H9 User Guide Bypass
15
TIP: Using MIDI Program Change to control Bypass - MIDI Program Change is
typically used to load a preset but it can also be programmed to directly control
the unit’s BYPASS setting. See the System Mode [MIDI] section for details.
Note: The H9 has been carefully designed to not mess with your tone in any of
the Bypass settings.
Note: With the H9’s power turned off, the relays automatically bypass the unit.
This means that if power should accidentally go down while you’re playing, your
guitar signal will not disappear. Of course, if power is down, you may have bigger
problems.
Killdry – Send/Return Loop
If you’ve connected the H9 using an effect send/return loop (either your amp’s or
a mixer’s), the H9’s Killdry feature can be enabled.
When Killdry is enabled, the H9 does not send any dry signal to the outputs; only
the Effect. Note that when Killdry is enabled, Bypassing will mute the Effect rather
than Bypass it when DSP Bypass is selected.
Killdry’s factory default is disabled. It can be enabled in the [BYPASS] menu of the
System Mode. Here’s how:
1) Press and hold the HOTKNOB button and Right Footswitch
simultaneously for a few seconds to enter System Mode.
2) Turn the Knob until [BYPASS] is displayed.
3) Momentarily press the HOTKNOB button.
4) Turn the Knob until [KILDRY] is displayed.
5) Momentarily press the HOTKNOB button.
6) Turn the Knob to select either [YES] or [NO].
7) Press and hold the HOTKNOB button and Right Footswitch
simultaneously for a few seconds to exit System Mode.
