Steps Overview
The Step feature allows you to create a series
of up to 10 linked effect changes associated with
a preset. In a preset that has steps, for example,
tapping the right TAB/STEP button could toggle
to another preset’s effects, turn on all of the ef-
fects at once, increase the Delay level by 6 dB or
all of the above.
Some factory presets e.g. #1 ANOTHER BRICK
have been programmed with examples of steps.
You can see that a preset has steps when the
COUNT item in the HOME screen is a num-
ber greater than 1. When you see this, you can
press the right TAB/STEP arrow to cycle forward
through the pre-programmed effect changes. To
cycle backward from steps 2-10, you can press
the left TAB/STEP arrow.
To Program Your Own Steps
1. Select a preset as the desired starting effect in
your chain.
2. Hold the right TAB/STEP arrow for a moment
to enter Step programming mode. Segments
of the main display will reverse color.
3. To insert another preset’s effect as the next
step, use the PRESET buttons to locate the
desired preset.
4. If you want to change which effect blocks are
on, press the desired effect buttons.
5. If you want to make an edit, press the EDIT
button and make your changes. Edits made in
Step insert mode before accepting are stored
automatically to the new step.
6. Tap the right TAB/STEP arrow to accept your
new step and exit Step programming mode.
The COUNT legend in the main display will
increment by one.
Next time you load the preset, it will have the “al-
ternate personality” you can access quickly with
the TAB/STEP arrow buttons.
To delete a single step,
1. Use the TAB/STEP buttons to locate the Step
you want to delete.
2. Tap the left TAB/STEP arrow to delete the cur-
rent step. This will perform the deletion and
present the Home screen.
To speed Step programming, all insertions and
deletions are automatically stored when you exit
Step mode. If you want to experiment without
affecting an important Step chain, you can either
store the preset to another location rst (Steps
are stored with presets) and work there or per-
form a backup before experimenting and restore
when done.
In addition to the front panel TAB/STEP but-
tons, the optional Switch3 footswitch can be
programmed to give you access to the steps in
presets that have them.
To cancel and exit Step programming mode,
hold STEP.
