After "AP" is indicated, the program/value display will indicate "En."

Disabling the auto power-off function

While holding down the EDIT button and Program UP pedal, turn the power on.
After "AP" is indicated, the program/value display will indicate "dS."

The setting to enable or disable the auto power-off function is saved even when the power is turned off.

Program select mode

The Program select mode is where you can select and perform with programs.
Settings for each effect are collectively called a "program." The StompLab has 120 programs. These programs include 100 programs that are preset programs (00–99) and cannot be overwritten and 20 programs that are user programs (U0–U9, u0–u9) that can be overwritten. The 100 preset programs are divided in 10 categories with 10 programs each.

Selecting a program

  1. Check whether you are in Program select mode.
    In Program select mode, the Tuner # LED and LED will light up and the EDIT LED will turn off.
    When in Edit mode, the EDIT LED will light up and it will turn off when the EDIT button is pressed to switch to Program select mode.

  3. Adjust the master volume as necessary.
    "Setting the type of device that you'll be connecting to the OUTPUT/PHONES jack and master volume - [GBL] (GLOBAL)".

Expression pedal

The target function (volume, effect parameter) of the expression pedal is set for each program. By rocking the pedal up or down during a performance, the tone and volume will be changed accordingly.
For programs where the target function of the expression pedal is other than volume, the target function of the effect will turn off when the pedal is pressed strongly and the expression pedal LED will turn off. If the pedal is pressed strongly again, the effect of the target function will turn on and the expression pedal LED will light up.
When volume is set as the target function of the expression pedal, volume of the program will be set according to the current position of the pedal. For target functions other than the volume, the tone of the program cannot be changed until the expression pedal is used after the program is switched.

HINT: Set the [AMP/DRIVE] LEVEL as the target function when the volume is controlled by the expression pedal as it is controlled by the volume pedal and when the program volume does not change until the pedal is used after the program is switched.

Bypass and Mute

Bypass (which turns off all effects including noise reduction) and Mute (which mutes the StompLabs output) are convenient functions to use while you're adjusting your bass amp, tuning during a live performance, or switching basses. Here's how to use Bypass or Mute.

Bypassing the StompLab

Simultaneously press the Program UP and Program DOWN pedals; all effects will be bypassed. At this time, the program/ value display will indicate " – – ".

Muting the StompLab

Simultaneously press and hold down the Program UP and Program DOWN pedals for about one second and the output will be muted. At this time, the program/value display will indicate " _ _ ".
When bypassed or muted, the Auto Chromatic Tuner will be active. To cancel the bypass or mute function, press the Program UP or Program DOWN pedal (this will not change the program).

Tuner

The StompLab has a built-in Auto Chromatic Tuner. You can calibrate the reference pitch (the note "A") of the tuner in a range of 438Hz–445Hz.

Tuning procedure

  1. The Auto Chromatic Tuner will be activated when the StompLab is bypassed or muted.
    If you want to tune silently, such as during a live performance, simply mute the StompLab.
  2. Play a note on your bass and the program/value display will indicate the name of the closest note. Note names are indicated as follows.
    Note name C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B
    Display
  3. If your bass is sharp (pitch too high), the Tuner # LED will light up. If your bass is flat (pitch too low), the Tuner LED will light up. In either case, the brightness of the LEDs will indicate how far either has veered.
    When in tune, both the Tuner center LED will light up.

Adjusting the tuner calibration

You can adjust the reference pitch of the internal tuner (piano center frequency A). You can calibrate this reference pitch in a range of 438Hz–445Hz.

When you turn off the power, the calibration adjustment that you made will be discarded and the StompLab will automatically be set to 440Hz.

  1. Change the reference pitch with the ▲ or ▼ button when the tuner is starting up.
    The program/value display will indicate a reference pitch (38-45: 438-445Hz).

Creating your sound (Edit mode)

The Edit mode is where you can set the effects that are used in each category, such as [PDL] (PEDAL), [AMP/DR] (AMP/DRIVE), [CAB] (CABINET), [NR] (NOISE REDUCTION), [MOD] (MODULATION), [DLY] (DELAY) and [REV] (REVERB).
