3. Operate the expression pedal while playing your guitar. As  
you raise and lower the pedal, the output sound will change  
correspondingly.  
Each time you press the UP switch, the Modulation effect or  
Ambience effect will be turned on/ off.  
The effects that are turned on/ off when you press the UP switch  
can be specified beforehand in the settings of the program, as  
follows.  
If VOLUME is selected in the Pedal effect, it will not be possible  
to turn the expression pedal on/off. The pedal indicator will re-  
main lit.

ating the expression pedal, verify the amount of force that is re-  
quired to make the pedal indicator light and to apply the effect.  
MOD: Only the Modulation effect will be turned on/ off  
AMB: Only the Ambience effect will be turned on/ off  
M+A: Both the modulation and ambience effects will be  
turned on/ off  
For some effects, it is not possible for the Modulation and Pedal  
effects or the Pedal and Ambience effects to be used simulta-  
neously. For such combinations, attempting to turn on both ef-  
fects will cause the previously-on effect to be turned off auto-  
matically.

Modifying the program name  
For some effects, the Modulation and Pedal effects, or the Pedal  
and Ambience effects cannot be used simultaneously. In the case  
of such a combination of effects, attempting to turn on both si-  
multaneously will automatically turn off the previously-on ef-  
fect.  
Press the NR LEV switch so that the LED beside the switch is  
blink. Use value knob 2 to select the character that you wish to  
change (the character will blink), and use value knob 1 to change  
the character. The available characters are shown below.  
Available characters  
As an example, here's how to select CHORUS as the Modula-  
tion effect.  
1. Press the MOD switch. The LED beside it will blink, indicat-  
ing that the Modulation effect is selected.  
Even if the Modulation effect has been turned off within the  
program, it will be turned on at this point.  
2. Rotate value knob 1 (TYPE) to select CHORUS. The type name  
will appear in the multi-display. If you select the effect that  
had originally been selected, the Original icon will appear in  
the multi-display.  
If you wish to save the modified program name, you must per-  
form the “Writing programs” operation. If you turn off the power  
or select a different program without writing the program, the  
program name you edited will revert to its previous setting.  
3. Value knobs 2, 3, 4 and 5 will adjust the chorus speed (SPEED),  
chorus depth (DEPTH), chorus feedback amount (FEED-  
BACK), and the mix balance between the chorus sound and  
the direct sound (MIX). If the adjusted value matches the un-  
edited value (the original parameter value) as you rotate a  
knob, the Original icon will appear in the multi-display.

Adjusting the expression pedal  
1. Turn on the power while simultaneously holding down the  
EXIT switch and the PROG/FX SELECT switch. The Multi-  
display will indicate “RELOAD?”  
(Calibration)  
If you find the expression pedal difficult to use, perform this pro-  
cedure so that the pedal will function optimally. For example if  
the effect does not reach maximum when the pedal is advanced  
all the way, or does not reach minimum when the pedal is re-  
turned all the way, use the following procedure to make the ap-  
propriate adjustments.  
2. Press the WRITE switch. The Multi-display will change to  
RELOAD,” and the reload operation will begin. When the  
reload operation is completed, the display will indicate  
COMPLT” for approximately one second. Then the power-  
on display will appear, and you will enter Program mode.  
When making adjustments, use your hand to move the pedal.  
Accurate calibration may not be possible if you use your foot to  
operate the pedal.  
Never turn off the power during the reload operation.  
When you perform the reload operation, all user programs will  
be rewritten. Rhythm settings will also be initialized.

lation effect. If you use this effect in a program where the Modu-  
lation effect is turned on, the Modulation effect will automati-  
cally be turned off.  
In this effect, the pedal controls the vibrato that is applied to the  
feedback sound.  
While sustaining a note on your guitar, advance the pedal to pro-  
duce a feedback sound. The feedback sound will disappear when  
you return the pedal. Value knob 3 adjusts the speed of the vi-  
brato.  
F BACK 1 and 2 cannot be used simultaneously with the  
ROOM1ARENA Ambience effects. If you use these effects in  
a program where RO O M1ARENA are turned on, the  
ROOM1ARENA effect will be turned off automatically.

SIC COMP is selected for the Drive Amp effect.  
DELAYHALL cannot be used simultaneously with the Ambi-  
ence effect. If you use this effect in a program where the Ambi-  
ence effect is turned on, the Ambience effect will automatically  
be turned off.  
F BACK1 (Feed Back1)

when you start playing your guitar, and the pedal indicator  
will change from blinking to lit.  
GARAGE (Garage Reverb)  
This simulates the reverberation of a mid-size room such as a  
garage. The pedal will control the reverb level.  
5. Recording will end when you record up to the maximum time,  
or when you once again advance the pedal all the way. When  
recording ends, the pedal indicator will go dark, and the re-  
corded sound will be played back as a loop. If you wish to re-  
do the recording, repeat from step "3. Advance the expression  
pedal ..."  
HALL (Hall Reverb)  
This simulates the reverberation of a mid-size to large hall. The  
pedal will control the reverb level.
