8. Editing Effects
Don’t like the Reverb, Harmony, Echo or Chorus that you hear? You can adjust
both the Level (volume) and Style (sound of the effect) to dial in just the right
combination for your music.
To edit an effect, simply PRESS & HOLD the effect button. You’ll know you’re in
EDIT mode because the effect button will pulse.
The LED ring serves as both a Level and Style control. As you turn the knob
clockwise, the LED segments will fill up, indicating that you’re turning up the
Level of the current style.
When you completely fill the LED ring, the color will change, letting you know
that you’ve now changed the Style of the effect.
Continuing to turn the Control Knob clockwise will increase the Level of that
Style. Turning the knob counter-clockwise will reduce the level until you
change style.
We’ve tried to relate the color of the LED ring to the type of style from “least”
to “most”.
Blue = smallest/least, like slap echo (very short) or room reverb (also short) or
guitar chorus (least extreme of the guitar effects)
Purple = medium, like 1/8
th
note echo, club reverb or guitar flanger
Red = most, like ¼ note echo, hall reverb or guitar detune
Harmony works slightly differently than the other effects, since there are more
styles to choose from.
When you first hold the harmony button to enter edit mode, you’ll be greeted
with a level control. Unlike the other effects, this is simply a minimum to
maximum control and applies regardless of which harmony style you’ve chosen.
Once in edit mode, tap the harmony button again to toggle between level control
and style control.
Each effect has three different styles to choose from, with the exception of
Harmony, which offers 13.
