CS-2
While the CS-1 used an optical detector circuit, the next-generation CS-2 introduced a VCA for faster response. The compression is more versatile, enhanced by subtle distortion in the VCA circuitry that adds natural richness and character. Use the Attack knob to adjust the response to suit your personal touch and different music styles. NOTE This effect must be purchased separately for use. Use the “BOSS EFFECT LOADER” app (iOS/Android) to purchase this effect. |
Page | Parameter | Setting range | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | LEVEL | 0–100 | Adjusts the volume when the effect is used.
|
ATTACK | 0–100 | Adjusts the attack speed. Turning the knob clockwise makes the attack of each note sound clearer, even when picking fast. | |
SUSTAIN | 0–100 | Adjusts the sustain time (how long the sound rings out). Turn the knob clockwise for a longer sustain time. Turn the knob counterclockwise for a limiter effect, which keeps loud input signals down. | |
2 | CTL1 TARGET | OFF, LEVEL, ATTACK, SUSTAIN | Selects the parameter to control from a footswitch connected to CTL1. |
CTL1 MODE | MOMENT, TOGGLE | Selects the operation mode for the footswitch that’s connected to CTL1. | |
CTL1 VALUE | 0–100 | Sets the value for the parameter that’s controlled from a footswitch connected to CTL1. | |
3 | CTL2 TARGET | OFF, LEVEL, ATTACK, SUSTAIN | Selects the parameter to control from a footswitch connected to CTL2. |
CTL2 MODE | MOMENT, TOGGLE | Selects the operation mode for the footswitch connected to CTL2. | |
CTL2 VALUE | 0–100 | Selects the value for the parameter that’s controlled from a footswitch connected to CTL2. | |
4 | EXP TARGET | OFF, LEVEL, ATTACK, SUSTAIN | Selects the parameter controlled by an external expression pedal connected to the EXP jack. |
EXP MIN | 0–100 | Sets the minimum value for the parameter controlled by an expression pedal connected to the EXP jack. | |
EXP MAX | 0–100 | Sets the maximum value for the parameter controlled by an expression pedal connected to the EXP jack. | |
5 | PEDAL MODE | MOMENT, TOGGLE | Selects the operation mode for the pedal switch on the PX-1. |
ACTION | OFF Ó ON, ON Ó OFF | Sets how the pedal switch on this unit operates when PEDAL MODE is set to “MOMENT”. | |
