Recording Overdubs

Once a phrase has been recorded, overdubs can be added on top of the phrase� 

To record overdubs:

1�  Press the 

FOOTSWITCH

 to start loop playback� The 

PLAY LED

 will light solid green and 

the phrase will begin playing�

2�  Press the 

FOOTSWITCH

 again to begin overdub recording� The 

DUB LED

 will light solid 

yellow and audio will be recorded on top of the phrase�

3�  When done overdub recording, press the 

FOOTSWITCH

 to end the overdub recording 

session� The loop will continue playing along with the newly recorded overdub� 

4�  You can now decide whether you would like to undo the last overdub and re-record 

it (see "Undoing/Redoing Overdubs" in the following section) or proceed and record 

additional overdubs by repeating steps 2-3� 

5�  Press the 

FOOTSWITCH

 2 times quickly to stop loop playback�

Undoing/Redoing Overdubs

When recording overdubs, you can choose to undo the last overdub recorded if you wish 

to re-record it� If you change your mind or accidentally undo an overdub, you can then redo 

the overdub to retrieve it� 

To undo/redo an overdub:

1�  Record an overdub as described in the previous section, "Recording Overdubs"�

2�  Ensure the loop is playing (the 

PLAY LED

 should be on)� If the loop is not playing, press 

the 

FOOTSWITCH

 1 time to initiate loop playback� Once the loop is playing, press 

and hold the 

FOOTSWITCH

 for ~2 seconds� The 

DUB LED

 will quickly flash yellow, 

indicating the overdub has been undone� 

3�  If you wish to restore the overdub, press and hold the 

FOOTSWITCH

 again for ~2 

seconds to redo the overdub� The 

DUB LED

 will quickly flash yellow, indicating the 

overdub has been redone� 

NOTE: Each time an overdub is added, the last overdub is merged with the original loop 

and can no longer be undone using the Undo feature� If the combined loop and overdub 

length exceed 10 minutes (e�g�, a 6 minute loop and 6 minute overdub, etc�), the two 

will automatically be merged and the overdub cannot be undone� Overdubs added to a 

recorded loop of 5 minutes or less will not be automatically merged�
