About Preset Programs
The A4 Guitar has a total of sixty (60) effects programs, including thirty (30) user programs and thirty (30) preset programs. It is possible to
edit the preset programs, but these edited versions must be stored to the user program area. The user area is also used to store original,
user-created programs. Each program area consists of five memory banks, each capable of holding six programs.
