Explore Your iDea

There  are  a  number  of  additional  useful 
features  available  with  the  iDea  preamp.  
Here's a quick look at how to use them.

Playback Speed Control

The  iDea  preamp  features  a  pitch-stable 
playback  speed  adjustment  that  allows  you 
to slow down program material without key 
change while practicing.  

Select 

PLAY

 from the 

MAIN MENU

, scroll to 

the 

TEMPO SET

  and  select  it.  It  will  bring 

you to a screen that will allow you to select 
the  percentage  of  playback  speed  you 
desire.    Scroll  to  the  speed  you  wish,  then 
navigate back to the 

PLAY

 menu. Now your 

program material will playback slower, but 
at the same pitch:

The selected playback speed will remain in 
effect until you change it back.
