User Manual

Rigs and Signal Chain 24
Load Defaults
While working with the Effect Select Screen, you may have noticed the headings used to separate presets
associated with one effect type from those associated with the type above. Those headings are not user presets —
instead, they contain a default or neutral setting of the respective effect type. If, for example, you load the heading
Graphic Equalizer from the right column, all its frequency bands will be flat at the beginning.
You can load these defaults via Autoload, or you load them manually using the soft button “Load Defaults”.
Load Type
Preselect a new effect type and press the soft button “Load Type”. This effectively locks all parameter settings, e.g.,
Mix 50% and Ducking +0.5, so that only the effect algorithm itself changes. This works in contrast to choosing
another preset or “Load Defaults”, both of which overwrite the parameter settings.
“Load Type” will often make the choice of algorithms easier: for example, you can make a dedicated setting for a
wah effect, and then step through the various wah types — the overall effect will change, but settings for the various
ranges, including wah pedal control, will remain the same. You can also switch between a phaser and a flanger, to
check the different impact of these two algorithms, and the modulation scheme will remain unchanged. “Load Type”
is exceptionally powerful in exploring the numerous delay types, while crucial settings as Note Value and Feedback
remain unchanged.
Auto Type
If you like the “Load Type” feature, you can automate it by pressing “Auto Type”. This way, a new type is loaded
every time the type is changed, similar to “Autoload” for the presets. The box to activate “Auto Type” is shown every
time you enter the Effect Select Screen.
✓ In addition to the TYPE and BROWSE knobs, PROFILER Head and Rack users can also use the <PAGE> buttons
and the RIG navigation cross to select effect categories, types and presets.
