Linking Effects

The patches of the 504 II consist of ten effect parameters (including two global parameters). By setting these parameters to the desired values, you can control the sound of a patch.

It is also possible to switch individual parameters on and off, and to program the expression pedal to adjust the value of a specific parameter.

Expression pedal

A pedal icon ( ) in the listing indicates that the parameter can be controlled with the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) when the value is selected.

If there is no parameter marked with a pedal icon selected in the entire patch, the expression pedal operates as a volume pedal.

Parameter on/off

Except for the TYPE parameter,

all parameters have an "" setting which disables the parameter. (The effect is the same as when both [ ]/[ ] foot switches are pressed together in edit mode.)
