Selecting A Preset

When you first turn on your Millennium, you are in Preset mode, and the display will appear something like:

To select a preset, do the following:

1. Make sure Preset mode is selected (the

<Preset>

button will be brightly lit). If the

<Preset>

button is dim, press it once to return to

preset mode.

2. Use the

<Preset>

button to select the preset bank (factory or user). Successive presses of the

<Preset>

button toggle between the

factory and user bank of presets.

3. Using the

<Preset/Effect>

wheel, scroll to the preset you want to use.

Using the Tuner

The Tuner of the Millennium can be accessed two ways. Either in page l of the Utility menu or by using the optional Johnson Amplification
J-12 foot controller. The following explains both modes of operation.
