HV30 Effects

Effects Level This control adds the digital effects section and mixes it into the main signal. Sixteen different effects are available.

Program Select This switch will select any of the sixteen different effects.

Effects Active This switch engages the digital effects section. The footswitch over-rides this switch when it's plugged into the amp.

Toggle Tap This switch is a dual function depending on which effects program is selected. On “toggle” effects, this button pages through alternate variations of the effect. For example, for the Spring Reverb, it pages through 3 different degrees of brightness. On “tap” effects, this button selects the rate time at which the effect cycles, by tapping the switch twice. For example, for the Delay setting, it selects the amount of time between delay repeats (If the 2nd tap is beyond the maximum setting, the time will default to the longest available choice).

Effects Module Memory Aside from all the versatility of the built-in effects, the effects module in your Kustom amplifier has the ability to store your favorite sounds. All the most recent changes to the Toggle Tap button are saved in each of the 16 effect locations. For example, If you tap in your favorite delay time, then go to chorus, and then go back to delay, your own tapped delay time will still be saved. These setting changes are also retained when powering down the amplifier.

To Restore Factory Settings If you ever want to restore the effects to the factory default settings, you can do this by selecting Program 1 (Delay/Reverb), then holding the tap switch down and simultaneously selecting Program 2 (Trem/Reverb).
