Noise Suppressor
This cuts the noise or hum that may
be heard at break or interval between
songs. When the guitar sound be-
comes lower than the set level
(threshold level). this effect starts
working.
© Threshold Level Knob
This sets the threshold level where
the noise suppressor is activated.
Adjust this depending on the input
and noise levels.
IGI: The threshold level is set higher
ІСІ: The threshold level is set lower.
* When the noise is high, rotate the
knob clockwise so that the decay
will sound natural.
if the threshold level is set higher
and the guitar's volume lower, the
noise suppressor may work, causing
no sound to be output.
Digital Delay
This adds slightly delayed sound to the actual guitar's sound, making richer
sound. IL also can create special effects. The BE-5 adopts the digital delay. so
that delay effect can be obtained without deteriorating the sound quaiity from
3.8 to 1000 msec continuously.
Ф Range Control Knob
This sets the delay time together with the Fine Control Knob. The Range Control
Knob alíows you to set the delay time in В levels.
(С: The delay time is made longer. Use this for ong delay effect.
ІСІ: The delay time is made shorter. Use this for short delay effect
Ф Fine Control Knob
This finely adjusts the delay time set with Range Control Knob from х0.5 10
x10
ІСІ: The set delay time is made longer
Kl: The set delay time is made shorter.
(D Feedback Control Knob
This adjusts the amount of feedback.
iQ: The amount of feedback is increased.
КОЕ The amount of feedback is decreased. At the minimum position, single
delay effect is created.
* Rotating this knob clockwise may cause oscillation.
Ф Effect Level Control Knob
This adjust the level of delay sound.
: The volume of delay sound is increased. At the maximum, the direct and
delay sounds are equal.
: The volume of delay sound is decreased. At the minimum, only the direct
sound is output.

Overdrive/Distortion
This effect creates overdrive or distortion which is essential for Rock or Heavy
Metal sounds.
@ Color Control Knob
This BE-5 includes both overdrive and distortion effects. By adjusting the volume
balance of these effect sounds, you can obtain single effect or mixed sounds.
СУ: Distortion sound is increased.
ІСІ: Overdrive sound is increased.
* At the fully clockwise or counterclockwise position, only either of the effects
is obtained.
Q Drive Control Knob
This controls the depth of the overdrive;distortion effect.
ICI: The distortion of sound is emphasized, resulting powerful sounds.
ІСі: The distortion of sound is cut, геви то softer sounds
@ Tone Control Knob
This controls tone of the overdrive;distortion sound.
ICH. Higher frequencies are emphasized. creating sharp sounds.
ІСІ: Higher frequencies are cut, creating soft sounds.
Ф Level Control Knob
This adjusts tha volume of overdrive or distortion sound. Adjust this knob so
that there will be no volume difference between the effect and normal sounds.
ICU: Effect sound is increased.
ІСІ: Effect sound is decreased.
Q Power Indicator
Compressor
This effect cuts higher amplitude and boosts lower amplitude, for creating a
long sustain effect without distorting the direct sounds.
Ө Sustain Control Knob
This controls the sustained time of sound.
CA: Sustained time of sound is made longer.
ІСІ: Sustained time o! sound is made shorter. At its minimum posiüon, the
knob cuts the maximum input signal, working Jike a limiter.
Q Attack Control Knob
This controls the intensity of the picking attack.
ICI: Each note takes on attack even in quick performance, therefore sharp
Sound is created
KO): Picking attack is lowered.
@ Tone Control Knob
This controls tone of the guitar sounds.
ЮУ: Higher frequencies are emphasized, creating sharp sounds.
ІСІ: Higher frequencies are cut, creating soft sounds.
@ Level Control Knob
This controls the volume when the effect is on. Adjust this knob so that there
will be no volume difference between the effect and normal sounds.
СУ: The ievel of effect sound is increased.
KI: The level of effect sound is decreased.
This fights up when the AC adaptor is plugged in the AC Adaptor Jack, showing that
the unit is ready to be used
Q Effect Indicators
This lights up when the corresponding effect is turned on, and therefore can be used
as an on/off indicator of each effect
Ө Pedal Switch
Pressing the pedal turns on or off the effect.
დ Input Jack
Connect a guitar to this jack.
@ Tuner Output Jack
The Tuner Output Jack sends guitar signals for tuning constantly. Connect a tuning unit
50 that you can achieve tuning at any time
@ Send Jack
რთ Return Jack
By connecting an external device such as an effect, an additional function can be set
between the overdrive/distortion and digital delay
* How to set up an external device is shown in "CONNECTIONS"
[Setup Examples]
The following shows how to set up a unit to the Send' Return jacks
ПІ Connect а foot volume (FV-50Lj
The foot volume is connected pre digitai delay for creating natural decay with remaining
delay in violin performance
£j Connect an equalizer (СЕ.7}
The equalizer allows you to change the tone of sound
D Connect а pitch shifter (PS-2)
By adding a sound of shifted pitch, you can obtain such effect as two guitars are playing
