Speaker Sim Mode

Noise Gate Mode

Reverb Mode

Bypass Mode

When Speaker Sim mode is set to Global, the current settings of the speaker simulator override the settings stored with each program.

If you’re connected to a guitar amp and playing through guitar speakers - you’ll want the Speaker Sim turned off in all programs.

If you’re playing or recording directly into a mixer, you’ll want the Speaker Sim turned on (at least for any programs that use Gain Effects).

When Speaker Sim mode is Global, its settings are not saved with a program when it is stored. To save the settings with a program, the mode must be set to Program.

Setting Noise Gate mode to Global applies the current settings of the Noise Gate to all programs in the MPX G2. In this mode, you can edit the Noise Gate parameters as usual. Note, however, that to save the settings with a program, the mode must be set to Program.

When Reverb mode is set to Global, the reverb settings in the current program override the individual reverb settings stored with each program. This allows you to keep the same reverb while you load different programs. (So, for example, when you get the perfect reverb settings with your amp in a particular club - you don’t have to edit and store the reverb for every program you plan to use that night.)

With Reverb mode set to Global, you can edit reverb parameters as usual — even change algorithms. Note, however, that your reverb settings will not be saved when you store the program. To save reverb settings with a program, the Reverb mode must be set to Program.

With Reverb mode set to Global, the reverb bypass state also becomes global. If you bypass the reverb, it will stay bypassed — even when you load new programs — until you make it active again.

When Bypass mode is set to Global, the current Master bypass state is not changed when a new program is loaded. Once bypassed, the MPX G2 will stay bypassed until you press Bypass again (even when you load new programs). In this mode, the bypass state is not saved with a program when it is stored. To save the state with a program, this mode must be set to Program.

When Bypass mode is set to Program, the Master bypass state stored with a program becomes active when the program is loaded. (Just like the individual effects bypass states, the Master bypass state can be stored with a program.)
