In the pre-select change mode, you can continue playing in one program while you scroll through to the next program with the up and down footswitches. Hit the Up or Down footswitch and the LEDs above them will start flashing Once you find the program you are looking for, hit the Feedback Cancel footswitch and you will switch to the new program. Note that you have about three seconds after you take your foot off the program change switch to hit the Feedback Cancel and switch to the new program. Otherwise the program reverts to where it was when you started.

Resetting the Aura to Factory Specs

You can easily return all the programs in the Play mode to the original factory settings with these 3 easy steps:

2 Hold down the two outside footswitches and insert the power plug into the unit.

3 Continue to hold down the outside footswitches until the prompt appears in the display

Note: Sound Images downloaded from www.fishmanaura.com will not be replaced by original Factory Sound Images.

Effect on/off Switch

The Effect on/off lets you bypass the blended sound image/pickup mixes in both the Play and Edit modes, so that only the basic pickup signal from your instrument appears at the Aura's outputs. Use the Effect on/off switch to help set baseline levels for your mixes (see page 22) and to compare your raw pickup sound to the processed sound.

The green indicates that the effect is on.
