15. Tap

The Tap button is used to set the rate/time of the current ‘focused’ effect. The time 
between each press of the tap button defines the rate set.

Once set, the Tap LED will flash in time with the set rate of the currently ‘focused’ 

effect.

16. Master Volume 

This controls the overall volume of your amplifier. Turning it clockwise increases the 
volume. This is a global setting and not saved when storing a patch.

If the master volume is at zero this allows for silent recording via the emulated output 

or USB. The emulated level is controlled via the preamp volume.

17. Power Switch 

This switch is used to turn the amplifier on and off, the white dot means the amplifier 
is on.

NOTE:

 when in Demo Mode powering the amplifier off and then on restores the 

factory default settings. When not in Demo Mode, the amplifier will retain its state 
when powered back up.

This setting is saved when you store a patch.

11. DLY (Delay)

Press this switch to turn the delay effect on, off, or focus the effect for editing. This 
setting is saved when you store a patch.

12. REV (Reverb)

Press this switch to turn the reverb effect on, off, or focus the effect for editing. This 
setting is saved when you store a patch.

With all three of the effect switches the LED will show what state it is in:

LED

Effect State

Description

LED not on

Effect off

Effect not active

LED red

Effect on but not ‘focused’ for editing

Effect is active, but not affected by the front 
panel effect controls

LED green

Effect on and ‘focused’ for editing

Effect active and affected by the front panel 
effect controls

Repeatedly pressing each effect switch on the front panel has the following effect:

Effect off

Turns the effect on and ‘focuses’ the effect. Any previously focused effect 
reverts to an ‘on’ state

Effect on but not ‘focused’

Focuses the effect. Any previously focused effect reverts to an ‘on’ state

Effect on and ‘focused’

Turns the effect off. If any other effect(s) are on, the previously ‘focused’ 

effect resumes being ‘focused’

NOTE:

 Only one effect may be ‘focused’ at any time

13. Effect Type

This changes the effect type and edits a parameter of the currently ‘focused’ effect 

(modulation, delay, or reverb).

Each  segment  represents  a  different  effect  (four  for  each  type  of  effect).  An 
LED  shows  which  effect  type  is  currently  active.  The  distance  travelled  through 

the ‘segment’ modifies an effect parameter. The Effects Table below shows the 

modifiable parameters:

This setting is saved when you store a patch.

14. Effect Level 

This modifies an effect parameter. For modulation and delay effects, turning the Level 
control while holding down the Tap button (15) modifies the rate/time of the effect.
