The 4040 is a sophisticated multi-effect device with the following features and functions: · A total of 25 built-in individual effects, which can be combined in patches of up to six effects. 40 preset patches and a user memory for 40 additional patches offer extraordinary flexibility. [. . . ] Higher values will result in pronounced ringing which occurs when an amplifier is operating at a loud volume. When set to 0 (zero), there is no such speaker box ringing, regardless of the selected box type. 3 AUTO WAH This is an auto wah effect where the emphasized frequency range changes according to the dynamics of the input signal. 0 Frequency EQ 3 AUTO WAH LOW MID HI Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 5 FREQ SENS LEVEL 1 ­ 64 0 ­ 10 1­8 Equalizer Operation The LEVEL parameter allows compensation for the change in output level due to a tone boost or cut. When HIGH, MID, and LOW are all at the flat setting, the LEVEL setting "5" produces the same volume as EQ OFF. HINT NOTE If LEVEL is set too high, internal clipping may lead to distortion. Adjust the LEVEL parameter to match the input level. Explanation (1)FREQ (Frequency): Determines the reference frequency. (2)SENS (Sensitivity): Determines the sensitivity of the auto wah effect. The bigger the value, the bigger the frequency change even at low volume levels. 15 4 PDL WAH (Pedal Wah) A wah effect which can be controlled in real time with the EXP pedal.

By presetting the mode, you can easily select the shift amount. MODULATION 1 PDL PIT Parameter 1 Parameter 5 MODE EXP.

MODE (Expression Mode): Determines the direction of the change caused by the EXP pedal. NOTE The various modes and pitch shift ranges are shown at right. We recommend that you try various settings to find the one which suits your needs. "DRY" indicates the original pitch, and "oct" stands for octave. When wishing to use this effect, be sure to select the MODULATION module in the TOTAL parameter EXP. SELECT, as described on page 22. 16 2 PIT (Pitch) This effect shifts the pitch by a maximum of two octave up or down, and adds the shifted signal to the direct sound. MODULATION 2 PIT Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 Parameter 4 Parameter 5 PIT SHIFT FINE BAL EXP. MODE 0 ­ 24 dn , UP -10 ­ +10 0 ­ 10 0, 1 3 FLG (Flanger) This effect adds a delayed component to the direct sound, with periodically changing delay time in the range of several to tens of milliseconds. When combined with distortion, a swirling "jet sound" type flanger effect can be obtained. MODULATION 3 FLG Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 Parameter 4 Parameter 5 DEPTH RATE PEAK MODE EXP. MODE 0 ­ 10 1 ­ 50 0 ­ 10 0, 1 0, 1 Explanation (1)PIT (Pitch): Determines the pitch change in semitone steps. (2)SHIFT: Determines the direction of the pitch shift, either "dn" (down) or "UP". (4)BAL (Balance): Determines the balance between effect sound and direct sound. At a setting of 0 (zero), the output signal contains only the direct sound, and at a setting of 10 only the effect sound. [. . . ] · Use the VALUE +/- keys to set the value. NOTE When you want to retain the setting, store any patch. If you turn off the 4040 without storing a patch, the setting will revert to the default NOTE 25 value. MIDI control Program change and control change messages can be sent from the MIDI OUT connector of the 4040, according to pedal operation and pedal switch on/off operation. This lets you control equipment with a MIDI IN connector from the 4040. For example, you can change the program of a guitar synthesizer when selecting patches at the 4040, or call up settings at a MIDI-equipped preamplifier such as the ZOOM 9150. two values (on = 127, off = 0).
