Turning Effects On and Off

To activate or deactivate an effect, simply tap the Reverb, Harmony or Echo
button. The button will glow GREEN when active and WHITE when inactive.

Editing Effects

Don't like the Reverb, Harmony or Echo that you hear? You can adjust both the
Level (volume) and Style (sound of the effect) to dial in just the right combination
for your music.
To edit an effect, simply PRESS & HOLD the effect button. You'll know you're in
EDIT mode because the LED ring surrounding the Control Knob will illuminate and
the effect button will pulse.
The LED ring serves as both a Level and Style control. As you turn the knob, the
LED segments will fill up, indicating that you're turning up the Level of the
current style. When you completely fill the LED ring, the color will change, letting
you know that you've now changed the Style of the effect. Continuing to turn the
Control Knob will increase the Level of that Style.
Each effect has four different styles to choose from. Three of the styles are
available "out of the box" and one is reserved for a Beamed preset Style
(described next).

Saving Changes
Any changes you make to an effect are stored in real time. There are no extra
steps to take.

Preset

A preset is a "complete sound" created by a combination of effects.
You'll notice that the active effects change between Preset 1 and Preset 2 in the
images above. Presets can be configured however you like. The state (on/off),
style and level for each effect in a preset can also be different from preset
to preset.
