MICROTUBES INFINITY: USER GUIDE

PERFORMANCE LOCK 

To enter or exit the performance lock, press A and C 

simultaneously.

In this mode, all LEDs will gently breathe on the 

Microtubes Infinity to indicate that it has been locked. 

This mode prevents any accidental parameter 

changes or edits to your presets. You can still change 

between the saved presets A, B, and C, and enter the 

tuner or bypass modes, but potentiometer updates, 

slider touches, or encoder rotations will not respond 

to any changes. 

Tip

Enter the performance mode after the 

soundcheck while playing live gigs.

BLUETOOTH PAIRING 

To begin Bluetooth pairing with the Microtubes 

Infinity,  press  and  hold  an  encoder  while 

simultaneously  rotating  the  encoder.  The  five  LEDs 

under each encoder will illuminate one-by-one, 

and  pairing  will  begin  when  all  five  are  lit.  Look 

for  “Microtubes  Infinity”  on  your  list  of  available 

bluetooth devices.
