch two octaves below. Adds a pitch one octave below. Adjusts the volume of the direct
sound.
12. COMP
(LIMIT = OFF)
SUSTAIN (SuS) ATTACK (Att) LEVEL (LEV)
Makes the volume more consis-
tent.
*
When Effect Limit mode is off:
Adjusts the amount of compres-
sion.
Adjusts the sense of attack. Adjusts the volume.
(LIMIT = ON) SUSTAIN (SuS) RELEASE (rEL) LEVEL (LEV)
*
When Effect Limit mode is on: Adjusts the amount of compres-
sion.
Adjusts the sense of release. Adjusts the volume.
13. EQUALIZER
LOW (Lo)
MID (Mid)
HIGH (Hi)
Adjusts the volume of each fre-
quency range.
Adjusts the volume of the low-
frequency range.
Adjusts the volume of the mid-
frequency range.
Adjusts the volume of the high-
frequency range.
14. LO-Fi
SAMPLE RATE (rAt) BIT (bit)
FILTER (FLt)
Gives the sound a low-fidelity
character.
Adjusts the sampling frequency. Adjusts the bit depth. Adjusts the filter depth.
15. NOISE GEN
COLOR (CoL) QUALITY (qLt)
LEVEL (LEV)

noise.
Adjusts how often scratch noise
(typical of an analog record) will
be heard.
Adjusts the level of the “shhh”
noise.
16. RADIO TUNING
TUNING (tun) NOISE LEVEL (noS) FREQUENCY RANGE (Frq)
Simulates the sound heard from
a radio.
Adjusts the tuning drift of a ra-
dio.
Adjusts the volume of the noise. Adjusts the tonal character.
17. SLICER
TIMING PTN (P01–16)
RATE (t1–t8) FEEDBACK (Fdb)
Repetitively cuts the sound. A
flanger is also applied.
Specifies the timing at which the
sound is cut. (
*2
)
Adjusts the length of TIMING
PTN. (
*3
)
Adjusts the depth of the flanger.
18. RING MOD
FREQUENCY (Frq)
SENS (SEn)
BALANCE (bAL)
Gives a metallic character to the
sound.
Adjusts the pitch of the metallic
sound.
Adjusts the depth of frequency
modulation.

the direct sound and effect
sound.
19. CHROMATIC PS
PITCH 1 (-C–CC) PITCH 2 (-C–CC) BALANCE (bAL)
This is a two-voice pitch shifter
that changes the pitch in semi-
tone steps.
Adjusts Pitch 1 in semitone steps
over a +/-1 octave range.
Adjusts Pitch 2 in semitone steps
over a +/-1 octave range.
