Introduction

into one unit. Instead of turning knobs and pushing buttons

on pedal after pedal, with the AcoustiFX you have full

control over dozens of effects with one foot pedal! It’s that

easy.

Effect Modules

If you were to think of the AcoustiFX as a series of individual

pedals linked together, then each pedal in that series would be

considered an effect module. The AcoustiFX has eight

separate effect modules, as shown below:

You can assign one effect to each of these modules and

adjust its parameters accordingly. On the face of the unit,

you’ll see a list of possible effect types for some of these

modules. For more on effect modules, see chapter 10.

Effect Types

When we use the word “effect” in this manual, we’re usually

referring to an effect type. Each module provides you with a

selection of effect types, only one of which may be chosen

for each module. For example, the TYPE module allows you

to select which type of acoustic sound you want (Clean,

Warm, Bright, Rhythm and others). The behavior of each of

these effect types may be adjusted in one or more ways to

produce variations of the effect.

Parameters

A parameter is a control that changes the characteristics of an

effect. When we use the word “parameter,” we are referring

to the “direct control” parameter available to the FX1 and

FX2 modules. The parameters for FX1 and FX2 are labeled

PARAM on the face of the AcoustiFX. The characteristic

controlled by a parameter varies from effect to effect.
