Using The Tuner - Alesis AcoustiFX Schnelles Hinweisbuch

Effect Quick Reference
Refer to chapter 10 of the User Manual
for more details on effect modules.
1. COMP/LIMIT – increasing levels of
compression (C1-C9) and limiting (L1-
L9).
2. TYPE – various types of acoustic-
guitar sounds such as Clean, Warm,
Bright, Rhythm, Jumbo and Drive.
3. EQ – includes a high-pass filter at
80Hz and four bands of EQ (LOW,
LO MID, HI MID and HIGH) that
range from -12dB to +12dB in 1.2dB
steps. See page 27 of the User Manual
for details.
4. EDGE – a filtered limiter that gives
your guitar a bright, edgy sound; it does
this by adding a high-pass filter to the
signal, feeding that filtered signal into a
limiter, and then mixing it back with
the original signal.
5. NOISE GATE – increasing levels of
noise gating, which eliminates
unwanted noise by muting the audio
signal until it rises above a certain point.
6. FX1 – a variety of stereo effects such
as Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Tremolo,
12-String, Slow Attack, Step Filter,
Wah, Rotary, Cry and more; most have
a separate setting for pedal control.
7. PARAM – direct-control parameter for
FX1; for most effects, can be set to
pedal control independent of the FX1
setting.

program.
