8 CLOCK : Sample Clock Frequency (from 250 Hz to 30 kHz). This pot is also used in the FX section to set parameters 9 BYPASS : True relay bypass. When the switch lights up green, BISCUIT is active. It turns orange when input signal is strong. When its light is off, BISCUIT is inactive and input signal is directly routed to output jacks, with no electronics in between 10 - 1 to 8 : These switches have 2 main functions : muting or inverting the 8 bits and selecting FX type and parameters. -

The DRIVE pot adjusts the signal level at the BISCUIT input. Turn this pot counterclockwise for strong input signals, and clockwise for weaker signals. The BYPASS switch lights up green when BISCUIT is active, and for no or moderate input signal. The light goes from green to orange to indicate a strong signal. -
