Scenes Details
Autosave
Whether you’re in Momentary Scene mode or Latch Scene mode, your choice of Autosave or Manual Save is an important one. In Autosave, any change you make to your Scene is saved automatically. This includes not only the on or off state of the individual FX while your scene is loaded, but also the configuration of the Scene itself.
Let’s load a Factory Scene and see what happens in Autosave mode. Make sure you’re in Autosave and Momentary mode first, so you can access the individual FX. To double- check, press and hold the Looper Controls switch for a few seconds, to enter Setup mode.
3•2 Look at LCD 3 under ‘Scenes’ and see if AUTOSAVE and MOMEN SCENE are assigned. If you see MNL SAVE and LATCH SCENE, change them with Knob 2 and Knob 4.
Now press the Scenes switch and you’ll see all 12 Scene names displayed. Choose Scene 2A, Bridge Of Vibes. Notice the four A switches are lit. That’s because the loaded FX, which are displayed in the LCDs, are loaded in the A locations of all 4 FX Units. You should see
Play your guitar for a minute on the neck pickup. You’ll hear a Robin Trower/Hendrix type of sound. Step on all 4 C switches now. You’ll see Facial Fuzz, Analog Flange, Rotary Drum and Tape Echo. It’s a very different sound. Now step on the Scenes switch and select 1C Swamp Thing. You’ll see 3 LCDs lit, because FX Unit 2 is bypassed. Step on the Scenes switch again and go back to 2A, Bridge Of Vibes. It’s lost its Trower
Manual Save
To see how Manual Save differs from Autosave, let’s do a Factory Reset and start over. If you have any special Scenes saved, you can defer this exercise until you back up your Scenes to computer. Read all about it in Chapter 1, Page 5. Assuming you’re okay to do a reset, press and hold the Looper Controls switch to enter Setup mode again. This time turn the Model Select Knob under LCD 4 to select RST FACT? and press down on the knob. Press again to initiate the reset. After it resets, select MNL SAVE under LCD 3.
Now repeat the same steps you did before. Press the Scene switch, select Scene 2A, then switch on all the C switches to change the sound of Bridge Of Vibes. Step on the Scenes switch again, select Scene 1C, then step on the Scenes switch and select 2A again. Play your guitar. Notice all the A switches are lit this time. Scene 2A did not retain the changes you made. This can be a good thing, especially if you want to return to the exact same sound you originally programmed. In Manual Save mode, every time you select a Scene, it will be recalled exactly the same way, even if you make temporary changes to it.
