of whichever knob was turned last.

These LEDs are numbered 1, 2, 3 and correspond to the three 

positions within each of the selection ranges A, B, C, D on both 

effects knobs. Use the LEDs to determine exactly which position 

the knob is pointing to, for example, A 1 is shown below:

Effects Level

You can adjust the effects level by holding down the EXIT 

button while rotating either the MOD or DLY/REV knob, 

depending on which effect type you want to adjust.

Tap Button

The TAP button can be used to "tap in" delay time and 

modulation rate settings:

•  Delay time — TAP button blinks 

green:

•  Modulation rate — TAP button blinks 

red:

When you select a delay effect, the TAP button will blink 

green 

in time with the delay time setting. When you select a 

modulation effect, the TAP button will blink 

red

 in time with 

the modulation rate setting. 
When both delay and modulation effects are selected 

simultaneously, the TAP button will blink 

green

 and only 

control the delay time setting.

 

You can use TAP to set both 

delay

 time and 

modulation

 

rate by tapping in the modulation rate first, with NO 

delay effect selected, then adding a delay effect and 

tapping in the delay time last.

To set the TAP interval of effects:

1.

  Select an effect that causes the TAP button to blink, using 

the DLY/REV or MOD knob.

2.

  Press the TAP button rhythmically (twice minimum) in time 

with the desired interval.
