How to Use Your PedalPro Ex: Presets
9.1
WORKING WITH PRESETS
PedalPro Ex is a breakthrough in analogue multi-effects not just because it is
practically the first, but because of how it allows you to store your sounds.
Sounds are stored as presets – of which the PedalPro Ex has the capacity to
store no less than 400 complete machine configurations. 18 can be stored
as favourite presets, for quick access to the sounds you use most often. Via a
USB connection, an unlimited number of presets can be stored, saved, trans-
ferred, and even emailed using the preset library software on your computer.
What you can store in a preset
In a word: everything – all the parameters of every effect on your PedalPro
Ex. The entire configuration of your machine can be stored in one preset.
Even two MIDI program change messages of a MIDI effect connected to the
PedalPro Ex can be stored in a preset.
A preset holds the following information:
•
The effects chain, including which effects are active and which are by-
passed, and the position of the swappable effects in the chain.
•
The settings of all the effects' parameters.
•
The status (active/bypassed) of pre and post loops.
•
All the MIDICC routing links and Tap Tempo settings
•
The Amp switching settings.
Restoring your factory settings
9
PedalPro Ex comes preloaded with 400 presets. All are user-editable and
available for you to experiment with and/or replace with your own sounds.
Should you want to re-set or re-load the original factory presets, you will find
them available on the USB drive that comes with your PedalPro Ex.
See the section
'Restoring your default preset
list', on page 15.

Presets 000 to 127 were created by VR and come pre-installed in your Pedal-
Pro Ex. To protect these presets from being accidentally overwritten, Save
protection is turned on by default – indicated by the symbol
protection on, PedalPro Ex will NOT allow you to assign a new preset to those
numbered between 000 and 127.
•
If you want to overwrite one of the presets 000 to 199, turn off 'Save pro-
tection' by pressing the multifunction key 10a. Once the protection is off,
your newly-created preset can overwrite the factory preset. The 'Save
protection' switch has no effect on presets 200 to 399 and these presets
can be overwritten at any time.
•
You now have the option of editing the preset name. To do this, use the
selection dial [4] to scroll through the available characters, and the LEFT
and RIGHT arrow keys [3a, 3d] to move to the previous or following char-
acter of the name.
•
You can also change the preset number in order to move it to a specific
location. Press the DOWN arrow key [3c] to move to the preset number
('Position'). Change the number using the selection dial [4]. The third line
of the screen shows you the current position of the preset selected.
•
Press SAVE [5] to save your newly-created preset in the position you have
chosen.
Press ENTER [6] to confirm.
