Effect type
For every effect module, the last basic parameter setting is " o F ". When this is selected, the respective module is turned off, which means that it will not affect the sound output by the 505 II. (The effect is the same as when both [ ]/[ ] foot switches are pressed together in edit mode. )
MOD module basic parameters
This effect module comprises effects such as chorus, flanger, and tremolo. Use the [+]/[-] keys to select the effect type and adjust the effect intensity.

PEDAL SLOW ATTACK (Pedal Slow Attack)
Using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the CONTROL IN jack, the attack rate can be adjusted.
For some effect modules, you can select an effect type from several possible choices. For example, the MOD module comprises CHORUS, FLANGER, TREMOLO, and other effect types. The DLY/REV module comprises DELAY, HALL, ROOM, etc.

Expression pedal
A pedal icon ( ) in the listing indicates a parameter that can be controlled with the expression pedal (FP01/FP02). When such a parameter is selected, the respective module can be controlled in real time with a connected expression pedal.
Except for pedal wah, when a parameter marked with a pedal icon is selected, the sound will correspond to the representative setting of that effect.
The COMP module and MOD module allow you to choose two effect types simultaneously, such as COMPRESSOR > AUTO WAH or DOUBLING > CHORUS.
If there is no parameter marked with a pedal icon selected in the entire patch, the expression pedal operates as a volume pedal.
