42. Preset Selector
Rotate this endless control to select one of the 24
preset effects. When the rotation stops, that preset
number will flash for 10 seconds. Push the control
in prior to that in order to select the preset or let
it revert back to the previously selected preset.
The current preset number is shown in the display.
The different presets are shown in the table below
and on the mixer’s silkscreen near the main meters.
Further details of each preset are explained in Appendix
C on page 40. Only one preset may be selected at
a time.
43. Preset Display
This display shows the number of the currently
selected effects preset, as shown in the list of presets
above. Rotate the preset selector knob right or left
to change a preset. When the mixer is turned on,
the FX section will load up the last-used preset.
44. FX Mute Switch and LED
When engaged, the internal effects processor
is muted, and its output will not appear on the main mix
or monitor mix. The adjacent mute LED will illuminate
as a reminder that the effects are muted. When power
is first applied to the mixer, this LED will illuminate
and the FX will be muted for about 5 seconds while
the little FX gerbils inside settle down.
If this switch is not engaged, then the internal effects
are set free and may be added as required to the main
mix and/or monitor mix.
If this switch is not engaged, then the internal
effects may be muted or un-muted with a footswitch
[all ProFXv3 mixers except the ProFX6v3].

40. Aux Master Knobs
[ProFX12v3, ProFX16v3,
ProFX22v3, ProFX30v3]
These provide overall control over the aux mon
and aux FX levels just before they are delivered
to the aux mon and aux FX outputs, as well
as internal FX in the case of the FX master.
Auxiliary is usually the control you turn up when
the lead singer glares at you, points at his stage
monitor, and sticks his thumb up in the air. (It would
follow that if the singer stuck his thumb down, you’d
turn the knob down, but that never happens.)
The ProFX12v3 has a single aux master
and no aux FX master.
41. FX to Mon Knobs
[ProFX12v3, ProFX16v3,
ProFX22v3, ProFX30v3]
These knobs route the effects output to the monitors.
Use the mon controls to provide effects to monitors.
Slowly add effects to the monitors by turning the mon
knobs clockwise. Use the aux master knobs (described
above) to monitor the amount sent.
The ProFX12v3 has a single FX to mon knob.
