Changing The Patch Call Method; Using The Pedal To Control An Effect - Zoom 708II Bass Operation Manual

Changing the Patch Call Method

In the factory default condition, patches are switched as soon as you make the selection,
resulting in an immediate change in the sound. If you want to change to a distant patch, all
the intermediate patches will briefly change the sound, which may not be desirable,
especially during a performance. In such a case, you can change to the preselect method.
When the preselect method is enabled, you first select the desired patch, but the sound does
not change until confirmed by you.
1.
To change the patch call method to
preselect, hold down the [
switch while turning power to the
708II on.
2.
Select the patch in play mode.
When you select a patch in this condition, the
display and [BANK/PATCH] indicator show
the new patch (flashing), but the sound does not
change.

The expression pedal functions as a pedal wah.
The effect type P-WAH (pedal wah) of the
MODULATION module is assigned to the

is temporarily switched to P-WAH.

shifter. The effect type P-PIT (pedal pitch) of
