EFFECT SECTION
MANUAL MODE
HINT
The main use of this function is to change volume
instantly as you play, for example, when you need
to instantly go from playing a backing, rhythm
guitar part to playing a solo.
Use the Minimum Volume parameter to set the
low (minimum) volume. (See page 47.)
HINT
For ease in making the low volume setting,
press the ASSIGNABLE Block Pedal Switch
to turn the MIN Volume on, then play the
connected instrument and listen to the
sound as you adjust the MIN Volume value.
Auto Volume
When this is selected, you can use the ASSIGN-
ABLE Pedal Switch as a kind of automatic swell
function, to automatically fade up the output level.
The fade starts from silence or low volume and
increases to normal level, according to the rate set
with the Auto Volume Rate parameter (see page
49).
Operation —
1. Make sure that the AUTO VOLUME LED is
lit (use the ASSIGNABLE Block Type
switch to select it), then press and hold down
the ASSIGNABLE Block Pedal Switch. The
LED flashes indicating that the minimum
volume setting is in effect.
Note: The change to minimum volume is not in-
stantaneous. Some time is required for
minimum volume to be reached.
2. Release the Pedal Switch and the level begins
to fade up. (The LED stays flashing during
the fade up.)
Note: MIN/MAX VOLUME AND EFFECT PROGRAM
CHANGES—When the MIN/MAX Volume function
is set to minimum or low volume (the MIN/MAX
VOLUME LED flashes), the volume does not
change even when other effect programs are
selected with Pedal Switches 1–5. However,
the volume reverts back to normal when effect
program changes are made from the [–]/[+]
buttons or from events in a song.

ASSIGNABLE Block Funtions —

The ASSIGNABLE Block Pedal Switch has two
volume-related functions: MIN/MAX Volume and
Auto Volume. (These are available in all modes —
Manual, Memory and Memory Edit.) Select one of
them by pressing the ASSIGNABLE Block Type
switch. (The LED next to the selected function
lights.)
Minimum/Maximum Volume
When this is selected, you can use the ASSIGN-
ABLE Block Pedal Switch to instantly change
between high and low output level. Press the Pedal
Switch once to switch to low (minimum) volume
(the LED flashes), and once again to switch back
to high (or normal) volume (the LED is lit con-
tinuously).
