User Manual

The preamp quits the shadow preset automatically after approximately 6 seconds,

and the system switches back to the MIDI preset. Note that you can't edit settings

using the sound-shaping features or knobs while a shadow preset is active.

DOWN & UP while a preset is activated: Locking and unlocking a MIDI preset

Press these two buttons simultaneously while a MIDI preset is active for

approximately three seconds to lock the preset. Locking a preset protects against

unintentional overwriting when you accidentally press the Write or Copy buttons.

The right decimal point appears in the display to indicate that this preset is locked.

Lo appears in the display, alternating with the preset number to indicate the

actual locking procedure is underway. Be sure to hold the two buttons down until

the number of the preset now longer flashes in the display.

The procedure for unlocking a preset is the same as the aforementioned locking

method. ULo appears in the display, indicating that the preset is being unlocked.

Once the MIDI preset is unlocked, the right decimal point disappears from the

display.

A tip from the designer:

This locking option will serve you well as soon as you start programming the

preamp. You can immediately lock MIDI presets to prevent you from selecting

them as targets for copy operations by mistake. The right decimal point appears

in the display indicating that this memory slot is already taken as soon as you dial

in a preset. And when you're using your preamp at live shows, neither friend nor

foe can tamper with your sounds, unless of course in the unlikely event that he or

she is familiar with the second operating level of your preamp.

DOWN & UP & WRITE in Manual mode: Unit Check mode is activated.

Press this combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately three seconds

to set the system to Unit Check mode. You should get a kick out this mode. It

steps through the control ranges of every knob on the preamp, letting you hear

every change from step 1 to step 21. Step 11 (the twelve o'clock or center

position) is the starting and ending position for each knob.

Once this function runs through every knob on the preamp, it moves on to the

sound-shaping functions, activating and deactivating them in the sequence in

which they are arrayed. This feature serves as an audio system check, and it lets

you audition the sounds produced by each step on every control range.
