6 : PRESET CONFIGURATION

OVERVIEW

The Configuration or "Config" page contains controls
to set up the current preset or scene. Press PAGE
once from stompbox mode to show the "CFG" tab.
Some options on the Config Page affect the entire preset:
 How the eight effects are divided into PRE and POST chains.
 Whether each effect is in SERIES or PARALLEL with the effect before it.
 Whether True Bypass works on PRE, POST, or ALL ins and outs.
Other options on the Config Page affect only the current scene:
 The state of Relay 1 (TIP-to-sleeve, RING-to-sleeve, or BOTH tip- and ring-to-sleeve).
 The state of Relay 2 (TIP-to-sleeve, RING-to-sleeve, or BOTH tip- and ring-to-sleeve).
 A MIDI Program Change message (number and channel) sent to MIDI OUT when the scene is loaded.

CONFIGURE PRE AND POST

If you are not familiar with the concept of PRE and POST effects, see the diagrams on
or look for the relevant answers under
If you're using only PRE effects, set this to "8/0".
If you're using only POST effects, set this to "0/8".
The FX8 has independent PRE and POST effect chains. This makes
it possible for the unit to work simultaneously between your
guitar and your amp, and in your amp's effects loop.
TO EDIT THE PRE/POST CONFIGURATION:
 Press PAGE once from Stompbox Mode
to display the Config page.
 The PRE/POST setting for the current preset is shown as
two numbers separated by a slash. Make changes with the
VALUE knob. A setting of "8/0" positions all effects as PRE.
"0/8" positions all effects as post. "4/4" provides 4 PRE effects
and 4 POST effects. The table at right shows all options.
