Using the FIRE-15

HINT

•You can use a modulation effect and a delay/reverb effect simultaneously. If necessary, perform the above steps again for the other effect.

•In program mode, you can call up a patch and change the effect setting.

•When the effect in the selected patch is off, you can select an effect type and setting value by performing steps 1 - 3.

•When the effect in the selected patch is on ([MODULATION] key or [DELAY/REVERB] key LED lit), you can press the key whose LED is lit to call up the effect type and setting value onto the display. You can then use the VALUE [Q]/[W] keys to change the effect type and/or setting value.

Loading and storing patches

The FIRE-15 offers a bank of ten read/write user patches (U) and a bank of ten read-only preset patches (P). Patches in each bank are numbered 0 - 9.

This section explains how to call up stored user patches or preset patches and how to save amplifier and effect settings in a user patch.

◆Loading a patch

1. Press the [PROGRAM/BANK] key in the patch section, so that the LED lights up.

The current settings of the knobs and controls on the panel become inactive, and the settings of the patch shown on the display are enabled.

2. Use the [Q]/[W] keys to select the bank and number of the desired patch.

With the [Q]/[W] keys, you can cycle through the patches in the order U0 - U9 → P0 → P9 ...
