OVERVIEW
1.2 Hardware Overview
The MFC-‐101 has 21 heavy-‐duty multi-‐purpose footswitches with bi-‐color LEDs. The MFC-‐101 Mark III features
"SSS," or Solid-‐State Switching, with footswitches that are both more durable and quieter than traditional
footswitches. The display is a 1×20 character, bright green, transflective LCD that offers great visibility anywhere
from total darkness to bright daylight.
1.2.1 Footswitch PERFORMANCE MODE Functions
The footswitches perform these primary functions in PERFORMANCE MODE; that is, whenever the MFC-‐101 is not
in EDIT MODE for programming:
! Footswitches 1-‐17 may be used to select Presets, or as Instant Access Switches ("IA") controlling
effects or other functions of a MIDI device. The division of the 17 footswitches between Preset and IA
functions is determined by the global
select presets while 6–17 to operate as IA Switches.
! REVEAL: Preset footswitches also have secondary Instant Access Switch functions which become
accessible when Reveal is tapped ON. The default is for footswitches 1-‐5 to select SCENES when
REVEAL is ON. When Reveal is toggled OFF, footswitches revert to their usual preset functions. See p.
29 for more information on Reveal.
In Axe-‐Fx II Mode (p. 12) press and hold REVEAL to enter LOOPER CONTROL MODE (p.79).
! EDIT: This switch takes the MFC-‐101 in or out of EDIT MODE, allowing entry to the various menus,
pages and parameters used to configure the unit.
! SAVE (also on the EDIT footswitch) is used to store MFC-‐101 presets on-‐the-‐fly after changing the
states of "general purpose" Instant Access Switches (i.e., those not set for Axe-‐Fx functions, which are
always read directly from the Axe-‐Fx as presets are loaded). If the SAVE EDITS feature (p. 69) is
