Three banks
The SPX2000 has three effect banks; PRESET,
USER, and CLASSIC. These banks are organized as
follows.
PRESET bank
This bank contains a total of 97 effects; 80
effects based on new algorithms and ranging
from standard to distinctive, and 17 newly-
developed reverb (REV-X) effects.
The effects in this bank are read-only.
CLASSIC bank
This bank contains 25 simple and easy-to-use
effects based on early models of the SPX series.
The effects in this bank are read-only.
USER bank
When shipped, this bank does not contain
effects. You can edit effects from the PRESET
bank or CLASSIC bank and store them as your
own original effects in the USER bank. Once
you have stored an effect, you can recall and use
it in the same way as the effects of the PRESET
bank or CLASSIC bank.
You can store 99 effects in this bank.
