SECTION 2 - PROGRAMMING THE FX7 Navigating The FX7
DATA
The FX7 is designed to be both easy to program and flexible. The structure of an FX7 Program is logical, and it doesn't require a lot of time to master.
To select Programs in the FX7:
1)After you power up, use the Data wheel to scroll through the Programs. As you scroll, the effect group and footswitch LEDs turn on and off. These LEDs indicate which effects are used in each Program, and which Program in the Bank is selected.
There are 11 effect groupings printed on the front panel of the FX7. Seven are digital effect groups (delay, reverb, etc.) , and four cover the preamp section (compression, distortion, gate, EQ). Each group has its own LED that indicates the status of each group.
If the Status LED is lit continuously, an effect in the indicated group is active. If the LED is not lit, no effects in the group are active. If the LED is flashing, edit mode is active, and effects in the group can be selected using the Data wheel.
Directly below each vertical group are the Effect Selector buttons. These buttons allow you to select and/or bypass effects in the FX7. The following things happen when you use the Effect Selector buttons:
•When you select a bypassed effect, its group LED begins flashing and the display shows two dashes, indicating that the effect is selected but bypassed. (Pressing the Select button again acti- vates the effect.)
•When you select an active effect, its group LED begins flashing and the display shows the number of the currently selected effect. (Pressing the button again bypasses the effect.)
When lit, the User LED below the display indicates that the current Program is a User Program. When the LED is not lit, the current Program is a permanent Factory Program.
Using The Footswitches
The FX7's pedalboard consists of four footswitches: the far right footswitch is the Bank selector, and the remaining three are Program selectors.
A Bank is a group of three Programs. There are 10 User Banks in the FX7, each with 3 Programs for a total of 30 User Programs. There are also 30 Factory Programs that can be selected using the Data wheel only. User Programs in any of the Banks can be recalled in one of two ways:
•by pressing the Bank select footswitch followed by footswitch 1, 2, or 3.
•by turning the Data wheel in Program mode.
