You can initiate this from PRESET mode or from NORMAL mode. After the store (or cancel) it will return to the
mode you were in. So you can setup and store 9 presets without ever entering PRESET mode if you wish. It's
typical to set up your sound in NORMAL mode, then store your creation to one of the presets.
QUICK BOOST
As described below, when in preset mode, the 1-9 switches will recall your 9 custom presets. When you press the
switch of the preset that is already active, it will toggle the status of the Master Boost. This allows a quick way to
recall a preset for a solo and get it boosted very quickly (just hit the switch twice!). Otherwise, you' d have to hit it,
then toggle out of preset mode, then hit the Master Boost switch – tap dance! (Of course, you can save the preset
with the boost active, and then the 2nd press would disable the boost.) To make the Master Boost status visual
while in preset mode (red LEDs for mode/preset) the 9/Master Boost LED will blink green when the boost is en-
abled. (If on preset 9, the color will toggle between red and green to show preset number and Master Boost on).
LINKING TO ANOTHER AMP AND/OR EFFECTS UNITS WITH THE MIDI OUT
You can connect the MIDI Out to the MIDI In of another Invective 120 to synchronize the two amps. With the
footswitch connected to the first amp, any changes you make with the footswitch (or front panel) will be dupli-
cated on the 2nd amp – if the 2nd amp is on the same MIDI channel. See MIDI Program Section (pg. 13).
You can also link the MIDI from the amp (or from the 2nd amp) to an effects unit to synchronize presets. If the
effects unit can store presets, they can change automatically when you recall presets on the footswitch.
Whenever a preset is recalled, it sends that program change command, followed by the controller status of CC4
(0 or 127 based on the CC4 function) and the controller status of CC10 (0 or 127 based on the MASTER BOOST
function). This allows the MIDI effects unit to respond to those controllers to do things like turn a delay on/
off, etc. The other footswitches also send CC messages when pressed, but not at preset recall like the above two.
(MASTER BOOST sends CC9 AND CC10. CC9 to control another invective, CC10 synced at preset recall for
MIDI control of other devices.) See MIDI section for CC numbers generated by each function.
