TWEAK FEATURES

EFX amplifiers offer hidden features to further adjust the parameters of the digital effects. In addition to the adjustments described in the EFX ADJ PARAMETERS section of this manual, additional tweaks may be made to customize effects to user preference. Tweaks are made by pressing and holding the EFX ADJUST (14) control while simultaneously rotating the REVERB (15) control.

The EFX ADJUST control must be pressed for at least one second to enter Tweak Mode. Reverb setting will not be affected while in Tweak Mode. The LED ring surrounding the control will now reflect the value of the effect being tweaked. As in standard parameter changes, the effect being tweaked will be the active effect as indicated by the LED adjacent to the effect name.
