MPSIM

/EQ

This effect section combines an equalizer with amplifier and speaker cabinet sim-

ulation, for overdrive effects. This effect is mono in/out.

RIVE

The Drive knob controls the amount of overdrive for the Ampsim section. If the

Drive LED is on, it indicates that overdrive is active.

SECTION

This is a 3-band equalizer which features controls for bass, midrange and treble.

When there is no amp modelling, the EQ operates like a standard mixer EQ,

with +/- 15 dB boost/cut for each band .

When amp modelling is used, boosting and/or cutting will produce different

tonal charcteristiscs, depending the selected amp model.

MODEL

You select a type of amplifier/speaker simulation using the S

ELECTOR

button

in the Amp Model section. There are three Types available, with different char-

acteristiscs. If all LEDs are off, the effect combines EQ with overdrive (no amp/

speaker modelling).

GLOBAL EFFECTS

If activated, the Compressor and Reverb effects will process all signals routed to the

CH 1/CH 2 outputs, but do not affect any signals routed to the CH 3/CH 4 outputs.

Both these effects are stereo in/out.

OMPRESSOR

The Compressor will even out the dynamics of what you play, making low level

sounds louder and high level sounds lower. This produces a tight, punchy sound and

makes the overall level easier to control in a live mix situation. You activate the Com-

pressor using the O

button. The A

MOUNT

knob logically controls the amount of

compression applied.

EVERB

The Reverb section simulates the natural sound reflections in various acoustic environ-

ments. You can choose between three basic reverb types:

• Hall - a spacious reverb environment with long decay.

• Stage - a medium sized environment.

• Room - this produces room ambience with a short decay.

The D

RY/WET

knob sets the balance between the unprocessed and the processed signal.
