original signal.

ADJUSTING THE UTILITIES

Pressing the UTIL key brings up the four Utility menus in the LCD:
Preset Volume -
This controls the volume of any individual preset. Note that this actually controls the
output of the amp model and will have no effect if the amp processing is bypassed.
Guitar/Drums Mix Balance -
Note that this is the only one among the 16 parameters that is not remembered when a preset
is saved. Instead, this is a "global" parameter, meaning that it stays as you set it even after you
change presets.
Expression Pedal Assign -
information please refer to the PDF manual.)
Tempo -
This control speeds up or slows down the drum machine and beat-synced effects.
STORE
If you make any changes to a preset, the EDIT icon will show on the LCD. This is to remind you that you
must store your changes to keep them. If you change presets before you save your changes, they will
be lost. To store a preset:
1.
Quickly press the PRESET UP and DOWN arrow keys simultaneously. (The preset number and the
1st three characters of the preset name will blink.)
2.
To select the destination preset, use the PRESET UP or PRESET DOWN buttons. (Note that you can
only save to a user preset; if the original preset was a factory preset, the same preset number in
the user bank will be automatically selected for you.)
3.
If you want to, you can rename the preset before saving it. Use the first 3 rotary controls to rename
the 1st 3 characters, respectively, of the preset name. Then, turn the 4th rotary control one position
to the right. (This will cause the last 3 characters to blink.) Now you can use the 1st three rotary
controls to change characters 4-6 of the preset name.
4.
To save the preset, again quickly press the PRESET UP and DOWN arrow keys simultaneously. A
BEEP will be heard to confirm the save.
TUNER
Quickly pressing the Utility and Delay buttons simultaneously will engage the Black Box's built-in instrument
tuner. This is a tuner sensitive enough for any guitar or bass. Play a note and it will be displayed in the
LCD with arrows to either side. More arrows on the left side indicator that the note is flat; more arrows on
the right side indicate that it is sharp. When there are equal arrows displayed on both sides (two on either
side of the note) then you are perfectly in tune for the note displayed. Quickly pressing the Utility and Delay
buttons simultaneously again will exit the tuner function.
