presets are created at the factory. It is important to know that the LEDs indicate which preset is active and
which loops are active. After selecting a Preset, the LEDs will light solid for the loops that are ON. The LED
associated with the selected Preset will blink fast if the loop is ON, or will blink slow if the loop is OFF. Note
that the loops are wired in sequential order, meaning loop 1 feeds into loop 2 which feeds into loop 3, etc.
Changing the order of the loops in a preset is not supported. We also include an Insert jack between Loops 3
and 4. This insert may be used many different ways, including using it to configure Loops 4 & 5 in amp
effects loops.
Programming Mode
–
Creating Presets:
Hold the Mode switch for 2 seconds to enter the Programming Mode. When in Programming Mode, the Mode
LED will blink slow. The looper will operate like it is in Live Mode with each Channel switch toggling the
corresponding loop. The Bank switch is active in Programming Mode and operates the same as in Preset
mode except Folder selection. Changing Folders in Programming Mode is not supported so make sure you
select the correct Folder prior to entering Programming Mode. Use the Channel switches to set the desired
loops. Once you have the desired loops set, press and hold the Mode switch again for 2 seconds. The looper
will enter Save Mode. The Mode LED will blink fast and the Channel LEDs will chase. If during Programming
Mode you press the Mode switch bu
t don’t hold it, the looper will cancel the programming and go back to
where it was before you entered Programming Mode.
Save Mode

Saving Presets:
After the looper is in Programming Mode and you have the looper set to the desired preset, press and hold
the Mode switch for 2 seconds to enter Save Mode. In Save Mode, the Mode LED will blink fast and the
Channel LEDs will chase. If you want to save the preset to a new bank, press the Bank switch until the
desired bank is shown by the Bank LED. (Changing Folders in Save Mode is not supported.) Then press and
release any Channel switch to save the loops to that Preset/Bank. The LEDs will blink once to confirm the
save, and the looper will return to Preset Mode with the saved preset active. Pressing the Mode switch while
in Save Mode will cancel the Programming and the looper will return to the state before programming. The
LEDs will blink three times if the save is cancelled.
MIDI Program Change Messages:
By default, the looper sends a MIDI Program Change on the MIDI Output Channel every time a new preset is
selected. The MIDI PC message contains the same preset number as the looper. Presets are sequential
through the banks. Preset 1 in Bank 1 sends MIDI PC number 0. Preset 2 in Bank 1 sends MIDI PC number 1,
and so on. Preset 1 in Bank 2 sends MIDI PC number 5
… Preset
5 in Bank 5 in Folder 4 sends MIDI PC
number 99. The Global Preset sends MIDI PC number 127. The looper can be configured to NOT send a MIDI
PC message on certain presets. To access this option, see the Configuration section.
The VirtualLooper app can be used to send any value MIDI PC (valid values are 0-127) with each preset. This
feature can be used to better manage presets within the entire pedalboard. For example, preset 4 may recall
preset 22 in the Delay and Reverb pedals and preset 9 can also recall preset 22 in the Delay and Reverb
pedals. This MIDI PC map is saved in the bypass looper and will be reset during a Factory Reset.
The looper responds to MIDI PC messages from other devices. Any MIDI PC message received on the MIDI
Input Channel with a preset value of 0 through 99 will recall the corresponding looper preset (1-100). The
