When creating your own sound, you must first start with an existing preset. Note that the preset you begin with doesn't have to be in the memory location you intend to have it reside, since you can store it to any User preset location during the store procedure. The easiest way to start is by using the Tone Library and Effects Library knobs. The Tone Library knob will let you select from a variety of pre-programmed amp/distortion tones (see page 47) based on different musical styles. The Effects Library knob will then let you select from a palette of effects chains (see page 48), from simple delays to full multi-effect signals with modulation, delay and reverb. Use the Effects Level Knob to easily increase or decrease the Chorus/FX, Delay and Reverb levels if desired. Using these three controls should get you close to a sound you are after. From there you can then use the Edit buttons to navigate through the individual effects for some fine tune edits. If you are trying to find something different from the existing presets, begin by using the Tone Library, Effects Library and Effects Level knobs to get close to a sound you want. Press the Edit Up/Down buttons to begin selecting the individual Effects rows to edit their parameters. A Compressor is used to increase sustain, tighten up guitars, and prevent the signal from clipping the input of other effects. Comp Model - Knob 1 selects one of two Compressor models: DIGCMP (DigiTech® Compressor) or CSCOMP (Based on a Boss® CS-2 Compressor/Sustainer). Tone/Attack-Knob3 adjusts the tone for the DigiTech Compressor, or attack for the Boss CS-2. Attack (X-EditTM only for DigiComp) - Adjusts the amount of time the Compressor takes to respond to a signal that exceeds the threshold. Ranges from 0 to 99. Compressor Distortion The DSP256 models the tones of 13 popular distortion stompboxes, each of which can be tweaked and modified, just like the real thing. Press this knob to turn the Distortion on and off. 21 scream - Based on an Ibanez® TS-9 808 - Based on an Ibanez TS-808 Tube Screamer oddriv - Based on a Guyatone® Overdrive OD-2 dod250 - Based on a DOD® 250 Overdrive/Preamp rodent - Based on a Pro Co RATTM mxdist - Based on an MXR® Distortion + DSDist - Based on a Boss® DS-1TM Distortion grunge - DigiTech® Grunge zone - Based on a Boss MT-2 Metal Zone® death - DigiTech Death Metal gonklt - Based on a DOD Gonkulator Ring Mod fuzz - Based on an Arbiter® Fuzz FaceTM big pi - Based on an Electro-Harmonix® Big Muff Pi® DigiTech and DOD are trademarks of Harman International Industries, Inc.
