FX550

functions

are

divided

into

three

sections:

Input

control

section,

Effects

section,

and

Out-

put

control

section.

There

are

also

three

supporting

sections:

Operating

section,

Connecting

sec-

tion,

and

Display

section.

The

Effects

section,

which

applies

various

effects

to

the

guitar

sound,

is

composed

of

four

effects

(COMP,

DIST,

EQ,

Amp

Simulator),

and

two

Effects

Sections

(MOD

and

REV).

The

MOD

section

contains

11

effects,

and

the

REV

contains

5

effects.

One

effect

from

each

can

be

selected

at

a

time.

of

the

Section

D+R

and

which

are

included

in

the

fi

ve

effects

of

the

REV

section,

are

both

a

combina-

tion

of

two

effects

(Delay

and

Reverb).

Selecting

D+R

or

D-42.

allows

you

to

use

seven

effects

simultaneously

on

the

FX550.

The

FX550

can

produce

up

to

seven

effects

simultaneously.

A

set

of

effects

that

can

be

produced

simultaneously

is

called

a

program.

Preset

Programs

and

User

Programs

The

FX550

has

two

types

of

programs:

preset

programs

that

have

been

already

set

in

the

factory,

and

user

programs

that

can

be

edited.

50

preset

programs

(program

#1-50)

cannot

be

erased

or

rewritten.

50

program

numbers

(51-99

and

00)

are

reserved

for

user

programs.

All

preset

programs

can

be

edited,

and

your

new

program

(edited

program)

can

be

stored

as

a

user

program.

The

FX550

has

three

modes:

1

Play

mode,

2

Edit

mode,

and

3

Utility

mode.

Play

mode:

This

is

the

main

mode

of

the

FX550.

It

provides

the

effects

for

guitar

performance.

Chapter

2

explains

this

mode.

Edit

mode:

This

is

a

sub

-mode

that

supports

Play

mode.

In

this

mode,

you

may

edit

and

prepare

the

programs

to

be

used

in

Play

mode.

To

"edit"

means

to

change

the

effect

parameter

settings.

Utility

mode:

This

is

also

a

sub

-mode

that

supports

Play

mode.

This

mode

allows

you

to

specify

the

settings

for

the

operational

controls,

and

supports

portions

of

Edit

mode,

such

as

titling

the

programs.

Chapters

4

and

5

cover

this

mode.

Use

the

mode

buttons

to

select

modes.

The

unit

is

always

set

to

Play

mode

when

the

power

is

initially

turned

on.
