Q20 Reference Manual 101
Footswitch Controls
Two footswitch jacks, [ADVANCE] and [BYPASS], are provided on the back panel
of the Q20.
Program Advance
The [ADVANCE] jack allows the Q20Õs Programs to be advanced remotely from a
footswitch. The Program numbers included can be selected by setting the Footswitch
Range, found on Global Page 2. The range can be as small or large as you like,
including any the Preset or User banks or both. Example: If the Footswitch Range is
from Preset 89 to User 0-14, the Programs will continuously cycle from Preset 89 to
User 0-14 whenever the Advance footswitch is triggered.
To set the Footswitch Range:
➀ Press [GLOBAL].
The [GLOBAL] buttonÕs LED will light.
➁ Press [PAGE >] to advance to Global Page 2.
The display will look like this:
FOOTSWITCH: 0 0 Pset TO 00 Pset
➂ Turn the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to select the Program number to be the
beginning point of the Footswitch Range (Preset 00Ð99 or User 0-00Ð1-99).
➃ Press [PAGE >] to advance the cursor to the next field, and use the
[VALUE/ENTER] knob to select the Program number that is to be the end point
of the Footswitch Range.
When the last Program of the Footswitch Range is reached and the Advance
footswitch is pressed again, the first Program in the Footswitch Range will once
again be selected.
Bypassing Effects
The [BYPASS] jack allows you to bypass the effects of the Q20 via a footswitch.
This is the same as pressing the [BYPASS] button on the front panel. Each time
either the [BYPASS] button is pressed, or the footswitch connected to the [BYPASS]
jack is pressed, Bypass mode is toggled on and off again. When Bypass mode is
turned on, the [BYPASS] button's LED will be lit.
When Bypass is enabled, all Effect Blocks are momentarily disabled and will not
have audio routed from them to the outputs. However, if the Program does not route
the L/R Inputs directly to the L/R Outputs or the Global Direct Signal is Muted, you
will not hear anything.
In order for Bypass mode to function correctly, make sure the L/R Inputs are routed
to the L/R Outputs, and the Global Direct Signal Mute function is turned off. If the
inputs are not routed directly to the outputs, the [BYPASS] button acts more like a
ÒmuteÓ since nothing will be heard when it is enabled.
