5Editing Programs

To Edit a Selected Program

1.Select a program to edit using the Program Up and Down buttons, the VALUE knob or the optional footswitches.

2.Turn the EFFECT knob to the effect module or

parameter you wish to modify.

3. Turn the VALUE knob to select an effect type or value for the module. As soon as you change the value, the EDITED decimal point on the display lights up to show you a change has

been made to the current program.

4.If the module has a parameter such as DRIVE or PARAM, turn the EFFECT knob to select the parameter.

If you return all effects and parameters to their previous values, the EDITED light will go off.

5.Using the VALUE knob, select a value for the parameter.

6.Continue in this way until you have completed assignments for all modules and parameters.

To Restore Factory Presets

Once you have saved changes to a preset program, you can still recall the original settings. To enter the RESTORE FACTORY PRESETS mode, simply hold down the VALUE knob as you turn the unit on and then select the program to be restored (or AL for all programs). Press the VALUE knob to confirm your selection. The display will blink rapidly several times to indicate the restore was successful. Any program changes you have made will be lost, so you might want to copy the program to another location first.

See chapter 6 for instructions on how to store an edited program you’d like to save.

To toggle an effect module on and off, just press the Program Up and Program Down buttons together (or step on both footswitches) while the effect module is selected.

Just turn the EFFECT knob to exit the

RESTORE FACTORY PRESETS mode, or turn the unit off and then on again.
