sound from the sound source, switch patches
to check out the resulting sound.
• WET MUTE
In this condition, only the effect sound is muted and the
original sound is output. The level of the original sound
output depends on the MIX control position. Therefore
there may be a drop in volume or the sound may be
entirely cut off.

The setting of the MIX control has no effect on the
volume level.

To cancel the bypass mode and return the
RFX-2000 to the normal state, press the
