GUITAR AMP
Simulates playing through a guitar amp.
MEMO
Since the [DRIVE] knob faithfully simulates the
volume knob of a guitar amp, turning the knob
toward the left will also decrease the volume.
5
ROTARY This simulates a rotary eect suitable for organ sounds.
MEMO
For details, refer to “Eect Parameter Guide (PDF).
For details on how to obtain the PDF, refer to “Obtaining PDF
Manuals” on the front cover.
Simulating the Creation of Organ
Tones
These settings are available only if a TW-Organ (tonewheel organ)
tone is selected.
On a tonewheel organ, you can create original sounds by sliding
nine harmonic bars (drawbars) forward or backward to change their
relative balance. Each bar is assigned a dierent footage, and this
footage determines the pitch of the sound. 8’ is the footage that
forms the basic pitch of the sound; this is the center around which
you create the tone.
For details, refer to “Creating the Organ Tones” (p. 22).
