ŒThis section describes how to carry out the operation when in the Manual mode. When you're in the Memory mode, you can accomplish the same operation by using the number pedal for the currently selected patch.

ŒWhen you're in Memory mode and the MODULATION and DELAY effects are both on, you can make the setting for only the delay time.

2.Hold down the MOD or DELAY pedal for at least two

seconds.

Two seconds after you begin pressing the pedal, the pedal's indicator starts to flash.

3.Press the MOD or DELAY pedal at least twice at the

speed you want.

The speed of the effect is set by the timing with which you press the pedal. The pedal's indicator flashes in time with the modulation rate or the delay sound.

4.Once again hold down the MOD or DELAY pedal for

at least two seconds.

The setting for the speed is completed, and the effect is turned on. The pedal's indicator stops flashing and stays steadily illuminated.

After you've finished making the settings, moving the RATE knob or the TIME knob deactivates the effect timing set using the pedal and returns priority to the knob setting.
