What follows is a description of each category and the effects it contains. We recommend that you refer to these descriptions whenever setting effects. Each category's effect table indicates which of the effect units - i.e., Reverb (Rev), Chorus (Cho), or Variation (Var) - can be used to apply the effect in question. Any effect marked using a  symbol can be selected and modified on the corresponding effect unit's parameter setting pages.  Compressor & EQ The compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (i.e., softness or loudness) of an audio signal. In the case of vocals, guitar parts, and other signals that have widely varying dynamics, this effect essentially squeezes the dynamic range, making soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer. Furthermore, a compressor's attack and decay characteristics can be adjusted to modify how punchy or sustained an audio signal sounds. Multi-band compression, meanwhile, splits the input into three different frequency bands for processing independent of each other; accordingly, this type of effect can be thought of as combining compression with equalization. Effect Type Compressor MltBndComp 3 Band EQ Vintage EQ Enhancer Var Description  Relatively fast-acting compressor well suited to solo performances.  Three-band compressor.  Three-band compressor also featuring equalization.  Vintage five-band parametric equalizer.  Adds higher-order harmonics to enhance a sound's presence.
