About Patches
When you are actually playing your guitar in a performance,
you need to use the sounds that fit what you are playing. The
effects and parameters you'll want to have switched on, as
well as the effect you will want to use with the expression
pedal will vary from sound to sound. With the ME-30, you
can make settings for these parameters beforehand—includ-
ing effects settings and volume levels—then instantly change
sounds using the pedals. These collections of stored settings
are grouped into what are called "patches." The ME-30's
memory holds sixty of these patches. Thirty are in Preset
memory, and their contents cannot be rewritten. The other
thirty are in User memory, where you can freely rewrite their
contents to create whatever sounds you like.
Both the Preset and User areas are further divided into ten
banks, with three patches in each.
* When shipped from the factory, the User Memories are set to the
same settings as the Preset Memories.
For more on switching patches, please see "Switching Patches"
(page 18).

* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other
devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on
all devices before making any connections.
* Turn up the volume on amps only after first making all connec-
tions and turning on the amp's power switch.
* When using monaural output, be sure to connect your cable to
the OUTPUT L(MONO) jack.
* This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a
few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will
operate normally.
* When operated on batteries alone, "BATT
L" appears in the LCD's
character area when the battery levels run very low. When this
happens, replace the batteries with new ones.
* When using batteries, insert batteries according to the directions
in "Changing the Batteries" (page 28).
* When using an AC adaptor with the ME-30, be sure to use only
model PSA-Series AC adaptor, which is designed for use with the
ME-30. Using other AC adaptors may result in fire or cause other
damage.
* If there are batteries in the unit while an AC adaptor is being used,
normal operation will continue should the line voitage be inter-
rupted (power blackout or power cord disconnection).
