Besides the AMP knob, there’s also a COMP knob with which you can choose between four different compressors, the SYNTH knob which contains four different synth-like sounds, the DIST knob for four different types of distorted sounds, and the MOD/DELAY knob with which you can choose between chorus, flanger, phaser, and delay.
