PRESET BACKUP
You can back your presets up to a computer, sequencer, or other type of MIDI librarian / recorder.
You can also transfer them to another BAM
MIDI In of the recording device. Prepare the recording device or software program to receive data.
(In the case of transferring to another BAM, it just needs to be on.) We're now ready to send the
presets.
To initiate the transmission manually, hold the amp's CAB SWAP button and then press the
EFFECTS Select button. The six Amp Model LED rings (Pre Gain through Post Gain) should go off
for a second or two to verify the operation. When they come back on, the operation is done.
NOTE: The size of the System Exclusive preset dump is 1000 bytes.
If your recording device can send a request string to automate this operation, the string can be
found in the Sysex table below. Another cable will have to go from the recorder's out to the BAM's In
for this to work. Sending that string to the BAM will initiate the dump operation.

CHANNEL MESSAGES
The BAM will accept (and echo) the following channel messages when they are sent on its MIDI
Channel (values are shown in hexadecimal):
• Program Change
• Bank Select
• Main Volume
NOTE: The Main Volume will be located after the preamp, EQ and effects.
Other channel messages will be echoed to the MIDI Out, but will not affect the BAM.
The BAM will generate the following channel messages on its MIDI channel:
• Program Change (as shown above) - whenever a preset change is initiated by front panel or
PFC4B.
• Bank Select (as shown above) - whenever the MATRIX bank is toggled from/to Factory to/from
User.
SYSTEM COMMON AND SYSTEM REAL-TIME MESSAGES
The BAM will echo these messages to the MIDI Out when received. None will be generated by the
BAM.
SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE MESSAGES
We've equipped the BAM with an extensive MIDI Sysex implementation. In addition to simple preset
dumps and preset sharing via the Internet and such, this enables the amp to be programmed
remotely by a computer program or hardware editor like the Peavey PC1600x
All of the BAM's Sysex messages start with a common header and end with an End of Sysex [EOX]
byte. The table below shows the "unique" section (including the command and optional data) of each
message that falls between the header and the EOX.
