For some effect modules, you can select an effect type from several possible choices. For example, the MODULATION/DELAY module comprises Chorus, Flanger, and other effect types. The REVERB/ DELAYmodule comprises Hall, Room, and other effect types from which you can choose one.
L 9 This is a limiter that suppresses signal peaks above a certain reference level. The right-digit
value adjusts the limiter reference level.
Limiter
EFX (Effects) module
This module comprises modulation effects such as tremolo and phaser.
EFX (Type&Prm)
Selects the EFX module effect type and adjusts the effect intensity.
Explanation of symbols
Module selector
Tap
TAP
The Module selector symbol shows the position of the knob at which this module/parameter is called up.
Expression pedal
A [TAP] icon in the listing indicates a parameter that can be set with the [BANK UP·TAP] key.
A1 F1 O1 T1 P1 R1
Auto Wah A 9 This effect varies wah in accordance with the input signal intensity. Higher setting values result
in higher effect sensitivity.
F 9 This effect varies the frequency band of the resonance filter according to the input signal
intensity. Higher setting values result in higher effect sensitivity.
Resonance Filter
A pedal icon in the listing indicates a parameter that can be controlled with the built-in or an external expression pedal. When this item is selected, the parameter in the module can then be controlled in real time with a connected expression pedal.
When the respective module/effect type is selected in edit mode and the [BANK UP·TAP] key is pressed repeatedly, the parameter (such as modulation rate or delay time) will be set according to the interval in which the key is pressed.
O 9 This effect adds a one-octave lower component to the original sound. Higher setting values
increase the level of the effect sound (one-octave lower sound).
Octave
T 9 This effect periodically varies the volume. Higher setting values result in faster modulation
rate.
Tremolo
Phaser
P 9 This effect produces sound with a pulsating character. Higher setting values result in faster
modulation rate.
R 9 This effect produces a metallic ringing sound. Higher setting values result in higher modulation
frequency.

Effect Types and Parameters
Effect Types and Parameters
D1 S1 V1
Defret D 9 This effect makes the sound of a fretted bass resemble that of a fretless bass. Higher setting
values result in higher effect sensitivity.
When MONO SYN effect type is selected S 1 S 5 Variation
S 9 This effect reduces the attack rate of each individual note, producing a violin playing style
sound. Higher setting values result in slower attack times.
Slow Attack
P1 M1
P 5 Allows selection of the oscillator waveform type and tone variation. Available settings are "s" M 5 (sawtooth), "p" (square), and "m" (PWM = pulse width modulation).
V 9 This effect simulates the half-open sound of a vintage Vox wah pedal. Higher setting values
result in higher emphasized frequency.
Pedal Vox
MIX (Prm2)
Sets the DRIVE module parameter 2. This parameter is the same for all effect types.
DRIVE module
This module includes 13 types of amp/stomp box modeling effects and a bass synthesizer. For this module, DRIVE (effect type), GAIN (parameter 1), and MIX (parameter 2) can be adjusted separately.
0
Mix 1 0 Sets the mixing balance between the signal before the DRIVE module and the signal after
passing the module. Higher setting values result in more drive sound.
DRIVE (Type)
Selects the effect type for the DRIVE module.

AG SW BM TE SA OD
AMPEG
Effect modeled on the sound of the ultimate rock bass amp, the Ampeg SVT.
SB AC HA TU TS DS
SUPER BASS
Simulation of the Marshall Super Bass head amp that has made rock history.
EQ module
This is a 3-band equalizer. For this module, the three items EQ LO, EQ MID, and EQ HI can be adjusted separately.
SWR
Simulation of the SWR SM-900, famous for its hi-fi sound.
ACOUSTIC
Effect modeled on the sound of the Acoustic 360 with its tight midrange.
EQ LO (Prm)
Adjusts the LO band of the EQ module. [. . . ] Simulates the combination of the Acoustic 360 head amp and 301 cabinet. Subdued high range and firm midrange produce an appealing vintage style tone. Simulates the SWR sound as produced by the SM-900 head amp together with the Goliath cabinet. Place your finger on the rear pickup of a Jazz Bass and try out those cool phrases from "Three Views Of A Secret. " This patch is inspired by the legendary Motown bass player James Jamerson. [. . . ]
