Effect type Within each effect module, there are several different effects which are referred to as effect types. For example, the modulation effect module (MOD) comprises chorus, flanger, pitch shifter, and other effect types. Only one of these can be selected at a time. An effect type is also often simply referred to as an effect. Effect parameter All effect modules have various parameters that can be adjusted. When likening an effect module to a compact effect device, the parameters can be thought of as the control knobs on the device. Changing the parameter settings will result in changes to items such as effect intensity and tonal characteristics. Patch In the 506 II, effect module combinations are stored and called up in units referred to as patches. A patch comprises information about the on/off status of each effect module, about the effect type used in each module, and about effect parameter settings. The memory of the 506 II can store up to 36 patches. Bank A group of six patches is called a bank. The 506 II manages a total of six banks, labelled A through F. The patches within each bank are numbered 1 through 6. To specify a patch, the 506 II uses the following format: "A1". This means that patch number 1 from bank A is selected. Therefore "b6" would refer to patch 6 from bank b.
Play mode/edit mode The internal status of the 506 II is referred to as the operation mode. The two major modes are play mode, in which you can select patches and use them for playing your instrument, and edit mode, in which you can modify the effects. The [PLAY/EDIT] selector serves for switching between the play mode and edit mode.
Using the unit on batteries
1. Turn the 506 II over and open the cover of the battery compartment on the bottom. Press the latch to release it and then raise the cover. 2. Insert four fresh IEC R6 (size AA) batteries into the battery compartment.
Insert all batteries with the same orientation.

Editing a Patch

The patches of the 506 II can be freely edited by changing the effect parameter settings. Try editing the currently selected patch to create your own sound.
Change the parameter value

Use the [+]/[-] keys.

Holding down one of these keys will continuously change the value. Additionally pressing the opposite key will cause a faster change. Pressing both keys simultaneously skips to the first value of the next effect type in the same effect module.

In normal operation, the sound of the 506 II will change immediately if a patch is selected in play mode. This may be undesirable if a patch from a distant memory location is called and the sound of other unwanted patches in between is heard. If desired, you can change the "Patch call" method from direct selection to the pre-select method. In pre-select mode, you first specify the desired patch and then confirm the selection. The sound will only change after you have confirmed the operation.

Confirm the patch change

When the desired patch is shown, press the [ ]/[ ] foot switches together.
Changing the "Patch call" method to pre-select
To change the "Patch call" method to preselect, you must turn the unit on while holding down the [ ] foot switch.

Specifying the desired patch
Use the [ ]/[ ] foot switches to select the patch you want to use next.
You can also use the [+]/[-] keys to only switch the bank.
The patch change is confirmed, the sound changes, and the display stops flashing and stays constantly lit.
Changing the "Patch call" method back to direct select
To change the "Patch call" method back to normal direct select operation, simply turn the unit off and back on again.
This will return the patch select method to the default setting.
The bank and patch number of the patch to be used next will be shown on the display, but the sound does not yet change.

Using the Optional Pedal

The 506 II is equipped with a CONTROL IN jack designed for connection of an optional foot switch or expression pedal. This section explains how to use these accessories.
Restoring Factory Defaults
The 506 II comes with 36 preprogrammed patches. These factory default patches can be restored also if they were overwritten by patches created by the user. There are two ways of restoring factory defaults. "All Initialize" returns the entire set of patches to the original condition. "Factory Recall" restores a specific patch to the original condition. 1. While holding down the STORE key, plug the appropriate cable into the INPUT jack (or DC 9V jack). The indication "AL" flashes on the display.
Using the foot switch (FS01)
Connecting the optional foot switch FS01 to the CONTROL IN jack allows changing banks with the foot switch while the unit is in play mode. (Operating the foot switch in play mode has the same effect as pressing the [+] key.) 1. Plug the cable from the FS01 into the CONTROL IN jack, and then plug the appropriate cable into the INPUT jack (or DC 9V jack). 2. Press the foot switch. With each push of the foot switch, the bank is switched up. Using the Optional Pedal
To perform All Initialize
2. Press the STORE key once more. All patch settings are returned to the factory default condition, and the unit switches to play mode. To cancel All Initialize, press the [-] key.

