Changing the Effect Level You can also use the ER LEVEL control to adjust the effect level, that is, the level of the total effect output. To do so, press the EFF LEVEL key before turning the ER LEVEL control.

Use the REV TIME control to select the parameter you wish to edit, and to adjust the value assigned to the parameter you select. Please note that the parameters available for editing will vary with the effect type of the program you have selected. You can identify the effect type of a program by checking the upper right corner of the LCD.
