FX1/FX2/FX3

OFF, ON

Turns this effect on/off.

Refer to “FX1/FX2/FX3 FX TYPE”.

Compressor

This is an effect that produces a long sustain by evening out the volume level of the input signal.

Limiter

Attenuates loud input levels to prevent distortion.

Enhancer

This emphasizes the attack portion of the sound according to the changes in input level, adding more definition to the input audio.

Touch wah

You can produce a wah effect with the filter changing in response to the bass level.

Auto wah

This effect changes the filtering over a periodic cycle, producing an automatic wah effect.

Fixed wah

Gives a wah effect when the wah pedal is stopped at a midrange position.

Defretter

This simulates a fretless bass.

Envelope filter

Models the Mu-Tron III made by Musitronics.

The filter operates according to the input strength, producing a wah effect. The filter lets only the low-frequency region pass through.

Bass synth

This processes the bass input sound to produce a synth sound.

The filter operates differently according to how strongly you play the bass and what pitch you play.

• Be sure to mute all the other strings and play only one note at a time.

Slow gear

This produces a volume-swell effect (“violin-like” sound).

Acoustic bass

Simulates the sound of an acoustic bass.

Feedbacker

Generates feedback.

Overdrive distortion

This effect distorts the sound to create long sustain.

Parametric equalizer

This adjusts the tone. You can adjust the sound character in three bands.

Graphic equalizer

This adjusts the tone. You can adjust the sound character in six bands.

Low graphic equalizer

This adjusts the tone. You can adjust six bands in the lower frequency range.

High graphic equalizer

This adjusts the tone. You can adjust six bands in the higher frequency range.

Chorus

This is an effect that adds a slightly modulated sound to the direct signal, creating beautiful spaciousness and depth.

Flanger

The flanger effect gives a twisting, jet-airplane-like character to the sound.

Phaser

Gives a whooshing, swirling character to the sound by adding varied-phase portions to the direct sound.

Script phaser

Models the MXR Phase 90 which was manufactured during the ‘70s.

Classic vibe

Although this resembles a phaser effect, it also provides a unique undulation that you can’t get with a regular phaser.

Rotary

This produces an effect like the sound of a rotary speaker.

Vibrato

This effect creates vibrato by slightly modulating the pitch.

Tremolo

This effect creates a cyclic change in volume.

Slicer

This consecutively interrupts (or slices) the sound to create the effect of a rhythm backing phrase being played.

Overtone

This effect uses MDP technology to add new harmonics to the sound, producing resonance and richness that was not present in the original sound.

Pan

With the volume level of the left and right sides alternately changing, when playing sound in stereo, you can get an effect that makes the guitar sound appear to fly back and forth between the speakers.

Ring modulator

This creates a bell-like sound by ring-modulating the bass sound with the signal from the internal oscillator. The sound can be unmusical and lack distinctive pitches.

Humanizer

This effect alters the bass sound to make it sound like a human voice.

Pitch shifter

This effect changes the pitch of the original sound (up or down) within a range of two octaves.

Harmonist

Harmonist is an effect where the amount of shifting is adjusted according to an analysis of the bass input, allowing you to create harmony based on diatonic scales.

Octave

This adds a note one octave lower and a note two octaves lower, creating a richer sound.

Heavy octave

Adds pitches one and two octaves lower than the input audio. This also applies when you play chords, adding thickness to the chords you play.

S-bend

Gives a pitch shift up/down effect that’s not possible when using typical bass vibrato bar techniques.

Pedal bend

This is a pitch bend effect that’s controlled by operating the expression pedal on this unit or by using an expression pedal connected to the CTL 2, 3/EXP 2 jack.

Tune down

Gives the effect of tuning your bass guitar lower.

Delay

This effect adds delayed sound to the direct sound, to give more body to the sound or create special effects.
