1.1 MODEL select buttons<br />

Use these when selecting the effect category you want to edit with value knobs 1–6, and<br />

when switching effects on/off. If an effect you’re using is ON it will be lit (or blinking during<br />

editing), and if OFF it will be dark.<br />

Press a button once and its LED will blink; now you can use value knobs 1–6 to edit the<br />

parameters of that effect.<br />

If you want to turn off an effect that is currently on, press the model select button for the<br />

appropriate effect once (it blinks), and then press that model select button once again to<br />

turn it off (dark); the name display will indicate [--OFF--].<br />

The pedal effect is placed in front of the amp model and the modulation, delay, and reverb<br />

are placed after the cabinet model.<br />

NOTE: The reason that modulation, delay, and reverb effects are placed after the amp — rather than<br />

before it as a “stompbox” — is that they sound better and more realistic. For example, REVERB<br />

emulates the sound created by a room or hall. So, logic dictates that if we’re going to add it to<br />

our sound, the closer to the end of the signal chain we put it, the more “real” and natural it’s<br />

going to sound. The same is true for DELAY and MODULATION effects — they’re going to<br />

sound more natural if added near the end of your signal path, not at its beginning. Also, if you’re<br />
