Types

Press the [SELECT] button to switch between three types of effect.

MIC/GUITAR

Applies effects to a mic or guitar.
You can also use this to apply effects to a vocal or narration, or to make your guitar sound more powerful.

MASTERING

Makes the overall volume and loudness more consistent.
The vacuum tube amp simulator (TUBE SIMULATOR) provides the fat and warm sound that’s distinctive of a vacuum tube, and 

auto-level (AUTO-LEVEL) automatically adjusts the sound if the volume is suddenly excessive or insufficient.
This can also improve the tone quality of old analog sources such as cassette tapes or vinyl records.

TOTAL MIX

Applies effects to a mic or guitar while shaping an overall well-balanced sound.

What the effect knobs do

Types

: MIC/GUITAR

FX VOICE/DRIVE

When the [MIC/GUITAR] 

switch is set to “MIC”

By modifying the formants and pitch of the voice, this lets you give the sound a completely 

different character. Positioning the effect knob in the middle allows the natural sound of the 

voice; turning the knob toward the left produces a lower and heavier voice, and turning the 

knob toward the right produces a higher and thinner voice.

When the [MIC/GUITAR] 

switch is set to “GUITAR”

Adjusts the amount of distortion for the amp simulator. Turning the knob toward the right 

produces a stronger effect. For more about the amp simulator, refer to “Changing the type of 

guitar amp.”

ENHANCER

Sharpens the definition of the sound and boosts the high-frequency region, allowing you to clarify the sound.

CHORUS

Adds depth and spaciousness to the sound, giving it a sense of stereo.

REVERB

Adds reverberation to create a spacious and dynamic sound.

Types

: MASTERING

TUBE - FAT&WARM

Simulates the warm and fat sound that is distinctive of vacuum tubes.

AUTO-LEVEL

Keeps the volume consistent and stable, even if there is a sudden increase or decrease in the volume of the sound being 

played back from the computer or of the signal from the input jacks.

MASTER-Lo

Suppresses distortion in the low-frequency region, producing a fat, stable, and consistent sound.

MASTER-Hi

Suppresses distortion in the high-frequency region, producing a stable and consistent sound.
