PD SHIFT (Pedal Shift)
Specifies the amount of shift for the pitch shifted sound.
ON/OFF
Switches the pedal shift on/off.
PITCH -24–+24
Specifies the amount of pitch shift controlled by the pedal.
STRNG Hi–Lo (String) ON/OFF
Switches pedal pitch shift on/off for each string. This lets
you modify the pitch of only specific strings.
SET PDL (Setting Pedal)
Assigns the pitch shift function to the built-in EXP pedal.
The value of the PITCH parameter at the time when the SET
PDL ([F6]) is pressed, will be the value when the built-in EXP
pedal is pressed all the way to the maximum point. When the
EXP pedal is returned to the minimum point, the PITCH
value will be 0.
POLY OCTAVE
(Polyphonic octave)
This simulates an octave performance effect.
ON/OFF
Switch the octave on/off.
* You can turn the VALUE dial to select PRESET.
-1OCT Hi–Lo 0–100
Adds a pitch one octave below the original sound.
DIR Hi–Lo (Direct) 0–100
Adjusts the level of the original sound.
POLY DISTORTION
(Polyphonic distortion)
Independently distorts the sound of each string to create a
sound that does not become “muddy” when chords are
played.
ON/OFF
Turns distortion on/off.
* You can turn the VALUE dial to select PRESET.
TYPE

DRIVE 0–100

strings to produce a consistent volume balance.
POLY BAL (Poly balance) 0–100
Adjusts the sound separation between the strings when
played in chords. Each string sounds separated when
adjusted to the greater value. The sound will be equivalent to
the normal distortion when the value is set to 0.
OD1
(Overdrive 1)
Produces a clear overdriven sound.
OD2
(Overdrive 2)
