Effect Types and Parameters
Linking Effects
The patches of the G1/G1X consist of eight
serially linked effect modules, as shown in the
illustration below. You can use all effect
modules together or selectively set certain
modules to on or off.
Explanation of symbols
● Module selector
The Module selector symbol
shows the position of the knob at
which this module/parameter is
called up.
● Expression pedal
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.
● Tap
A [TAP] icon in the listing
indicates a parameter that can be
set with the [BANK UP•TAP]
key.
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.

For some effect modules, you can select an effect type from several possible choices. For example, the
MODULATION module comprises Chorus, Flanger, and other effect types. The REVERB module
comprises Hall, Room, and other effect types from which you can choose one.

■PATCH LEVEL
■COMP/EFX (Compressor/EFX) module
■DRIVE module
PATCH LEVEL (Prm)
Determines the overall volume level of the patch.
Sets the patch level in the range from 2 – 98, 1.0. A setting of 80 corresponds to unity gain (input level
and output level are equal).
This module comprises the effects that control the level dynamics such as compressor, and
modulation effects such as tremolo and phaser.
COMP/EFX (Type&Prm)
Adjusts the COMP/EFX module effect type and intensity.
Compressor
This is an MXR Dynacomp type compressor. It attenuates high-level signal components and boosts
low-level signal components, to keep the overall signal level within a certain range. Higher setting
values result in higher sensitivity.
Auto Wah
This effect varies wah in accordance with picking intensity. Higher setting values result in higher
sensitivity.
Booster
Raises signal level and creates a dynamic sound. Higher setting values result in higher gain.
Tremolo
This effect periodically varies the volume. Higher setting values result in faster modulation rate.
Phaser
This effect produces sound with a pulsating character. Higher setting values result in faster modulation
rate.
Ring Mod (Ring Modulator)
This effect produces a metallic ringing sound. Higher setting values result in higher modulation
frequency.
Slow Attack
This effect reduces the attack rate of each individual note, producing a violin playing style sound.
Higher setting values result in slower attack times.
Vox Wah
This effect simulates a half-open vintage VOX wah pedal. Higher setting values result in higher
emphasized frequency.
Cry Wah
This effect simulates a half-open vintage Crybaby wah pedal. Higher setting values result in higher
emphasized frequency.
This module includes 20 types of distortion and an acoustic simulator. For this module, the two
items DRIVE and GAIN can be adjusted separately.
DRIVE (Type)
Selects the effect type for the DRIVE module.
FD Clean VX Clean
Clean sound of a Fender Twin Reverb ('65
model) favored by guitarists of many
music styles.
Clean sound of the combo amp VOX AC-
30 operating in class A.
