PRESET SAVING
An edited preset can be saved by pressing and holding a footswitch as
described in the Controls: Footswitches section. An edited preset can be
saved to any one of the preset locations. For example if preset
6
been selected and edited, it can be saved to preset location
and holding the footswitch. Once the preset has been saved to that
3/6
location, the new location will be the selected preset. The unedited preset
will still be at location 1.
Presets can be copied across preset banks by holding the
button and then pressing and holding a footswitch. For example, if preset
has been selected and edited, holding the

MORPHING
The expression input on the MWB Pro can be used to morph between
two presets. More specifically, you can morph from between banks from
preset to , to , and to . For example, let's say preset
1 4 2 5 3 6
a Multiband normal setting and preset
By connecting a passive expression pedal, you can fade from the preset
Multiband normal sound into the octave effect by rocking the expression
pedal from heel to toe. As you fade between the sounds, the color of the
above the footswitch will fade from green (bank A) to red (bank B) to
LED
indicate where the morph is between the two presets.
In contrast to the control, the morphing is not a cross fade between
MIX
two sounds but rather a gradual shift between all of the individual
parameters. So the middle of expression pedal range is truly an "in-
between" sound.
There are possible pair combinations of sounds and some will sound
276
better than others. Some obvious applications are morphing from clean
to distorted sounds, low drive settings to high drive settings, changes in
volume, or between dramatically different sounds.
The expression pedal can be effectively inverted by pressing the
button. This will toggle start and stop presets for the pedal. Keep
BANK
in mind that adjusting knobs while using the expression pedal will only
control the preset in the currently selected bank, independent of the
expression pedal position. Also, while tweaking presets to get the desired
pair of sounds for morphing, don't forget to save before switching banks
with the bank select button.
The expression pedal can also be used as a means of effectively switch-
ing between preset banks, allowing access to all
controls only.
The expression input is intended for use primarily with a passive expres-
sion pedal. It could potentially be used with a Control Voltage
but the input voltage range is limited to
before connecting any output to the
CV
range (above or below ) could damage the unit.
