To enter Backpage mode, press the left arrow band select button and the SAVE button simultaneously.
- Page 8 In Backpage mode, the first four columns of the display are used to edit four different parameters. Each parameter is denoted by a two letter ab- breviation. They are as follows: OE – Octave Extension: This parameter allows an 8th band to be added to the equalizer, the 8th band is at a frequency of 62 Hz, one octave below the normal low of 125 Hz.
- Page 9 AS – Auto-Scroll: This parameter enables/disables the auto-scroll func- tion. When in auto-scroll mode, the footswitch preset scroll will continue to scroll automatically even after the footswitch is released. This can be a fun way to get unique tremolo or sequencer sounds as the unit steps through the four equalizer presets at a given programmable rate.
