SHOWBOX BATTERY POWERED ALL-IN-ONE PERFORMANCE RIG WITH BREAKAWAY MIX CONTROL
FX Knobs
SELECTING FX ON SHOWBOX:
Here is how to select FX in five easy steps [FX1 and FX2]:
1. Select the channel.
2. Single-tap the FX1 or FX2 knob to enter 'FX Select
Mode'. The LEDs surrounding the FX knob will
illuminate and flash yellow when tapped. Additionally,
the scribble strip will also flash at the same rate.
3. When flashing, rotate the knob to find an effect.
Once found, press the button to make the selection.
It will replace the previously selected effect on the
scribble strip. It will remain in 'FX Select Mode'
so long as there is activity. It will revert back to normal
(solid LEDs) after ten seconds of inactivity (or another
single tap of the FX knob).
4. Once an effect is selected – regardless of choice
and channel – the FX amount is set to the default
position of 12 o'clock (noon, first five LEDs
illuminated).
5. Rotate the knob to increase/decrease the amount
of effect for the selected channel. The FX knobs range
from OFF (knob far-left) to MAX (knob far-right). Unity is at 12 o'clock (noon, first five LEDs illuminated).
Quickly double-tapping an FX knob allows for true bypass of the effect to ensure that there is no
coloration of the signal if the effect is not needed. The LEDs surrounding the FX knob will flash when off.
However, the scribble strip LEDs will remain solid. When the effect is disengaged, the FX control has no
effect on the signal. Use this to make an A/B comparison between the FX'd signal and the signal without
effect. Single- (or double-) tap the FX knob to turn the effect back on.
FX1 – By default, the left knob is always on 'FX1' (not tuner).
The effects on FX1 are in series (i.e. inline effects). This means that channels 1-4 can each have a different effect
without sharing... (unless you want to)! The following helps us remember the differences, and perhaps it will help
you, as well:
FX1 = Series = Separated
FX2 = Parallel = Paired
Keep in mind that the FX level may be set differently for all four channels.
There are additional details about the FX in Appendix C (pages 47-48).
These two push-button, rotatable knobs have a massive amount
of responsibilities, but lucky for us, they're up to the task!
As you can see to the left, the knob on the left is where to select
FX1 and access the tuner, and the knob on the right is where
to select FX2 and access snapshots. But there is more... so, so,
so much more! Read all about it, starting below...
We will begin by discussing the FX1 / tuner knob, then moving
on to the FX2 / snapshots knob. By default, no effects are
selected – "None" written on the scribble strips above each
FX knob – and not available ("N/A") on channel 5/6.
