3.Move the cursor to the RECALL button, and press the [ENTER] key.

A popup window will appear, asking you to confirm the recall operation.

Tip!

It is also possible to recall the effect program directly, without displaying the popup window that asks you to confirm the recall operation. To do so, access the UTILITY screen Pref. 1 page ([UTILITY] key → [F2] key), and turn RECALL CONFIRMATION off.

4.To recall the program, move the cursor to the OK button and press the [ENTER] key.

The effect program will be recalled. The name of the recalled program will appear in the “CURRENT EFFECT NAME” area in the upper left of the display.

5.Press the [F1] key.

The Eff.Edit page will appear in the display.

6.Make sure that the MIX BAL knob located in the lower right of the dis- play is set to 100%.

The Eff.Edit page allows you to edit the effect parameters. Regardless of the effect type that is selected, the MIX BAL (a parameter that adjusts the balance between the dry and effect sounds) knob will be located in the lower right of the Eff.Edit page.

When using an effect via AUX send/return, you will need to set this parameter to 100% so that the effect will output only the “wet” (processed) sound. To adjust this setting, move the cursor to the MIX BAL knob, and rotate the [DATA/JOG] dial.

Tip!

Other effect parameters can be edited in the same way by moving the cursor to them and rotating the [DATA/JOG] dial.

For the type and function of the effect parameters of each effect type, refer to the Reference Guide.
