EFX Select Mode
NOTE: When entering this mode, the current preset will remain active.
In this mode, SWITCH 1 (39) selects between the Ultra and Rhythm channels. The CHANNEL LED (40) will
illuminate when the Ultra channel is active. SWITCH 2 (42) toggles between two effects and their respective
settings. This switch may be used as an on/off switch if one of the settings has no effects active. To use the
MODULATION LED (41) as a status indicator, the “off” (or lower setting) should be made with the LED dark, and
the “on” (or higher setting) made with the LED illuminated. SWITCH 3 (44) toggles between two reverb and delay
settings. As with effects settings, this switch may be used as an on/off for reverb and delay. Both functions change
simultaneously when this switch is depressed.
TWEAK FEATURES
EFX amplifiers offer hidden features to further adjust the parameters of the digital effects. In addition to the
adjustments described in the EFX ADJ PARAMETERS section of this manual, additional tweaks may be made to
customize effects to user preference. Tweaks are made by pressing and holding the EFX ADJUST (24) control while
simultaneously rotating the VOLUME BOOST (25) control.
The EFX ADJUST control must be pressed for at least one second to enter Tweak Mode. The LED ring
surrounding the control will now reflect the value of the effect being tweaked. As in standard parameter changes,
the effect being tweaked will be the active effect as indicated by the LED adjacent to the effect name.
Tweak Adj Parameters
Tremolo: Intensity Funk Wah: Decay time Phaser: Depth
Flanger: Depth Rotary Speaker: Wet/Dry mix Chorus: Wet/Dry mix
To recover the factory settings for both Standard and Tweak Modes, press the EFX ADJUST (24) control and hold
for one second to enter Tweak Mode, then press the DELAY (26) control.
