Setting Up - Chapter 1

Footswitches

On the rear panel you will find two footswitch jacks labeled [ADVANCE] and [BYPASS]. Any momentary single-pole/single-throw footswitch, normally open or normally closed, will work for the two footswitch functions. These should be plugged in prior to power-up so that the Q20 can configure itself for the type of footswitch being used.

Advance

The [ADVANCE] jack lets you scroll through the Programs in memory by advancing to the next higher numbered Program each time the connected footswitch is pressed. The Q20 will Òwrap-aroundÓ whenever it reaches the end of available Programs and the Advance footswitch is pressed again. You can set a range of Programs to be used, thereby cutting off other Programs from being recalled in this manner. For example, if you set the range to be User 0-10 through User 0-24, only Programs within this range will be recalled using the Advance footswitch. If Program 0-24 is selected and the footswitch is pressed again, Program 0-10 is recalled.

To adjust the Advance FootswitchÕs set of Programs:

➀Press [GLOBAL].

The [GLOBAL] LED will light.

➁Press [PAGE >] once.

This selects page 2, and the display will read:

FOOTSWITCH: Preset00 TO User1-99

➂Turn the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to adjust the Program number to begin the range (Preset 00 ÑÊ99, User 0-00 Ñ 1-99).

➃Press [PAGE >] once and use the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to adjust the Program number to end the range (Preset 00 ÑÊ99, User 0-00 Ñ 1-99).

Bypass

The Bypass footswitch jack lets you turn the Bypass function on and off from a connected footswitch. When pressed, the [BYPASS] LED will light, indicating that Bypass mode is enabled. When pressed again, the [BYPASS] LED will turn off.

For more information about Bypass mode, see Chapters 2 and 5.
