Adjusting the expression pedal

(Calibration)

If you find the expression pedal difficult to use, perform this pro- cedure so that the pedal will function optimally. For example if the effect does not reach maximum when the pedal is advanced all the way, or does not reach minimum when the pedal is re- turned all the way, use the following procedure to make the ap- propriate adjustments.

When making adjustments, use your hand to move the pedal. Accurate calibration may not be possible if you use your foot to operate the pedal.

1.Turn on the power while simultaneously holding down the EXIT switch and the PEDAL switch. The Multi-display will show “PEDAL” for approximately one second, and will then indicate “MIN.”

2.Slowly return the pedal to the full back position. When it stops, release your hand and press the WRITE switch. The Multi- display will change from “MIN” to “MAX.”

If you decide to halt the adjustment procedure, press the EXIT switch. The power-on display will appear, and you will enter Program mode.

3.Slowly advance the pedal. When it stops, release your hand and press the WRITE switch.

2. press slowly

3. press slowly

The Multi-display will indicate “COMPLT” for approximately one second. Then the power-on display will appear, and you will enter Program mode.

After the adjustment procedure has been completed, verify the operation of the pedal.

Select an effect that will make it easy to verify the adjustment. For example, set the Pedal effect to the VOLUME effect, set the value to 0, and check the MIN level when the pedal is returned all the way.

If you make a mistake during the calibration procedure, the Multi- display will indicate “ERROR,” and you will return to the screen before the adjustment (the “MIN” display). If the “ERROR” dis- play appears for repeated attempts, a malfunction may have oc- curred. In this case, please contact your dealer.

Restoring the user programs to the

factory settings (Reload)

1.Turn on the power while simultaneously holding down the EXIT switch and the PROG/FX SELECT switch. The Multi- display will indicate “RELOAD?

2.Press the WRITE switch. The Multi-display will change to “RELOAD,” and the reload operation will begin. When the reload operation is completed, the display will indicate “COMPLT” for approximately one second. Then the power- on display will appear, and you will enter Program mode.

Never turn off the power during the reload operation.

When you perform the reload operation, all user programs will be rewritten. Rhythm settings will also be initialized.
