Section - 6 The J-12 Foot Controller

Other Pedalboard Tidbits

Here are a few other features that you will want to learn about to get the most out of your J-12 foot controller:

Bank Up/ Tuner and Bank Down / Bypass Footswitches

These two foot switches are located at top right side of the J-12. The Bank Up/Tuner footswitch, as you may have guessed, will move to the next Bank Up in the Millennium, as well as access the Tuner Mode by simply pressing and holding the footswitch until the Tuner appears in the display.

To access the next bank down press the Bank Down footswitch once. To bypass the Digital effects in the Millennium, press and hold the footswitch until the LEDs indicate that the unit is now in effect bypass mode.

Using the Tuner

1.To access the Tuner mode using the optional J-12 foot controller, press and hold the <Bank Up/Tuner> footswitch to engage tuner mode.

2.As you play a note on the guitar, the indicator in the display of the J-12 will move either to the right, or the left. If the indicator is moving right, the note you are playing is sharp. If the indicator moves left, you are flat. The goal is to tune your guitar so that the indicator stops in the middle and the display locks-in, indicating you are in tune.

3.In both methods of tuning, the tuner is referenced to A=440Hz. If you prefer tuning sharp or flat according to the A reference, use the <3> knob to select a new reference. This can be set as high as A=453Hz or as low as A=427Hz. The tuner can also be used for alternate tuning references where A=Ab (meaning you play an A note, but you hear an Ab note). It is possible to tune as low as A=Gb.

4.At this point, press any footswitch on the J-12 to exit the Tuner mode.

Naming Banks

Straight out of the box, the Millennium has 19 user Banks to choose from when used with the either the J-12 foot controller. Each of the Banks have been given a specific named to give indication to what type of presets exist with the Bank. In your constant editing mode to make the box custom to your needs, we have given you the ability to rename the Banks. The procedure is as follows (and please don’t worry, we won’t be hurt):

1.From Preset mode press the <Utility> button and the display will appear something like this:

2.Turn the <Page> knob until you reach page 13 and appears like this:
