A Tour of the Wildfire 3
EFFECT Knob
The EFFECT knob is used for selecting effect modules, parameters and other settings to edit. Around the knob, you’ll see the names of sixteen different settings, including nine effect modules, four effect parameters (DRIVE and the three PARAMs) and two program- level settings (LEVEL and ROUTE). The PLAY setting is what you’ll want to be in while playing your guitar through the Wildfire.
Refer to chapter 10 for descriptions of the possible values for the effect modules and parameters.
VALUE Knob
In PLAY mode, this knob lets you select a program. When you make a selection other than PLAY with the EFFECT knob, you are in edit mode, and the VALUE knob allows you to change the setting of the mode, parameter or global setting you have selected. Also, you can press this knob to store changes you have made to a program.
DRIVE Knob (Wildfire 60 and 30 only)
This knob gives you direct control of the DRIVE value, which is the parameter for the DIST module. Increasing the DRIVE value boosts the level of distortion and increases the loudness of the audio signal.
When an effect program is recalled, the DRIVE value is also recalled from that program regardless of the position of the DRIVE knob. But once you turn the DRIVE knob, the program will jump to the new DRIVE setting, and the program will be edited, which is evidenced by a lit EDITED decimal point on the display.
When you turn the DRIVE knob, the DRIVE value will appear on the display for a few seconds. You may also modify the DRIVE setting by turning the EFFECT knob to DRIVE and using the VALUE knob to change the amount of drive.
If you turn the DRIVE knob when the DIST module is turned off, the display will show
