Switching Banks
Each time the Bank (UP/DOWN) pedal is pressed, the bank
is switched, and the Bank is indicated on the FC-200’s
display.
Press “UP” to rise through the bank numbers in sequence;
press “DOWN” to descend through the sequence of Bank
numbers.
Switching Numbers
Press the Number pedals (1–10) to select the numbers. The
selected number indicator lights, and the program number is
switched.
When switching to a Patch of a different number within the
same Bank, reselection of the Bank is unnecessary.

pedal to switch between Preset and User Patches.

and off.

controlled with the pedal is sent from the FC-200 as a Control
Change message (Controller Number 7).

When EFX in the EFFECTS section is on, with the TYPE set to
“WAH,” you can use the expression pedal as a wah pedal.
