manual abstract
The left position of the slope switch is the flat or full response position. The center position allows a 100 hertz rolloff, with the right position providing a 150 hertz rolloff. Experimentation will allow the musician to select the proper position to suit his individual taste or playing requirements. 7. The reverb control is a return level control and determines how much of the delayed reverb signal is mixed back into the normal signal. This control is conventional in operation and should provide more than adequate reverb for any playing requirement. The reverb effect is controlled remotely by depressing the appropriate button of the footswitch. 8. The overdrive control is used to determine the amount of distortion introduced into the output signal. The distortion produced in your F-800 is very similar in harmonic content to the signal produced by an over-driven tube type amp. We have achieved this novel effect through the use of non-linear feedback in a unique and exclusive circuit recently developed by our engineers. Varying the harmonic structure of the signal has the effect of greatly increasing the apparent loudness since the additional harmonics actually multiply the energy of the signal. By adjusting the overdrive control the amount and blpnd of harmonic distortion can be precisely controlled. Dramatic effects are obtained by setting the overdrive featurel and then tailoring the response with the equalizer and tone controls. The use of the equalizer in conjunction with the overdrive enables the musician to select any tonal range for emphasis and allows sustain, control of harmonics, and coloration never before possible. The dynamics made available with these controls will allow complete freedom in seeking the sound desired for any purpose. It is important to note that the overdrive is not a fuzz type of distortion, and it is characterized by its fullness and softner nature. The overdrive feature is controllable from the remote footswitch by depressing the proper button. 9. The fuzz control (F-800G only) is the output level control for a conventional "clipper” type fuzz unit. This function is similar to conventional fuzz circuits and produces the characteristic fuzz sounds. The F-800G is equipped with a new dual channel fuzz circuit that allows additional distortion effects that are completely different in nature from those achieved with overdrive. Further sustain and distortion effects are possible by using the overdrive and fuzz circuits in combination. 10. The phasor control is a part of the fuzz circuit and serves to blend in a mildly distorted signal that is of the same phase as the fuzz signal. The phasor signal is fatter and fuller than the straight fuzz signal with high order second harmonic distortion content. The two fuzz controls may be considered as comprising a two channel mixer enabling the musician to blend as much sharp (Fuzz) and mellow (Phasor) distortion as desired to get both the proper blend and the proper volume level. Experimentation will be required to find the appropriate settings. 11. The depth control (F-800G only) is the tremolo effect element and determines the amount of amplitude modulation present in the output signal. 12. The rate control is the element controlling the rate of the t...