Using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02)
Connecting an expression pedal (FP01/FP02) to the CONTROL IN jack allows adjusting the volume or an effect parameter in real time. For information on parameters that can be adjusted with the expression pedal, please refer to pages 22 - 29. 1. Plug the cable from the expression pedal into the CONTROL IN jack, and then plug the appropriate cable into the INPUT jack (or DC 9V jack). 2. Select the patch in play mode, and move the expression pedal back and forth. Depending on the program content of the patch, the volume or effect parameter will change.
All user-created patches will be lost when performing All Initialize. Use this function with care.
To perform Factory Recall
2. Use the [ ]/[ ] foot switches to select the patch you want to return to the original condition. The specified bank and patch number are flashing on the display.
During Factory Recall, the [+]/[-] keys cannot be used to switch the bank only. 3. Press the STORE key once more. The settings of the specified patch are returned to the factory default condition. If desired, repeat steps 2 and 3 to restore other patches. To terminate the Factory Recall operation, press the [-] key. The unit will switch to the play mode at this point.
If the foot switch or expression pedal is connected to the 506 II while the unit is powered, malfunction may occur. Be sure to plug the foot switch or expression pedal into the CONTROL IN jack first and then plug the appropriate cable into the INPUT jack (or DC 9V jack). The pedal is active also in edit mode.

Linking Effects

The patches of the 506 II consist of seven serially linked effect modules, as shown in the illustration below. (The maximum number of effects that can be used simultaneously is 8.) You can use all effect modules or selectively set certain modules to on or off.

The drawing of the [PLAY/EDIT] selector shows the position which is used to call up that module and parameter.
MOD module basic parameters
This effect module comprises modulation effects such as chorus, flanger, and octaver. Use the [+]/[-] keys to select the effect type and adjust the effect intensity.

Module on/off

For every effect module, the last basic parameter setting is " o F ". When this is selected, the respective module is turned off, which means that it will not affect the sound output by the 506 II. (The effect is the same as when both [ ]/[ ] foot switches are pressed together in edit mode.)

CHORUS (Chorus)

This effect mixes a variable pitch-shifted component to the original signal, resulting in full-bodied and expansive sound. Higher setting values result
PEDAL BASS SYNTH (Pedal Bass Synthesizer)
Using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the CONTROL IN jack, the mixing ratio of b2 effect sound and original sound can be adjusted.

OCTAVE (Octaver)

This effect downshifts the sound by one octave and mixes it to the original sound. Higher right-digit setting values result in a higher effect sound ratio.

OFF (Off)

Turns the MOD module off.
Within the effect modules, you can select an effect type from several possible choices. For example, the COMP module contains various compressor and limiter effect types, from which you can choose one. The MOD module allows you to choose two effect types simultaneously, such as OCTAVE > CHORUS.

Expression pedal

A pedal icon ( ) in the listing indicates a parameter that can be controlled with the expression pedal (FP01/FP02). When such a parameter is selected, the respective module can be controlled in real time with a connected expression pedal.
When a parameter marked with a pedal icon is selected, the sound will correspond to the representative setting of that effect.
If there is no parameter marked with a pedal icon selected in the entire patch, the expression pedal operates as a volume pedal.

PATCH LEVEL

RESONANT WAH (Resonant Wah)
This effect type applies auto wah to a narrow frequency band, resulting in a special effect. Higher right-digit setting values result in higher input sensitivity for the auto wah effect.
Adjusts the overall volume of the patch. A value of 25 corresponds to unity gain (input level and output level are equal).
PEDAL RESONANT WAH (Pedal Resonant Wah)
This effect type allows using an expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the CONTROL IN jack to control the frequency that is emphasized by the resonant wah effect.

COMP LIMIT WAH

COMP module basic parameters
This module comprises the compressor, limiter, auto wah, and other effect types. Use the [+]/[-] keys to select the effect type and adjust the effect intensity.
Turns the COMP module off.
DIST module basic parameters
In addition to five distortion type effects and five clean type effects, this module also comprises two enhancer effect types. Use the [+]/[-] keys to select the effect type.

COMPRESSOR (Compressor)

This effect type attenuates high-level signal components and boosts low-level signal components, thereby keeping the overall signal level within a certain range. The effect prolongs sustain and makes the sound more uniform. Higher setting values result in stronger compression.

LEVEL LEVEL

Compressor
BANDPASS ENH (Bandpass Enhancer)
Enhancer using a bandpass filter. Makes the sound more distinct.

Original sound

HIPASS ENH (High-Pass Enhancer)
Enhancer using a high-pass filter, resulting in a different sonic character from the bandpass enhancer.

LIMITER (Limiter)

L1 L9 F1 F8
This effect type attenuates peak levels and prevents overload of the next module. Higher setting values result in stronger limiter action.
CLEAN 1 (Clean 1: clean type effect)
Clean sound with flat characteristics.

