4Selecting Programs

After you’ve plugged everything in, you’ll probably want to check out the factory presets we programmed into the Spitfire. This chapter shows you how to do that.

To Select Programs

1.Make sure the Spitfire is hooked up properly and turned on, as outlined in chapter 2.

2.Make sure you’re in PLAY mode (turn the EFFECT knob to PLAY).

3.You can switch programs in three different ways:

Program Up/Down buttons

Use these buttons to increment and decrement the program number. You can hold down a button to increment or decrement programs continuously.

VALUE knob

You also can turn this knob to switch programs.

Footswitches (not provided with the Spitfire) This is the easiest way to switch programs, especially while playing your guitar. Just plug footswitches into the FOOTSWITCH UP and DOWN inputs and step on them to increment and decrement the program number. You can hold down a footswitch to increment or decrement programs continuously.

4.Play your guitar to hear how the program affects the sound.
