returned to Solo Mode, which when you left it, had no effects on at all. Now step on the "1" switch
again. You're back in Group Mode, and the Overdrive, Mo' EQ and Chorus should all turn back on.
Congratulations! Now you can program the other three groups however you wish. (We recommend
re-reading the entire "Front Panel Features" section in your Mini-Mo’ Owner's Manual for some advice on
gain stages, how levels affect other levels, and how effects affect other effects when using
combinations of sounds.)
Will Bypass and Mute still work when in Group Mode? You bet. Bypass will deactivate any engaged
effects no matter what mode you're in. Mute will keep audio from reaching every output but the Tuner
Out regardless of whether you're using groups or not. All LED's will still remain lit as well, including the
Preset Group LED's. You can even program the Preset Groups while the Bypass is engaged.
You can also add and subtract effects from your preset without changing the preset. For instance: if,
while you're in a Preset Group, you turn on an extra effect that's not part of the group, you'll hear the
change, but it won't program automatically. You have to hold the Preset Group switch down in order for
it to program.
To prove this, activate Preset Group 1. Overdrive, Mo' EQ and Chorus should all be engaged. Hit a
bunch of individual switches, whatever you want. Then step on the "1" switch again, deactivating the
Preset Group. Now hit the "1" switch once more. Overdrive, Mo' EQ and Chorus will still be there, just
like you programmed it.
PROTECTING YOUR PRESET GROUPS
Even though it takes holding a Group Switch down for nearly a full second to program, we've included a
feature that eliminates the possibility of accidental re-programming and locks in your stored settings.
After you've programmed your four Preset Groups, locate the "Preset Group Mode" switch on the far
right of the rear of the Mo' Control 2. Slide the switch to the "Protect" setting (to the left). Now activate
Preset Group 1. Your stored effects should all engage. Now step on the "1" switch again––the Mo'
Control 2 will deactivate Group 1 immediately and return you to Solo Mode, even if you hold your foot
down on the switch indefinitely. The last thing you need in a live setting is an accidental re-programming
of a Preset Group. When the Preset Group Mode switch is set to "Protect," this becomes impossible.
NOTE:NOTE: When you want to change the effects in your Preset Groups, remember to put this switch back
to the "Program" position!
GOING FROM SOLO TO GROUP MODE... AND FROM ONE GROUP TO ANOTHER... AND BACK AGAIN...
You can switch back and forth between Solo Mode and Group Mode 'til your heart's content. Just know
that Mo' Control 2 has a good memory. If you decide to activate a Preset Group, it will remember the
last thing you did in Solo Mode. So when you deactivate that Preset Group, it will return to whatever
state Solo Mode was in at that time.
Try this:
1. In Solo Mode, turn on the SubWave.
2. Turn on Preset Group 1. For the sake of this example, let's say Preset Group 1 is Overdrive, Mo' EQ
and Chorus.
3. Now hit the Preset Group 1 switch again, turning it off. The Overdrive, Mo' EQ and Chorus should
turn off, but the SubWave should turn on.
If the last thing you did in Solo Mode was to have all effects disengaged, it will return to that state. But
if something was on, it will be on again when you leave Group Mode.
What if you're in Preset Group 1 and you hit the "Preset Group 2" switch? The Mo' Control 2 will simply
go from one group to the other. As long as you keep switching between groups, you'll remain in Group
