Creating and Storing Your OwnProgram(s) ... & MoreThis is a cakewalk, honest! There are two ways you can go about doing this –by “tweaking an existing program” or by “starting from scratch.” Let’s tweakan existing program first.HINT: When you change the type or parameters in the amp or effect section, thedisplay will show the type name or parameter name, and its value (a).A short time after you make a change, the display will return to the program name(b), but the state of the TYPE buttons and the function of the value knobs will bepreserved.IntroductionPanel TourSetupProgram/Manual(a)(b)Creatingand StoringCREATING YOUR OWN PROGRAM(S)If you want to tweak an existing program, select one that’s close to the sound youwant, and start by adjusting the GAIN (1.3), TREBLE, MIDDLE, BASS (1.5–1.8),PRESENCE, and VR GAIN (1.4) (which is equivalent to the MASTER control). Youcan also use TYPE (2.3) to select the effect you want to adjust, and use valueknobs 1–3 to adjust the effect.For example, you might start with a certain preset that has a crunchy, modernrhythm sound that you like, and create a complimentary lead sound that is louder,has a bit more gain, more mids, Chorus and Tape Echo.Now here’s how to create your own program from scratch.1. Select any program, or choose Manual Mode. (p.15)HINT: It doesn’t matter which program you select, because we’re starting fromscratch.2. Set the PEDAL Selector (2.2) to “OFF.” If you want to use a pedal, we’ll add itlast.3. Hold down the TAP button (2.4) for at least one second so that MODULATION,DELAY, and REVERB are bypassed. (When bypassed, effect type LEDs thathad been lit will blink.)We’ll add modulation and other effects later.4. Using the AMP TYPE selector (1.1), choose the amp you want to use.HINT: For details on amp types, cabinet types, and effect types, refer to “Explanationsof the Amp and Effect Types” (p.21).17
