Section - 3 Editing Presets | Johnson Millennium |
When you enter FX Edit mode, the first page of every FX Module allows you to:
1)Bypass that effect module (by turning it on or off) using the <1> knob.
2)Select an Effect Module (Only in the Digital Effect section), using the <2> knob.
3)Store the Default using the <3> knob (for more info on storing Defaults, see pg. 30.
4)Select a Default for the selected Effect Module using the <4> knob.
Changing Effect Modules
Each preset can be comprised of up to 4 digital effects (in addition to the Amplifier section). You can scroll through the modules in each preset two different ways:
1.By pressing the <Edit> button to enter FX Edit mode and using the <Preset/Effect> wheel to scroll through the different modules, or
2.By using the FX Library buttons. Pressing the <Edit> button takes you directly to the first module in the Amplifier section. Likewise, pushing the <Other> button takes you directly to the first module in the digital FX section and displays which effect is in it. Subsequent presses of the button scrolls you through subsequent modules that are in the effect configuration.
Once you reach a module you want to change (ie: you want to swap a delay for a reverb), use the <2> knob to select a new effect.
Selecting a Default
Once you have selected the effect you want in the preset (ie: Dual Chorus), you can quickly scroll through several different Dual Chorus defaults stored in your Millennium's library. Defaults are modified effect modules which have custom settings that can be called up to use in a preset anytime that particular sound is required.
Example:
There are 10 Dual Chorus defaults to choose from. Some Factory presets use these default settings. So, if you like the Dual Chorus that is being used in Factory preset #45, and would like to use it in preset #98, simply scroll to the modulation module, then use the <4> knob to recall the default (which happens to be
For a complete list of all the FX Modules and their Defaults, see page 34.
Adjusting the Module’s Parameters
Once in Edit mode, the parameters of every default module can be accessed through a series of pages. You adjust the level of a particular module from Edit page 2. If you’re not already in Edit Mode, press the <Edit> button. You can then use the <Preset/Effect> wheel to scroll to the module you want to change (ie: Dual Chorus). Now use the <Page> knob, scroll to page 2. You can now change the individual module’s level using the <1> knob. Settings range from 0 (off) to 100%.
Custom Defaults
Once you have tweaked the parameters of an effect module, you can store it off as part of the preset. Once it is stored off, it becomes a custom default for that preset, but is not added to the User default library. To save the settings as User Defaults, please see pg. 31
