Memory Store Button 

The Memory Store button stores the current voicings (Voice 1 and 
Voice 2), mix setting, and key and scale to the active memory. Any time 
changes are made to the Voice knobs (10) or Mix knob (5), the Memory 
Store button lights to show that the changes have not yet been stored. 
Additionally, the Memory Store button lights whenever the harmony key 
has been manually changed using the Strum To Set Key function. (For 
more information about saving and loading key and scale, see “Load 
Settings from a Memory Location” on page 11.) When the Store button 
is pressed, the new changes are stored to the active memory and the light 
goes out. 

Signal LED

The Signal LED turns green when a guitar signal is detected in the Guitar 
Clean Input or Distortion Return Input, yellow when the guitar signal is 
approaching levels that may clip, and red when the signal may be clipping 
and may degrade the ability of the HarmonyMan

TM

 to detect the guitar 

notes. The Signal LED does not indicate Sidechain Input signal level. 

Mix Knob 

The Mix knob controls the mix of the lead and harmony signals when the 
effect is on.  The mix can be stored as part of a custom harmony voicing to 
any of the four memories (any time the Mix knob is adjusted, the Memory 
Store button’s LED will illuminate, indicating that the change must be 
stored to a memory, or it will be lost when the HarmonyMan is powered 
down or the memory is changed).  At the full minimum position only lead 
dry (no effect) is heard.  At the full maximum position, only harmony 
signal (no lead dry) is heard. 

Memory LEDs 

The Memory LEDs indicate which memory is currently active. From the 
factory, different sets of voicings, mix settings, and harmony key have been 
pre-programmed but you can customize each memory for your particular 
needs. For example, Memory 1 could be set to a stereo detune, Memory 2 
could be used for 3rds up intelligent harmony, Memory 3 could add a 5th 
up harmony, and Memory 4 could have an octave-down voicing with mix 
at maximum for a bass guitar sound.
