Edit With The Red Tog-Pot; Exit Edit Mode, Save, And Restore Patches; Familiarize Yourself With The Effects - Gibson Firebird X Owner's Manual

Note: A slider will not take effect until it passes through the existing parameter value. If a
slider does not appear to be working, move it back and forth over its full travel. Also,
when editing Reverb and Echo parameters, there may be a slight delay between moving a
slider and hearing a change.

slider settings, effect types, and more. For now, just play with the sliders to get an idea
of what's possible; you'll find that editing is easy and unambiguous when the pedals are
set up, as described starting on page 19.
After you edit an effect, you can move the tog-pot switch to another effect and edit that.
All edits are retained, so if for example you switch the tog-pot to Modulation and dial in a
chorus sound, you can then change the tog-pot to Reverb and add some reverb, then
change the tog-pot again to Echo and introduce delay.

Exit Edit Mode, Save, and Restore Patches

After tweaking the effects, you can exit Edit Mode and do one of the following.
Save your edits. Push once on the Digital Varitone knob, move the knife switch, or rotate
the Gear Shift. The Gear Shift shows S-A-V-E-D to indicate your new sound is saved. This
sound will remain as edited even if you change patches and return to it later.
Restore the original patch sound. You can restore an edited patch to its original patch
settings at any time, whether in Edit Mode or Patch Play Mode, by pushing three times in
quick succession on the Digital Varitone knob. The Gear Shift knob will show R-E-S-T-O-R-E-
D as it restores the original patch settings.

Familiarize Yourself with the Effects

To become familiar with the effects, consider choosing a patch from Banks 1-3 (dry electric
guitar sounds) as the various processors' effects will be obvious. The sliders control the
parameters shown in the following chart, and cover a wide range of possible sounds.
