NOTE
In order to audition the sounds in each channel, you must first select the channel that you wish to use with the
MANUAL / FOOTSWITCH mini toggle switch for each channel, these are located next to the MODE SELECT mini toggle switch -
located towards the center of the chassis on the Front Panel. Remember to leave the unused channels' Manual Switch set to the
"FOOTSWITCH" positiion. If you forget and select one channel while the other channel is selected as well, you will activate the
MIX MODE and hear whatever blend of the two channels that was last used on the Mix Ratio Control. (SEE "MIX MODE" page 6)
To footswitch the sounds in either channel, select the FOOTSWITCH position of the MANUAL / FOOTSWITCH mini toggle in both
channels (switches toward the center...see illustration below) and connect the remote footswitch to the FOOTSWITCH jack
labled "CH" located on the right side of the Rear Panel.

Start with the CLEAN Channel and work
with the controls here (as it is a little
easier to hear the controls attenuate their
respective frequencies) and adjust them
according to the Mode that you wish to
play in.
