On/Off button

(6)
This button switches the currently selected module or section on and off. The light of the module or sec-
tion button shows you if a module is active or bypassed. You can also switch a module on and off by press-
ing the module button itself.

Lock button

(7)
The LOCK button will keep a section or a module from being changed when you make rig changes. In
other words, if you want to preserve all the settings for a section, press the Lock button. Once a section is
locked, no matter what other sections (or modules) you change, the parameters of the locked section will
remain unchanged.
Let's say you want to lock a Wah effect on stomp A. To do this, choose or dial your desired Wah effect and
press LOCK, while the Wah effect is still in focus. Now you can switch rigs as often as you want. The Wah
will stay on stomp A until you unlock it again.
Another example would be to lock the reverb in its bypassed state, to make sure that all the rigs will sound
dry for the rest of the session. To do this, bring the reverb into focus by pressing REVERB for half a sec-
ond. Then switch it off, and press LOCK. This way, you can prevent the reverb from being switched on by
the next change of rig.
You can also use the lock function creatively to find new combinations between several sections. For ex-
ample: you can lock the stack section once you have found your favorite amp/cabinet combo, and then
switch rigs, so you can try this amp with stomp and effects from other rigs.
Locking a module will prevent it from being changed when you select a different rig. However, you can still
edit and recall presets for locked modules: Simply select a locked module – and adjust its settings accord-
ingly.
To get an overview about the lock state of the modules: press and hold LOCK, and the status of the button
LEDs will change - all locked modules will be lit, while all non-locked modules remain unlit. To lock or un-
lock individual modules, press their respective buttons while holding the LOCK button.
