Operation - Carl Martin Octa-Switch II Manual

The Octaswitch has stereo outputs, and a stereo return on Loop 8 (this is
a stereo jack with tip-left and ring-right). Since stereo effects like choruses
are placed at the end of your effects-chain, we would typically insert them
in Loop 8.
The Octa-Switch has two external switching jacks for changing
channel on your amp, or other operational features.
Operation is very simple as on the two corresponding DIP
switches you simply engage which of the presets 1-8 you which
the amp to change channel or turn on reverb, - boost or other
operational features.
So say you which to shift to a high gain channel on preset 6 via
ext. switch 1 you simply engage DIP switch 6, so now every time
you enter preset 6, the amp go to the high gain channel.
Please note that the different amps switching systems varies, so
we recommend to us a stereo jack, and then try to solder either
the hot on ring or tip, till the wanted result are achieved.
The External switches is Lacthing, we suggest you check if your
amplifier can work like this.
AMP
LOOP 8
The Octa-Switch has nine switches, the eight are presets and the ninth is a
true bypass switch, which bypass the unit for clean sound.
Please note if the buffer is engaged it will also be engaged in the bypass
mode, which we recommend as on large stages when running long connected
cables, there is a definite drop in the high end of your guitar sound, the buffer
prevent that.
