Chapter 2 – Connections
Footswitch
On the rear panel you will find a footswitch jack labeled [BYPASS]. This is a mono jack with connections for a normal momentary footswitch. The footswitch must be plugged in before the NanoVerb has its power turned on.
You should not use the footswitch supplied with a guitar amplifier, as these are typically latching type footswitches. You can tell a latching footswitch from an unlatched type when it takes two presses to enable any of the functions (Bypass, etc.). Also, these footswitches usually “click” when stepped on. Use only Momentary
Pressing the footswitch will toggle Bypass mode on and off. When Bypass mode is activated, the effects will mute but the direct signal will continue going through the unit. Bypass turns off any effects going to the output, and is useful for turning off delay for a certain part of a song, for example.
