WORKING WITH PRESETS
The 10 user presets can be selected using the footswitches in either PRESET mode or
BANK mode. Please see the following section on Operating Modes for more details.
Loading a Preset
When the Dirt Clod gets enabled, a preset is loaded from memory. The control settings
are taken from the saved preset and not from the physical position of the control
knobs. Therefore, the position of the knobs may not be aligned with the settings of the
loaded preset. For example, the loaded preset may have DIRT set at 11 o’clock, but the
physical DIRT knob is set to 3 o’clock.
In order to quickly find the current preset’s settings, the display is used to indicate
knob position. Once a knob starts to rotate, the display will show whether the knob is
set too high or too low, similar to the way an electronic tuner works. The upper line of
the display is lighted if the current knob position is higher than the preset setting, and
the lower line of the display is lighted if the current knob position is lower than the
preset setting. Once the knob position is aligned with the preset setting, the middle line
of the display will light.
Editing a Preset
When turning knobs, the control will not engage until the knob position reaches the
setting of the currently loaded preset. For instance, in the previous example, turning
the DIRT knob will not change the sound until the knob reaches the 11 o’clock
position. Once the DIRT control is engaged, it will behave like an ordinary pedal knob.
Once changes are made to the knob settings from that of the loaded preset, the yellow
PRESET EDITED LED will light.
Saving a Preset
All knob settings can be saved to the current preset number at any time by simply
pressing and holding the DIRT knob for 5 seconds. All of the LEDs will flash to indicate
the preset has been saved.
OPERATING MODES
The top panel footswitches can function in two different modes to access presets.
BANK Mode
In BANK mode, the two switches act like two independent preset switches. Pressing
the ‘A’ switch will toggle the A preset, and pressing the ‘B’ switch will toggle the B
