Basic Operation

Once you've made changes to a program, such as turning an effect off, or modifying any of the soft row parameters, an edit indicator in the display (•) will appear in front of the program name. This identifies the program as having been altered since the last store procedure. This edit indicator, along with all of your changes, will disappear when you load another program.

To save your changes, press Store. The LED in the Store button will flash to let you know you are in the middle of a store procedure and the display will show:

Program Name

251 available

The upper line of the display shows the name of the currently running program. The lower line shows a user program number (251-300) and the name of the program currently stored there. (When the MPX G2 is shipped, the user programs are all "available".)

The < and > buttons move an underbar cursor in the display from the program number to each letter of the current name. Turning the knob will select another program number, or will select alphanumeric characters when the cursor is in the upper line of the display.

Once you've made changes to the program name or selected a new location for it, press Store again. The display will show:

Are you sure?

Yes or No

The numeric display will flash the user program number you have selected while you decide to press > Yes or < No. Once you have stored your program, it will automatically be added to the database and you will return to Program Load mode.

The following are stored with the program*:

All effects and their settings

Effect Order and Routing Map

Bypass state of each effect

Insert state (if jack(s) are plugged into Insert Return(s) when the program is stored)

Master Bypass state of the program when it was stored

Program Store

Press Store to initiate the store procedure.

The Store LED will flash while you change the name of the program and de- cide where to store it.

Press the flashing Store button to verify your changes.

*This assumes that Reverb, Speaker Sim, Noise Gate, Tempo and/or Bypass modes are set to Program. Any of these that are set to Global, will not be stored.
