PLAY WITH EFFECTS OR BYPASS THEM

One or both effects buttons in the Digital Effect section will be active (LED on), showing that the current Preset is being processed by one or both effect types (Reverb and/or Mod/Delay effect).

You can temporarily modify the way in which a Preset is processed by changing the On/Off con- figuration of the Reverbs and Effects buttons.

When the LEDs are on, the current Preset is be- ing processed by the effects; when off, the re- spective effect is bypassed.

Bypass

1.To bypass an effect, press an active button.

The LED of the button goes off, indicating that the current Preset is no longer processed by the relative Digital Effect.

To activate an effect

2.Press a deactivated button.

22 Reverbs and 22 Mod/Delays are available and both Effects units are user-programma- ble (See chapter 15, «Edit Effects»). How to select the effects is discussed in chapter 9, «Digital Effects».
