Changing Wet/Dry Mix

Most of the PC1's factory programs and setups route the audio signal into FX-A and not directly
into FX-B. In this case, the PC1 automatically routes the signal from the output of FX-A into FX-B
before it goes to the audio outputs. (See drawing on page B-6) This means that there are three
Wet/Dry variables; therefore there are three Wet/Dry parameters:
A
B
Global A>B
In Setup mode, Global A>B affects every zone in the setup (and every MIDI channel), but the
settings for A and B are independent in each zone, and on each MIDI channel.
1. Press the Effect button, then press the Right cursor button until you see the FX Wet/Dry
parameter.
2. The display should look something like this:
If you're coming from Setup mode, the top line is shown like "
numeral following the
zone.
Note the parentheses around the value for B. This indicates that the current zone is not routed to
FX-B. In this case, editing the value of B won't change the Wet/Dry mix for FX-B. If you routed
the zone to FX-B, the parentheses would disappear.
In Program mode, you can change the Wet/Dry mix for both FX-A and FX-B without going to the
Effect editing mode. When an effect block is in use, the corresponding knob (Knob A for FX-A
and Knob B for FX-B) adjusts the Wet/Dry mix. If you are in the Wet/Dry parameters of the Effect
Editor, you can see amount of Wet/Dry by turning knob in real-time. This is a Program mode
feature only. If you want to change the Wet/Dry mixes permanently, you'll need to use the
Wet/Dry parameters, then save either the resulting effect or the entire program or setup. There's a
diagram of the PC1's audio signal routing on page B-6.

Bypassing Effects

Suppose you're in the recording studio, and the engineers are using their own external effects
processor, or perhaps a global reverb setting for all channels. You want to silence the PC1's
effects and/or reverb temporarily (without making permanent changes to the programs or setups
you're playing during recording. You can quickly bypass either or both of the effects blocks
globally, using the FXA Bypass and FXB Bypass parameters.
