external control
setting
The EXT CTRL OUT function allows the A1 to control effect bypass or "channel
switching" on external devices using "latching" type switching. For example, connecting
the EXT CTRL OUT to the channel switching footswitch jack, on a guitar amp, allows
the A1 to control channel switching by program change.

The Program Utility Menu is shown on the display.
2. Press the "E" double function edit control.
3. Rotate the "C" double function edit control to select "OPEN" or "CLOSE".

external device, alternate back and forth between OPEN and CLOSE to find the
correct setting for your application.
4. Press the "H" double function edit control [EXIT] to return to the Program
Utility Menu.
You can also switch the external control output jack between OPEN and CLOSE
