... press Options to access the DataBase sorting options.

The MPX G2 has a database sorting function which allows you to sort and search for programs in various categories. This is a great timesaver when you're looking specifically for guitar effects, or EQ effects, or for EQ effects for guitar. When shipped, the DataBase sorting option is set to "Sort by number", allowing you to use the knob to scroll through all of the 300 programs in numerical order in Program mode. (The < and > buttons will jump you forward and back ten programs at a time. Simultaneously pressing < and > jumps from 1 to 251 or from 251 to 1.)

You can select other sorting criteria in Program mode by pressing Options. The Options LED will blink and the display will show:

Sort programs by number

Use the knob or the < and > buttons to select any of the main sorting options listed below:

(Chorus, Delay, Distortion, EQ, Flanger, Gain, Mod, Overdrive, Phaser, Pitch, Reverb, SpkrSim, Wah, All)

application type

last 10 programs loaded

Press Options again to return to Program mode with the database sorted to show only those programs that fit the criteria you've selected. If you select "name", the knob will scroll you through all 250 programs in alphabetical order (The < and > buttons will jump you forward and back through letters of the alphabet.)

If you select any sorting option other than sort by name or number, the displayed selection of programs will be limited to those which fit the category. — We've made sure that all 250 of the factory programs are tagged for a variety of appropriate sorting options, so you'll find plenty to play with in each category.

NOTE: MPX G2 programs have been designed for specific applications. Stand alone programs may not sound right if listened to through a guitar amp and vice versa.

When you select guitar style, effect type or app type as an option and return to Program mode, the knob will scroll through the programs in the first of the categories listed in parenthesis above. The < and > buttons will jump to the next sorting category.

Assigning guitar style, effect and app types to programs is done in a database menu in Edit Mode.
