footswitches. The preset LEDs, above the Footswiches, indicate which preset is loaded. All
of the slider settings except Input Gain are stored in memory.
Loading a preset
: First, move the Preset Bank slider to the appropriate bank (1-4).
Then tap the footswitch corresponding to the desired preset, either Preset A or B. The LED
for that preset will light.
Saving a preset
: Once a memorable sound has been created, saving it in a user preset
location is simple. First choose a bank (1-4) to store the sound. Then, press and hold
down the footswitch denoting which of the presets to overwrite. The corresponding preset
LED will blink until the preset is saved, then the preset LED will light solid. Releasing the
footswitch before the blinking stops will abort the save operation.
Preset fun facts
:
•
After loading a preset, the Preset LED above the corresponding footswitch will
light solid. If the bank slider is then moved to a different bank, the preset LED
above the footswitch will go off. The Preset LED will light
only
when the Preset
Bank slider is pointed to the bank that the current preset resides.
•
Changing into Free Mode from Preset Mode unloads the current preset and
resets all parameter values to their slider positions.
•
Changing into Preset Mode from Free Mode does not immediately load a preset,
it simply makes it possible to save the current settings or load a different preset.
•
You cannot Load or Save a Preset while in Free Mode. You must be in Preset
Mode.
•
If a slider is moved after a preset is loaded, the value of the parameter will jump
to the slider’s new setting.
•
If you load a preset while in Bypass Mode, it will not bring you out of Bypass. So
you can load/save a preset while in Bypass.

6
Preset 3A:
Short Room – A short decay reverb with a good amount of damping.
Preset 3B:
Long Room – A long decay reverb with some damping.
Preset 4A:
Echo Verb – An echo effect made out reverb. The Pre-Delay Time and
Feedback are turned up but the reverb decay is turned down.
Preset 4B:
Resonator – With the Pre-Delay Feedback turned up to its maximum and the
Pre-Delay Time nearly at zero, certain notes will cause the reverb to resonate. Try moving
the Pre-Delay Time slider to accent different pitches.
If at some point you decide that you would like to restore the factory presets, this is how
you do it:
Warning: This will erase all of the presets you have created!
1. With power disconnected from the Holiest Grail, press and hold down all three
Footswitches simultaneously.
2. While holding the Footswitches, apply power to the Holiest Grail.
3. Keep holding the Footswitches down. After applying power, you will see the
Preset A and Preset B LEDS blink for about 2 seconds.
4. After the LEDs have stopped blinking, release the Footswitches and power cycle
the unit. The Holiest Grail will now have the factory presets loaded into memory.
