Chapter 6 Using the Built-in Effects
About the Effects Processors and Available Effects
The GR-33 has the following three onboard effect processors.
a. MULTI-FX (Multi-effects)
b. CHORUS
c. REVERB
The overall structure of the EFFECTS as follows.

Chorus and Reverb coneects in series.
MULTI-FX is Multi-effects which contains 40 types of effect,
including distortion and delay. The MULTI-FX also has effect
types named “Chorus,” and “Reverb” but these can be
applied separately from the Chorus (b) and Reverb (c) listed
above. It is also possible to apply the effect to just one of the
two tones.
Chorus is an effect that gives a wide, open sound, with a
special type of wavering, like that of multiple instruments
playing together.
Reverb is an effect that simulates the reverberation you get
when performing in a room or hall with good acoustics. With
the GR-33’s built-in reverb, you also get delay (an effect that
repeats a sound, sort of like a mountain echo).
The on/off settings of these effects can be stored for each
patch.
* These effects are for use with the built-in sound generator.
They don’t work with guitar sounds or any other than the
internal synth sound generator. However, if you use the
GUITAR OUT (RETURN) jack, you can make additional
connections to add external guitar-only effects. (p. 15)
* You may hear a noise when changing effects, but this does not
indicate a malfunction.
Making Multi-effects Settings
Turning multi-effects on/off
(MULTI-FX SW)
Use “MULTI-FX SW” to select the tone for which the multi-
effect will be turned on/off, or to which the multi-effect will
be applied.
■ Procedure for Multi-effect On/Off
1. Select the patch for which Multi-effect is to be set, and
press [EFFECTS] to go into Patch Edit mode.
2. Use [PARAMETER] to select “MULTI-FX SW.”
fig.6-50
3. Use [VALUE] to select the value.
Off: Turn off the multi-effect.
1st: Apply the multi-effect only to the 1st tone.
2nd: Apply the multi-effect only to the 2nd tone.
Both: Apply the multi-effect to both the 1st and the
2nd tones.
4. Press [WRITE] to perform the Patch Write operation (p.
36) and save the data.
* After performing the Patch Write operation, you will
automatically return to Play mode.
* If you don’t want to save the Patch, press [PLAY] to return to
Play mode.
In Pedal Effect mode (or if you have chosen “Patch Select” as
the “S1/S2 FUNCTION"), you can press the pedal 4 (CTRL)
to switch multi-effect bypass on/off while you play.
However, you must make “CTRL PEDAL” settings (p. 46).
You can also press pedal 4 (CTRL) to switch bypass on/off
for the multi-effect in Patch Edit mode as well if a multi-
effect related setting item is selected.
