PEC-2 loops – and then recall them via fast, simple footswitch control. The PEC-2 can store up to 84 different “pro- grams” which should be more than you’ll ever need. But the PEC-2 is more than just an effect “switcher”. It provides a range of features that can significantly enhance your capabilities and versatility on stage or in the studio.
3. Quick Start Guide If you want to get right down to using the PEC-2 as quickly as possible, simply follow the steps outlined in this section. The procedure below sets up the PEC-2 for basic 5-series-loop operation. 3−1. Preparation (Making the Connections) [Caution]: Make sure the amplifier’s power is off when making initial connections.
In the EDIT mode this display also shows the currently selected edit item and parameter. ⑬ MIDI Receive/Transmit LED This LED dot will light when the PEC-2 is receiving or transmitting MIDI data. ⑭ M.PROTECT(Memory Protect)LED This LED dot will light when the memory protect function is turned on via the EDIT mode.
Bu-IN jack. ② Bu-OUT(Buffered Output) The input signal received at the Bu-IN jack is directly output via the Bu-OUT jack prior to being send to the PEC-2 loops. ③ IN(Input) This direct input jack bypasses the buffer circuit, directly feeding the input signal to the loops.
2) The tuner output is buffer-isolated from the main signal chain so that a short in the tuner cable or a malfunction in the tuner itself won’t affect the main signal. ●Output Section 1) The PEC-2 has two outputs – OUT1 and OUT2, both of which output the same signal. Dual outputs provide a versatile range of output options.

2) REMOTE Mode • With this function you could place one PEC-2 unit on stage and another in the wings and use one or the other as a “remote con- trol unit”. One unit is designated as the “master” and the other as the “slave”, and the settings memorized in the master unit are recalled.
Connect the input signal (the output from the preceding series loop, for example) to the IN jack, and connect the send jack (S-6, S-7, or S-8) to the input of the effect unit. The output from the effect unit is then connected back to the corresponding PEC-2 return jack (R-6, R-7, or R-8), and the OUT jack is connected to the next loop or device.
9. The Edit Mode The edit mode provides access to the PEC-2’s detailed parameters. All edit parameters are accessed by pressing the MODE switch for longer than 3 seconds to enter the EDIT mode, and then using the DEC/- and/or INC/+ switches to select the desired parameter.

6)MIDI Control Change Number MIDI control change numbers 0 through 120, or OFF, can be assigned to the PEC-2 L1 ~ L8, MODE, and MUTE switches. The corresponding switch is turned ON when the assigned control change number is received via the MIDI IN connector.

“8dp”. 6. If an error occurs and the data is not received properly, “Err” will appear on the display of the receiving PEC-2, then the unit will automatically revert to the edit menu mode and “8dp” will appear on the display. If an error does occur, check your MIDI cables and connections.
