The currently loaded Preset is indicated on the Preset LED Ladder. When a Preset is modified the Preset LED blinks once.

Catch Up Knob Function

When a Preset is loaded or when toggling between Parameters using, Knob positions will not align with their current Parameter values. As a result, turning a knob will likely cause an abrupt change in the sound.

With Catch Up ON, the sound does not change until the Knob is moved to the position corresponding to the current value. The LED Ladder indicates whether the knob must be turned CCW (top LED blinks) or CW (bottom LED blinks). The LED flashes more rapidly as the knob approaches the value set by the Preset. All five LEDs blink once when the knob matches the stored Parameter value.

NOTE: To enable/disable Catch Up Knob Function, power up in System Setup mode and press TAP Footswitch to toggle ON/OFF.
