Customizing a Footswitch Color
1. From the Customize screen, turn Knob 5 (Switch LED) to select
the desired color (or turn it o).
Normally, you should leave this set to "Auto Color."
2. Press Knob 1 (Cancel) or to exit.
Swapping Footswitches
If you want to change the location of Stomp mode footswitches (especially those
with multiple items assigned or custom labels and LED ring colors), instead of manu-
ally reassigning everything, you can quickly swap all assignments between two foot-
switches.
1. Touch (but don't press) any two Stomp mode footswitches
until the following dialog appears:
OKCancel
Swap all assignments between footswitches 2 and 8?
2. Press Knob 6 (OK).
Tips for Creative Bypass Assignment
• If you assign a footswitch to more than one block or other item, "MULTIPLE
(X)" isn't very descriptive. Don't forget to custom label it - See "Customizing a
Footswitch Label"
• Ifyoundyourselfconstantlytogglingoneswitchoandanotheron,assign
both blocks to the same footswitch, and while one is selected, press BYPASS.

ously. A footswitch can have up to eight blocks assigned, so a single press
couldturnfourblocksonandfourblockso,veblocksonandthreeblocks
o,oneblockonandsevenblockso,etc.
• Assign a Wah block to be engaged only when moving an expression pedal
past 1%. Set the Wait time long enough so that natural foot movements don't

pression pedal or Variax knob's travel. Experiment with turning on multiple
overdrive blocks—one at Position 5%, another at Position 30%, another at
Position 70%, and so on.
• When using a footswitch to toggle between two Amp or Amp+Cab blocks,

amps!). Use an EQ block to make one Amp block sound a bit closer to the
other Amp block and assign its bypass to the same footswitch.
• Assign a delay block with very high feedback to be turned on only when reach-
ing the toe position of an expression pedal (or fully clockwise Variax knob).
Squeals galore.
