MODE SELECT

The PFC 3 footswitch operates in two modes: EFX Select mode and Preset Select mode. Pressing the MODE SWITCH (17) selects between the two modes. The active mode is indicated by the MODE LED (18). Illumination of the LED indicates EFX Select Mode; a dark LED indicates Preset Select Mode. Controls and indicators 19-24 perform different functions relative to the active mode.

EFX SELECT MODE

NOTE: When entering this mode, the current preset will remain active.

In this mode, PRESET 1 (19) selects between the Lead and Clean channels. The CHANNEL LED (20) will illuminate when the Lead channel is active. PRESET 2 (22) toggles between two effects and their respective settings. This switch may be used as an on/off switch if one of the settings has no effects active. To use the MODULATION LED (21) as a status indicator, the “off” (or lower setting) should be made with the LED dark, and the “on” (or higher setting)
