About amp models and effect types

This section provides details on the amp models, the various effects 1 and effects 2 types, noise reduction and the audio equalizer

Using Tone Room, you can select more amp models and effect types than those listed below and also store user programs.
Unnatural distortion may occur, depending on the amp and effect settings. If this occurs, adjust the amp and effect parameters.
If a parameter not available on the top panel is changed in Tone Room, the tone may become quite different from the original amp model or effect type.
For input outside of the bass range (high-frequency range of guitars), it is not possible to obtain a normal effect with the bass synthesizer.

Amp models

1. CLASSIC
   This vintage tube amp head is famous for being able to flip it and store it in the speaker cabinet. It’s warm sound is ideal for finger picking styles.

2. SLAP
   This model produces bright highs and scooped mids to cut through the mix, with a defined contour. Best used for slap styles.

3. ROCK
   This model is based on the world famous pre-amp in a black case. It’s sound contains aggressive highs and upper harmonic content. Best used for rock picking styles.

4. MODERN
   This model is based on the ever popular tube amplifier with it’s “ULTRA LOW” switch engaged. This produces Hi-Fi rock sounds.

5. DEEP
   This is the most aggressive bass sound that can be heard from 2010 and later. The input signal is divided into low-band with compression and high-band with distortion, best for heavy rock and prog metal.

6. TIGHT SYNTH (BASS SYNTHESIZER)
   This model produces pop synth bass sounds that can be heard in the 80’s and beyond. The solid sound is touch sensitive and very dynamic. Envelope Filter is included in BASS SYNTHESIZER models.
   TREBLE, MIDDLE and BASS knobs will be assigned to the filter control parameters when this model is selected.
   TREBLE: (FREQUENCY + RESONANCE) Adjusts the center frequency and the amount of resonance.
   MIDDLE: (DECAY) Adjusts the speed of response.
   BASS : (DEPTH) Adjusts the depth of the filter.

7. DIRTY SYNTH (BASS SYNTHESIZER)
   This synthesizer consists of multiple waves with distortion and produces an aggressive dirty sound that can be heard in alternative rock music. It’s distinctive sound can stand out in a loud band.
   Envelope Filter is included and TREBLE, MIDDLE and BASS knobs will be assigned to the filter control parameters as with TIGHT SYNTH.

8. DELUXE CL
   This models the Vibrato channel of a 22W blackface 60’s designed amp. Using 6V6 power tubes and a tube-driven spring reverb, this produces a big sound at a lower wattage.

9. AC30TB
   This models an AC30 amp with the “top boost” circuit of the 1964 AC30. It delivers a smooth and refined top end, a majestically deep overdrive, and a rich, brilliant clean sound.

10. DOUBLE REC
    This models the modern high-gain channel from a wild beast of an amp. Its deep and loose low-end, sparkling highs, and monstrous gain are ideal for guitars tuned as low as possible, or for metal acts wielding seven-string guitars.

11. FLAT
    This models is only a three-band tone control amplifier
    that produces a pure, clean tone. Setting TREBLE, MIDDLE, and BASS to the center will produce flat response of the preamp.
    If the input level is too high the sound may become distorted. To prevent this from happening reduce the gain in the preamp.

Effect types

Effects 1 types (FX1 knob):

COMP| This models a compressor pedal that is popular for its percussive clean sound. It can also produce a singing, mellow, sustain. Adjusts the sensitivity with the knob.
---|---
T.WAH| This models an auto-wah; a device that creates an automatic “wah” effect that varies with your picking dynamics (i.e., how hard or soft you hit the strings) – a quirky, but useful effect. Adjusts the sensitivity of response to the input volume with the knob.
FUZZ| This1nodels a bass fuzz pedal. Adjust the gain with the knob.
CHORUS| This models a stereo chorus, which creates a rich and spacious sound. Adjust the modulation speed with the knob.

Effects 2 types (FX2 knob) : delay/reverb types

A.DLY (ANALOG DELAY)| This models an analog delay that uses a Bucket Brigade Device (BBD ). Its audio quality is lo-fi, but it is popular for its warm sound. Adjust the mix amount of the delay sound with the knob.

Set the delay time with the TAP button. The maximum delay time is approximately 1 seconds.

---|---
WIDEDLY (W I DE DELAY)| This is a stereo delay effect that has slightly staggered notes from the right and left speakers. The operation of the knob and button and the maximum delay time are the same as with A.DLY.
SPRING| This simulates the spring reverb that’s built into many guitar amps. Adjust the mix amount of the reverb sound with the knob. Set the reverb time with the TAP button.
HALL| This models the reverberation of a concert hall containing numerous echo components. The operation of the knob and button is the same as with SPRING.

Noise reduction

This applies a noise-reducing effect.
