Applying Effects
The MG12XUK features high-quality built-in signal processing effects that are in the same league as our famed SPX
effect processor series. Applying effects (as described below) allows you to simulate the acoustics of different perfor-
mance environments.
1. Turn the [PROGRAM] knob to select a desired
effect program number from the effect program
list.
The currently selected effect program number flashes
on the display.
NOTE
For details about the effect programs, refer to the “Effect Pro-
grams” list on the right side.
2. Press the [PROGRAM] knob to actually select it.
The desired effect program is selected.
3. Turn on ( ) the [FX ON] switch.
4. Set the [FX RTN LEVEL] knob to the “” position.
5. Turn the [FX] knob of the channel to which you
want to apply the effect to adjust the effect amount.
Effect Programs
* “LFO” stands for Low Frequency Oscillator. An LFO is normally
used to periodically modulate another signal, using different
waveform shapes and modulation speeds.

No. Program Parameter Description
1 REV HALL 1 Reverb Time
Reverb simulating a large space
such as a concert hall.
2 REV HALL 2 Reverb Time
3 REV ROOM 1 Reverb Time
Reverb simulating the acoustics
of a small space (room).
4 REV ROOM 2 Reverb Time
5 REV STAGE 1 Reverb Time
Reverb simulating a large stage.
6 REV STAGE 2 Reverb Time
7 REV PLATE Reverb Time
Simulation of a metal-plate
reverb unit, producing a more
hard-edged reverberation.
8 DRUM AMB Reverb Time
A short reverb that is ideal for
use with a drum kit.
9 EARLY REF Room Size
An effect which isolates only the
early reflection components
from reverberation, creating a
‘flashier’ effect than conven-
tional reverb.
10 GATE REV Delay Time
An effect which cuts halfway the
tail-end of the reverberation,
making a more powerful sound.
11 SINGLE DLY Delay Time
An effect which repeats the
same sound only once. Short-
ening the delay time produces a
doubling effect.
12 DELAY Delay Time
Feedback delay adding multiple
delayed signals.
13 VOCAL ECHO Delay Time
Echo designed for conventional
vocals.
14 KARAOKE Delay Time
Echo designed for karaoke
(sing-along) applications.
15 PHASER LFO* Freq
Cyclically changes the phase to
add modulation to the sound.
16 FLANGER LFO* Freq
Adds modulation to the sound,
producing an effect similar to
the rise and fall sound of a jet
engine.
17 CHORUS 1 LFO* Freq Creates a thicker ensemble-like
sound by adding the multiple
sounds with different delay
times.
18 CHORUS 2 LFO* Freq
19 SYMPHONIC LFO* Depth
Multiplies the sound for thicker
texture.
20 TREMOLO LFO* Freq
An effect which cyclically mod-
ulates the volume.
21 AUTO WAH LFO* Freq
A wah-wah effect with cyclical
filter modulation. The [PA-RAM-
ETER] knob adjusts the speed
of the LFO* that modulates the
“wah” filter.
22 RADIO VOICE Cutoff Offset
Recreates the lo-fi sound of an
AM radio. The [PARAMETER]
knob adjusts the frequency
band to be emphasized.
23 DISTORTION Drive
Adds a sharp-edged distortion
to the sound.
24 PITCH CHANGE Pitch
An effect which changes the
pitch of the signal.
