Snapshots; Accessing Snapshots On Showbox; External Fx Loop Knob - Mackie SNOWBOX Owner's Manual

SHOWBOX BATTERY POWERED ALL-IN-ONE PERFORMANCE RIG WITH BREAKAWAY MIX CONTROL
Snapshots – The snapshots section allows you to save up to five settings to memory that may be recalled at a later time. This is
a great option for a rotating cast of musicians, different venues, or a guitarist that HAS to have several settings. We've got your
back! We think going through steps may be easier here, rather than trying to find where it exists among all of these other words.

ACCESSING SNAPSHOTS ON SHOWBOX:

Here is how to access snapshots in nine easy steps:
1. Select channel 1-4.
2. Press-and-hold the FX2/Snapshots knob down for two seconds in order to enter "snapshots mode".
Note 1: The effects will be muted.
Note 2: The majority of the time, the LED to the left of the FX2 silkscreen will illuminate solid yellow,
but when the snapshots are accessed, it will illuminate and the FX2 LED will go dark.
3. Does the breakaway mixer look like it's been broken with all those flashing LEDs? Do not fret, this is normal!
The scribble strip will flash between displaying "None" and "Snapshot 1".
4. From here, you are able to rotate the knob clockwise to view snapshots 2-5, as well as "Default" and "Back".
Note: It will revert back to normal FX mode after ten seconds of inactivity... (or scroll all the way to the end,
where "Back" is selected, then single tap the FX knob to return).
5. Once a choice has been made, push the knob in to make the selection.
6. If snapshot 1-5 is the chosen one, then the scribble strip will display the following text:
Save – Select this to save the current settings to the corresponding snapshot.
Please be aware that the new settings will replace the currently saved settings.
Recall – Select this to recall the settings of the corresponding snapshot.
BK – Select this to return to the main snapshots mode, step 4 above.
Rotate the knob until the selection you want is highlighted [i.e. boxed in] and push to confirm the choice.
Once selected, it will revert back to normal FX mode (solid LEDs).
7. In step 4 above, we mentioned that one of the choices was "Default".
If "Default" is the chosen one, then the scribble strip will display the following text:
Recall – Select this to recall the settings to their factory default.
BK – Select this to return to the main snapshots mode, step 4 above.
Rotate the knob until the selection you want is highlighted [i.e. boxed in] and push to confirm the choice.
Once selected, it will revert back to normal FX mode (solid LEDs).
8. Slowly scroll through the five snapshots. Notice that the LEDs will display the stored snapshot settings of the selected
channel. However, you are able to switch between other channels to view their settings before selecting, as well. Cool!
9. On the bottom of the breakaway mixer is a CliffsNotes® version of how to quickly access snapshots... or you could
always come back here and read the whole shebang!

External FX Loop Knob

The external FX loop knob adjusts the "wet" level of each channel coming back from the external return.
The external FX loop knob ranges from OFF (knob far-left) to MAX (knob far-right). Unity is at 12 o'clock
(noon, first five LEDs illuminated). The default position for the FX loop knob is OFF (7:00 o'clock, first
LED illuminated). Read more about the 1/4" external FX send and return jacks on page 11.
Quickly double-tapping the external FX loop knob will mute the external FX on the selected channel.
The LEDs surrounding the external FX loop knob will flash when muted. Single- (or double-) tap
the external FX loop knob to un-mute the external FX.
