When FLAT is selected, the high cut filter will have no effect. EFFECT LEVEL 0­100 Adjusts the volume of the effect sound. 115 Chapter 8 Parameters Guide FX (Effects) MOD1, MOD2 For MOD1 and MOD2, you can choose one of the following effect types.

This lets you cut the low-end component below the set frequency to create a clear, distinct low end, thereby bringing out the high end of the effect. Adjusts the volume of the direct sound. MANUAL 0 ­100 DEPTH 0­100 Adjusts the depth of the effect. RESO (Resonance) 0­100 PAN This is a stereo effect that pans the sound alternately between the left and right outputs, making the sound fly back and forth between the speakers.
