Introduction
6. Parameter Knobs
These 5 knobs select Amp Models, Speaker Cabinets, and Warp Models. In Green or Red mode, they
adjust the Amp Gain, EQ and Level of the selected amp channel. In Edit mode, they adjust the
parameters listed in the column directly below each knob for the selected group of effects.
7. Display
The display shows the selected preset name and number. The display also shows bank names when
changing banks, and momentarily flashes the active amp channel when the amp channel is changed. In
Edit mode, the alpha-numeric display shows the selected effect's parameter and value or status. In
Tuner mode, the numeric display shows the note played and the alpha-numeric display indicates
whether the note is sharp or flat. While recording, messages associated with the recorder are
displayed.
8. Data Wheel
The Data Wheel is used to scroll through presets. It increases and decreases the value or status of
the selected Recorder, Utility, or Drum Machine function, and scrolls characters in the naming
procedure.
9. Down/Up Footswitches
These footswitches select User preset banks (Bank Mode), User presets (Stompbox Mode), and
select songs (Recorder Mode).
10. Mode Buttons
The Exit button is only used to exit a function, while the other 5 buttons perform dual functions
dependent on the selected mode of operation. The buttons are labeled as follows:
MODE - This button changes the functionality of footswitches 1-5. When the Mode button is lit
yellow, footswitches 1-5 toggle effects on and off and change amp channels. When the Mode button is
lit green, footswitches 1-5 select presets in the current preset bank. When the Mode button is lit red,
footswitches 1-5 control the BNX3's recorder functions. This button also selects the previous
character when naming a preset, and the previous menu in the Utility menu. The Down/Up
footswitches functionality changes depending on the status of the Mode button. (see Down/Up
Footswitches section below).
EXIT - Exits all functions back to the preset display.
DRUMS - This button accesses the BNX3's Drum Machine Functions. When the Drum button is
enabled, the LED lights and the drum loop begins playing. The bottom row of Mode buttons are used
in conjunction with the Data Wheel to select the Pattern,Tempo, and Level. This button also selects
the next character when naming a preset, and the next menu in the Utility menu.
STORE - This button saves preset edits to the User presets, or selects the drum pattern while the
drum machine is active.
UTILITY - This button accesses the BNX3's global functions, or selects the drum tempo while the
drum machine is active.
AMP SAVE - This button stores Amp and Cabinet changes (tone, gain, level, amp type, cabinet type,
warp, or cabinet tuning) as HyperModels™ (See page 30 to create an amp HyperModel). It also
selects the drum machine level when the drum machine is active.
