Control Input Button

This small button is used when configuring external control. See the External Control section for

more details.

Preset Storage and Recall

The Gemini features a user preset that can be easily saved and recalled using the footswitch. When a

preset is recalled, all of the parameters instantly jump to their saved value, regardless of the position

of the knobs. This allows you to save your favorite sound without having to worry about the knob

positions.

Saving Your First Preset

 Bypass the Gemini by clicking the footswitch once. The engage/bypass LED should be dark at

this time.

 Press and hold the footswitch for 5 seconds and wait for the engage/bypass LED to turn red.

You are now in preset mode.

 Set up the effect how you want it to sound, including the effect switch, depth, speed, mix, and

tone knobs. Once you have made a change, the engage/bypass LED will begin to blink.

 To save your preset, hold the footswitch until the LED blinks rapidly 3 times.

 Now you can engage and bypass the Gemini using the footswitch, and each time you engage

the effect, your saved preset will be recalled.

Editing a Preset

 Activate your preset (the engage/bypass LED will be solid red).

 Change any parameter you wish (effect switch, depth, speed, shape, and level knobs). Once you

have made a change, the engage/bypass LED will begin to blink.

 When you are ready to save, press and hold the footswitch for a few seconds. The LED will blink

three times to show that the preset was saved.

Exiting Preset Mode

 When Preset Mode is active, bypass the effect using the engage/bypass footswitch. The

engage/bypass LED should be dark at this time.

 Press and hold the footswitch for 5 seconds and wait for the engage/bypass LED to turn off. You

have now exited Preset Mode.

Quick Preset Switching

Using the Neuro App, it is possible to configure an option that speeds up the process of switching

to/from preset mode. In this mode, preset mode activates in 800 ms instead of 5 seconds.

Universal Bypass

Most effect pedals offer either true bypass or buffered bypass. The Gemini contains two separate

circuits for bypass mode, allowing you to choose the method you prefer. The true bypass path uses

signal relays, which are electromechanical switches. This provides an ultra-low resistance path from

the input jacks to the output jacks, which is effectively the same as a wire. The buffered bypass path
