the sound.
Selects the eect produced
by the gyro sensor.
Selects the type of
reverberation.
You can automatically position the sound using
the gyro sensor built into the WAZA-AIR, and
adjust the ambience sound eect.

5
POSITION
Selects the eect produced by the gyro sensor.
OFF
The ambience eect is disabled (the guitar amp
sound and the Bluetooth audio are heard in
stereo).
SURROUND (*1)
The guitar amp sound is always heard from the
front.
STATIC (*1 *2)
The guitar amp sound is heard from the front.
Moving your head (changing the orientation of the
WAZA-AIR unit) changes the direction from which
the guitar amp sound is heard.

6
STAGE (*1)
The guitar amp sound and the Bluetooth audio are
heard from behind.
This gives the impression of sound heard by a
guitarist standing on stage.
Moving your head (changing the orientation of the
WAZA-AIR unit) changes the direction from which
the guitar amp sound and the Bluetooth audio are
heard.
*1 Bluetooth audio is played back in stereo.

7
*2 To reset the sound position to its default state, press
the WAZA-AIR unit’s up/down buttons simultaneously.
The sound position is also reset to its default state when
you change the POSITION’s TYPE setting and when you
switch patches.
Parameter Value Explanation
GUITAR POSITION
*3 0–359
Indicates the position of
the guitar sound that’s
connected wirelessly.
AUDIO POSITION 0–359
Indicates the position
of the Bluetooth audio
sound.
*3 Position can be adjusted when TYPE is SURROUND.
MEMO
5If you move your head in any direction other than
horizontal rotation (such as moving your head
up and down), the position of the sound might
drift. If this occurs, press the WAZA-AIR unit’s up/
down buttons simultaneously to reset the sound
position to its default state.
5Do not move the WAZA-AIR unit immediately
(approximately one second) after turning on its
power. Observing this will improve the accuracy
of the gyro sensor built into the WAZA-AIR unit,
making it less likely that the position will drift.
