8-STEP PROGRAM
FOOT CONTROLLER
Remote Preset Controller for 8-STEP PROGRAM
Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix 8-STEP PROGRAM
FOOT CONTROLLER! When connected to your 8-STEP main unit, the Foot
Controller gives you access to a total of 100 presets, allowing you to load and save
your favorite 8-STEP settings. Every slider position and mode setting is stored when
you save a preset and faithfully recalled when you load the preset at a later date. If
an expression pedal is connected to the 8-STEP it will also store its position at the
time of saving.
- GETTING STARTED -
Connect the 8-STEP Foot Controller (8-STEP FC) to your 8-STEP main unit using a
standard 1/4" mono instrument cable. Plug into the jack labeled FC on the 8-STEP.
The other end of the cable should be inserted into the 8-STEP FC's jack labeled
INPUT. As long as the 8-STEP main unit is powered up, at least one digit on the 8-
STEP FC will light up indicating it is ready for use.
- DISPLAY AND CONTROLS -
2-DIGIT LED DISPLAY – The LED digits display the currently selected or loaded
preset number. The numbers range from 0 to 99. When a preset is loaded, the
rightmost decimal point on the 8-STEP FC lights up indicating a PRESET is active; the
decimal LED on the 8-STEP main unit also lights. If the rightmost decimal point is not
lit, than a PRESET is not loaded.
BLINKING DECIMAL POINT – When a preset is loaded but a parameter has been
altered since the last load, the right decimal LED on the 8-STEP Foot Controller blinks
continuously to indicate a change has occurred to the preset. The decimal LED on the
8-STEP main unit also blinks in this scenario. If you restore the changed setting, the
blinking stops.
BLINKING DIGITS – If you load a preset, then turn the Foot Controller's SELECT
knob to a different number, the digits on the Foot Controller blink to indicate that a
preset is loaded but it is not the preset number currently displayed.
EMPTY PRESET INDICATION – When the displayed preset number does not
contain a preset, the middle decimal point lights up indicating the preset number is
empty. For example, if preset 21 is empty, the 8-STEP FC displays (2.1). Once you
save a preset to 21, the display changes to either (21) when no preset is loaded or
(21.) if the preset is loaded.
