Tips

2008-06-01T15:59:26Z

Morogan: Updated Hidden Menu description to add warning about "Test SRAM" clearing out existing presets.

<noinclude>This page is intended for quick one to three liner tips. They will be displayed randomly on the main page.
To add a tip, please insert at the end of the current list and don't forget the four dashes (i.e. ----) at the top</noinclude>

----
Press and hold '''ENTER''' to automatically place and route shunts all the way to the output mixer.
----
Each time '''EDIT''' is pressed, the next effect edit page is displayed. If you are on a different page, the edit page for the nearest effect will be displayed.
----
Hold down '''BYPASS''' to restore all parameters of an effect block to default.
----
Each time '''ENTER''' is pressed while in the sequencer menu, a new random set of values is loaded. You can use this feature to find cool sequence patterns.
----
The "bright switch" of an amp block may be enabled by selecting the '''TREB''' control and pressing '''ENTER'''. This will toggle the state of the switch. The text “BRT” will appear under the control when the bright circuit is active.
----
The "boost switch" of an amp may be enabled selecting the '''DRIVE''' control and pressing '''ENTER'''. This will toggle the state of the switch. The text “BOOST” will appear under the control when the boost circuit is active. The boost switch adds 12db of gain to the amp simulation. This is useful to get more drive out the amp than it would normally have.
----
In addition to copying effects block parameters, the controller parameters can also be copied(i.e, Envelope, ADSR, LFO, etc) from one preset to another. Just press the '''RECALL''' button, page over to the '''EFFECT''' tab, select the proper preset to copy from, then select controller from the '''Retrieve''' area.
----
You can use the feedback send and return to extend the length of a chain if necessary.
----
On units built prior to mid-July 2007 the serial number is underneath the main-board. The serial number now is located on the back next to the AC inlet.
----
One thing to try is to use two amps but only one cab. The amps are mono but the cabs are stereo. So you can feed two amps into one cab block. This will save roughly 10% CPU.
----
With the power amp simulation off, the depth and deep controls are deactivated; the master becomes a volume control and the presence controls turns into a shelving filter.
----
There's a secret menu on the Utility page accessible by pressing and holding the PAGE right button. Be very careful with the the Clear SRAM and Test SRAM functions as they will completely wipe out all your presets. On firmware 4.02, the clock rate is now displayed and a TEST LEDS function has been added.
----
To insert an effect block, place it at the end of the chain and move it to the desired location (using the MOVE page, MOVE LEFT command). All the other effect blocks will automatically be moved to the right.
