MANUAL MODE
For example, if you press [EQ] first, the
display will prompt you to press either
[CMP] or [DST]. Then, if you press [CMP],
Distortion (DST) will automatically be as-
signed to the third block. Finally, determine
the order of the last two effects by pressing
either [CHO] or [REV]; the one NOT pressed
will automatically be assigned to the fifth
block.
Repeat steps #1 and #2 above if you want to
change the order again.
HINT
For best results in connecting the various
effects, follow these guidelines:
* When using the Equalizer or Amp Simula-
tor effects with Distortion, put Distor-
tion BEFORE the EQ block.
* When using the Wah effect with Distor-
tion, put Distortion AFTER the EQ block.
Bypass Switching of Effect Blocks — GROUP

the sub parameters (as done in step #1 above).
After that, you can edit the main parameters as
usual, and switch back to the sub parameters at
any time by pressing the appropriate effect selec-
tor buttons.
Utility Functions
There are five Utility functions: CONNECT,
GROUP, FOOT, MIN VOL and AUTO VOL. The
Utility functions can be executed from both the
Manual and Memory Edit modes (however, the
following explanation refers only to the Manual
mode). To exit any of these operations, press any
of the mode buttons ([MANUAL], [MEMORY]
or [SONG/PATTERN]).
