The level of EQ adjustment allows the player to dial in a huge variety of tones with outrageous levels of distortion. Octave and harmonist effects are common tools for fattening up those big riffs or adding a huge three-voice harmony to a solo. The S-Bend mode arms you with the ability to &#8220;bend&#8221; the tone from -3 octaves to +4 octaves for extreme divebomb\/whammy action &#8211; add an expression pedal for complete control over your pitch mangling. A flanger adds that cold swirling sound similar to a phaser with a swept comb filter effect often administered by metal players.
