recorder’s functions.

control three different parameters in each preset. Rock the Expression Pedal back and forth to change
the values of the assigned parameters. The pedal can control assigned minimum and maximum values
(stop points) for each parameter. The Expression Pedal also includes a feature called V-Switch that lets
you override the parameters assigned to the Expression Pedal and replace them with the Wah effect. See
page 61 for more information on assigning the Expression Pedal.

REF G
(A=G), and
