Checking OUT the Preset Programs

1.Press the top panel PRESET button.

The PRESET LED will light (this means you’re in Preset mode).

2.Turn the AMP selector to select an amp type.

For each amp type you select, a preset containing a typical sound for that type will be selected; i.e., the GAIN, VOLUME, TREBLE, MIDDLE, BASS, and effect set- tings will be switched automatically. If you want to hear the amp without effects, press the effect bypass button.

SWITCHING BETWEEN THE CHANNELS OF A PROGRAM

1.Press the top panel CH (Channel) button.

The CH1 or CH2 LED will light, and the program assigned to the corresponding channel will be recalled (Channel Select mode).

2.CH1 and CH2 will alternate each time you press the CH button.

HINT: You can store your favorite settings in each channel of the program. For details, see “Storing your program” (page 14).

CREATING YOUR OWN SOUNDS

1.Press the top panel MANUAL button.

The MANUAL LED will light (you’re in Manual mode).

HINT: You can also create your own sounds in Preset mode or Channel Select mode. However, the process is a bit easier to understand in Manual mode, since the positions of all knobs (except the EDIT 1 knob) are exactly what you’re hearing. In other words, what you see is what you get!

2.Use the AMP selector to select an amp, and adjust the GAIN, VOLUME, TRE- BLE, MIDDLE, and BASS accordingly.

3.If you want to use an effect, use the EFFECTS selector to select an effect type, and use the EDIT 1 knob to adjust the depth of the effect. For modula- tion-type effects like CHORUS or TREMOLO, or the DELAY/REVERB effect, just press the TAP button twice to set the modulation speed or the delay/ reverb time to the corresponding interval — it doesn’t get much easier than that!

If you don’t want to use an effect, press the BYPASS button. You can edit more effect parameters but you’ll have to read the manual to ﬁnd out how.

4.When you’ve come up with a sound you like, write it as described in “Stor- ing your program” (page 14).
