■ Adjusting an effect

When an effect and pattern have been selected, you can further adjust the effect to your liking.

1. Select the effect as described above.

2. Select the pattern as described above.

3. Use the MIX LEVEL control to adjust the balance between DRY and WET sound.

4. Use the EQ LOW control to adjust the low-frequency boost or cut.

Turning the control to the left (counterclockwise) attenuates the low frequencies and turning the control

to the right (clockwise) emphasizes them. In the center position (pointing straight up), frequency

response is flat.

5. Use the EQ HIGH control to adjust the high-frequency boost or cut.

Turning the control to the left (counterclockwise) attenuates the high frequencies and turning the control

to the right (clockwise) emphasizes them. In the center position (pointing straight up), frequency

response is flat.

6. Use the EDIT1 and EDIT2 controls to adjust the effect parameters.

Note: Which parameters are assigned to the EDIT1 and EDIT2 controls depends on the selected effect. For

details, please refer to the chapter "Effect Types, Effect Patterns, Effect Parameters" on page 24.

The effect has now been adjusted.

Caution: The LOW and HIGH EQ controls on the front panel affect only the WET (effect) sound, not the DRY

(original) sound. If the output sounds distorted although the PEAK indicator does not light up frequently,

an EQ control may be set to a position which causes excessive boost. Try adjusting the control if this

occurs.

■ Turning effect processing on and off

Normally, when the 1204 is turned on, effect processing is automatically enabled. This is called the "effects on" or

"active" condition. In this condition, the EFFECT indicator is lit. Temporarily disabling effect processing is called

the "effects off" or "inactive" condition. In this condition, the EFFECT indicator is out.

By switching between the active and inactive condition, you can easily verify the sonic character of an effect.

During a performance, switching can also be used to dramatically highlight a passage.

By looking at the EFFECT indicator you can quickly tell whether effects are on or off.

Try switching between effects on and effects off as described below.

Switching effects off

1. Verify that the EFFECT indicator is lit and the output sound is the effect sound.

2. Press the EFFECT key on the front panel.

3. The EFFECT indicator goes out and effects are off.

Caution: When effects are off, only the DRY sound is output. Since the MIX LEVEL control operates as usual,

turning it fully towards the WET position causes the output to be cut off entirely.

Switching effects on

1. Verify that the EFFECT indicator is out and the output sound is the original sound.

2. Press the EFFECT key on the front panel.

3. The EFFECT indicator comes on and effects are on.
