The display is now telling you four things about the digital effect.

1.The effect module is on. The number 1 icon is indicating that you need to press the number 1 button in order to change the status of the effect.

2.The current effect is a Thru module (just passes dry signal) and it is using one fourth of the processing power available. The number two icon is indicating that you must press the number two button to access the type of effect. You can then rotate the Data Wheel to select any of the quarter power effects. The processing power allocated to the effects can only be changed by selecting a different configuration.

3.The pan position of the Thru module is in the center. The number four icon is indicating that you must press the number four button to access the pan parameter. You can then use the Data Wheel to change the pan position.

4.This is the only page of parameters associated with the Thru module.

Changing Effects

When you change the configuration on a Program, all modules in the new configuration will automatically default as thru modules. This means that you will not have any digital effects processing until you select the type of effects that you want to use. Choosing the type of effect is accomplished by pressing the number 2 button and rotating the Data Wheel until the desired type of effect is shown above the number two icon. Then you can edit the parameters associated with the effect to suit your application. Let’s suppose that you wanted a chorus as the first effect in your digital chain. From the screen shown previously, you would press the number two button, and rotate the Data Wheel until the display showed Chorus above the number 2 icon. The display would look something like this:
