SECTION 2 - PROGRAMMING THE TEC8G
Navigating The TEC8G
The TEC8G is designed to be both easy to program and flexible. The
structure of a TEC8G Program is logical and doesn't require a lot of time to
master.
Selecting Programs in the TEC8G:
After you power up, use the Data wheel to scroll through the Programs.
As you scroll, the effect group and footswitch LEDs turn on and off. These
LEDs indicate which effects are used in each Program, and which Program
in the Bank is selected.
There are 14 effect groupings printed on the front panel of the TEC8G.
Seven are digital effect groups (delay, reverb, etc.) , six cover the preamp
section (compression, distortion, gate, EQ), and one is the Expression
Assign group. Each group has its own LED that indicates the status of
each group.
If the Status LED is lit continuously, an effect in the indicated group is
active. If the LED is not lit, no effects in the group are active. If the LED is
flashing, edit mode is active, and effects in the group can be selected using
the Data wheel.
Directly below each
vertical
group are the Effect Selector buttons. These
buttons allow you to select and/or bypass effects in the TEC8G. The fol-
lowing things happen when you use the Effect Selector buttons:
• When you select a bypassed effect, its group LED begins flashing and the
display shows two dashes (0 on EQs), indicating that the effect is select-
ed but bypassed. (Pressing the Select button again activates the effect.)
• When you select an active effect, its group LED begins flashing and the
display shows the number of the currently selected effect. (Pressing the
button again bypasses the effect.)
User LED Indicator
The User LED below the display indicates that the current Program is a
User Program in the User bank when lit. When the LED is not lit, the cur-
rent Program is a permanent Factory Program in the Factory bank.
Using The Footswitches
The TEC8G's pedalboard consists of four footswitches. The far right
footswitch is the Bank selector, and the remaining three are Program selec-
tors.
A Bank is a group of three Programs. There are 10 User Banks in the
TEC8G, each with 3 Programs for a total of 30 User Programs. There are
also 30 Factory Programs that can be selected using the Data wheel only.
User Programs in any of the Banks can be recalled in one of two ways:
