Storing effects programs
After you’ve created a configuration that you like, you can store it for future recall. To store your changes, press the VALUE knob and then turn the knob to select a store location. Press the VALUE knob again to store the program.
Copying effects programs from one location to another
Copying programs is easy. Just call up the program that you want to copy. Then, press the VALUE knob, twist it until you find the location where you want to store your copy, and press VALUE again to store the program in its new location.
Restoring factory defaults for the effect settings
Once you have saved changes to a preset program, you can still recall the original settings. To enter the RESTORE FACTORY PRESETS mode, simply hold down the VALUE knob as you turn the unit on and then select the program to be restored (or AL for all programs). Press the VALUE knob to confirm your selection. The display will blink rapidly several times to indicate the restore was successful. Any program changes you have made will be lost, so you might want to copy the program to another location first.
To exit the RESTORE FACTORY PRESETS mode, just turn the EFFECTS knob. You can also turn the X Guitar off and then on again, without holding down any knobs or buttons, to exit the RESTORE FACTORY PRESETS mode.
Deferred program change
In normal operation, the X Guitar switches immediately to the program you select. However, in some situations — especially when playing live — you may want the ability to scroll through program numbers while remaining in the current program setting. For example, if you’ve got a clean and chorusy rhythm sound stored in program A3, and you want to switch next to a bright lead sound stored in program C5, you don’t want to have to hear all the programs in between. In these cases, use the X Guitar’s Deferred Program Change mode.
While turning on the X Guitar, hold down either one of the Program Up or Program Down buttons. Letters will scroll by on the display, spelling the word “deferred.”
In this mode, you can scroll through program numbers without having the program change each time. When you arrive at a program you want to use, press the Program Up and Program Down buttons or both pedals at the same time in order to switch to that program.
To exit Deferred Program Change mode, turn the X Guitar off, and then turn it back on again without holding down any buttons.
