the operation of the footswitches for the new mode.  

This feature enables you to “play out” of a 

preset and 

make  real-time  adjustments  to  your  tone if  the song  flow  or set changes.    Then  with a  quick  press of  the 
Mode switch and a Channel switch and you are right back into the preset.  This one-button Live Mode feature 
is available only in DC Pedals designed loopers.  

Bank Switch: 

The  Bank switch  is active in both  Live and Preset Modes  but behaves differently in each mode.  In Preset 
Mode, pressing the Bank switch will cycle through the five banks of presets.  An RGB LED shows the active 
Bank.  The color indicators are Blue (1), Green (2), Red (3), Yellow (4), and White (5).  There are five Presets 
in each Bank. 
To change the current Folder, hold the Bank switch for 2 seconds.  Loop LEDs 1-4 will light and the currently 
selected folder will blink.  Press Channel switch 1-4 to select a Folder. The corresponding LED will blink after 
the Folder is selected.  Also, the corresponding Folder LED will blink each time the Looper is powered ON.  
In Live Mode, pressing the Bank switch activities the TIP function on the TRS jack.  The TRS functions can be 
latching or momentary. 

The Tuner Switch: 

The Tuner switch is similar to the Bank switch in that it behaves differently in Preset and Live Modes.  In 
Preset Mode, pressing the Tuner switch mutes the audio at both the input and output of the loops.  This stops 
any stray audio from getting into your delays and reverbs and keeps your amp quiet.  The audio is still sent 
through a buffer and to the Tuner-Out jack. 

In Live Mode, pressing the Tuner switch activities the RING function on the TRS jack.  The TRS functions can 
be latching or momentary. 

The Tuner switch can be changed to a Bank Down switch by holding the Tuner switch in Preset Mode.  This 
setting is retained during power cycles. 

Channel Switches: 

In Live Mode, the Channel switches toggle  the corresponding loop on or off.  In  Preset Mode,  the Channel 
switches recall  the saved  preset stored in that  preset/bank/folder.  In Save Mode  the  Channel switch  will 
store the current setting (preset) into that preset, bank, and folder.  

To access the TRS TIP function in Preset Mode, press switches 1 & 2 at the same time.  LED 4 will blink to 
confirm the TIP action.  To access the TRS RING function in Preset Mode, press switches 2 & 3 at the same 
time.  LED 5 will blink to confirm the RING action. 

Live Mode: 

When  in  Live  Mode,  the  looper  operates  just  like  a  traditional  true-bypass  looper.    Each  Channel  switch 
toggles the corresponding loop on/off. The Mode LED is Green when the looper is in Live mode.   The Bank 
switch activates the TRS TIP function and the Tuner switch activates the TRS RING function. 

Preset Mode: 

When in  Preset Mode, you  can use any  Channel switch  to control any combination of  loops.  The Channel 
switches set the looper to  a  Preset.  A  Preset is simply a definition of  active  loops  and TRS functions.  No