Limiter

CLEAN 2 (Clean 2: clean type effect)
High-class clean sound with attenuated midrange.
RICH (Rich: clean type effect)
Rich clean sound with emphasized bass range.

FAT WAH (Fat Wah)

This effect type applies auto wah which is dependent on playing intensity. It is characterized by a fat sound. Higher right-digit setting values result in higher input sensitivity for the auto wah effect.
FAT (Fat: clean type effect)
Clean sound with emphasized midrange.
SLAP (Slap: clean type effect)
Clean sound suitable for the slap playing style.
PEDAL FAT WAH (Pedal Fat Wah)
EDGE (Edge: distortion effect)

Treble-rich drive sound.

This effect type allows using an expression pedal (FP01/FP02) connected to the CONTROL IN jack for pedal wah. The expression pedal then controls the frequency that is emphasized by the fat wah effect.
DRIVE (Drive: distortion effect)
Overdrive sound with emphasized midrange.

EQ PHASE

EQ module basic parameters
This module comprises a 4-band equalizer and phaser. Use the [+]/[-] keys to select the effect type and adjust the effect intensity.

4 BAND EQ (4-Band Equalizer)
THRASH (Thrash: distortion effect)
Distortion sound suitable for thrash metal.
Turns the DIST module off.
DIST module extended parameters
These parameters serve to adjust the sound outline or distortion depth for the effect type selected with the DIST module basic parameters.
Allows boost or cut in the bass/middle/high/presence band. You can select one out of 50 patterns (01 - 50). 01 - 10: Lower values result in attenuated highs and emphasized lows. 11 - 20: Lower values result in lower emphasized frequency. 21 - 24: Lower values result in emphasized midrange. 25: Flat characteristics 26 - 30: Higher values result in emphasized highs. 31 - 40: Higher values result in higher emphasized frequency. 41 - 50: Higher values result in emphasized presence and lows.

PHASE SHIFT (Phaser)

Original sound Effect sound

P1 P9 oF

This effect mixes a phase-shifted component to the original sound, resulting in a pulsating character. Higher setting values result in faster modulation.

0 TIME

GAIN (Gain)

-(Off indication)

The function of this parameter depends on the effect type selected for the DIST module. When a clean type effect such as C1 or bE or an enhancer effect is selected Higher setting values emphasize the outline of the sound. When a distortion effect such as dr or FU is selected Higher setting values result in stronger distortion.

Turns the EQ module off.

BASS SYNTH (Bass Synthesizer)
This effect creates the sound of a bass synthesizer. It is best suited for playing single notes. You can select among nine patterns (b1 - b9) with preset sound character and mixing balance. b1: Bass synthesizer with fat low end and multiple harmonics (only effect sound is output) b2: Bass synthesizer with resonant filter (only effect sound is output) b3: Bass synthesizer with soft sound and few harmonics (only effect sound is output) b4: b1 effect sound with a slight amount of original sound mixed in b5: b2 effect sound with a slight amount of original sound mixed in b6: b3 effect sound with a slight amount of original sound mixed in b7: b1 effect sound and original sound in 1:1 ratio b8: b2 effect sound and original sound in 1:1 ratio b9: b3 effect sound and original sound in 1:1 ratio

DLY/REV module extended parameters
These parameters serve to adjust the effect operation for the effect type selected with the DLY/REV module basic parameters.

Usage Precautions

Electrical interference
For safety considerations, the 506 II has been designed to provide maximum protection against the emission of electromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and protection from external interference. However, equipment that is very susceptible to interference or that emits powerful electromagnetic waves should not be placed near the 506 II, as the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely. With any type of digital control device, the 506 II included, electromagnetic interference can cause malfunctioning and can corrupt or destroy data. Care should be taken to minimize the risk of damage.

dE-(Off indication)

DELAY TIME (Delay Time)
(When DELAY or ECHO is selected as effect type) Sets the delay time in the range from 1 - 37. The actual delay time is the setting value x 10 (ms). (Example: A setting of "15" results in a delay time of 150 ms.)

Cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the 506 II. If necessary, slightly moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wax, or solvents (such as paint thinner or cleaning alcohol), since these may dull the finish or damage the surface. Please keep this manual in a convenient place for future reference.
REVERB TIME (Reverb Time)
(When HALL or ROOM is selected as effect type) Sets the reverb time in the range from 1 - 10. Higher right-digit setting values result in longer reverb time.
