System Menu Tree
The system mode is divided into four categories [BYPASS], [AUX SW], [MIDI], and [UTILITY]
which are the top-level menu items that appear when entering system mode.
In the following, factory default settings are indicated in (bold)
[BYPASS] – Select Bypass Mode
After entering System Mode, turn the Encoder to select [BYPASS], then press the Encoder to
enter Select Bypass Mode. Turn the Encoder to select either [BYP TYP] or [KILLDRY].
[BYP TYP] – Choose Bypass Type (DSP, DSP+FX, RLY)
Press the Encoder to select. Turn Encoder to select DSP, Relay or DSP+FX.
When [DSP] is selected, Bypass sends the audio at the DSP’s inputs directly to the outputs
without any effects processing.
When [RLY] is selected, Bypass employs a pair of relays to “hardwire” the inputs to the
outputs.
When [DSP+FX] is selected, Bypass combines the audio at the DSP’s inputs with the DSP’s
outputs AND stops feeding any new input signal to the DSP Effects inputs. This is a handy
way to Bypass an Effect without abruptly killing the tail of the Effect that you’ve been using.
Press the Middle Footswitch once to back-up one level to BYPASS menu.
Press the Middle Footswitch twice to go to top level System menu.
[KILLDRY] – Kill Dry Audio (ON, OFF)
Press the Encoder to select. Turn Encoder to turn Killdry ON or OFF.
When KILLDRY is ON, the dry signal is removed from the Wet/Dry Mix parameter and the
Wet/Dry Mix controls only wet Level.
When using TimeFactor in a Send/Return loop, you may want to eliminate the dry
contribution at TimeFactor’s output and ignore the setting of the Mix Control Knob.
Press the Middle Footswitch once to back-up one level to BYPASS menu.
Press the Middle Footswitch twice to go to top level System menu.
[AUX SW] – Program Auxiliary Switches
Up to three Auxiliary Switches can be assigned as controls for the Effects parameters and
system control. The three Aux Switches are connected to the rear panel ¼” stereo phone jack.
TimeFactor detects closures by sensing whether the tip, the ring or both the tip and ring are
grounded. Note that you must use a stereo phone plug when connecting three Aux
Switches.
To assign the Aux Switches first press the Encoder to select AUX SW. You will see two fields
(split display) of the Billboard display (left/right) showing Parameter destination and Control
source assignments. An arrow pointing to the left (Parameter) is flashing (if it’s not, press the
Left Footswitch to select this field) showing this to be the selected field for editing.
