FUNCTION AND OPERATION
1. Engage & Bypass
When you first plug the power in, the pedal will be in
Bypass Mode
, meaning that the input
signal will be passed through the pedal without any modification from the presets.
There are two different bypass types for BIAS Distortion:
A. Buffer Bypass (System default) -
The signal will go through the buffer circuit and generate a
lower-impedance output signal. This allows the output signal to go through a much longer
cable without compromising high frequencies. In addition, Buffer Bypass can prevent the
common ‘pop’ noise when engaging/disengaging a preset.
B. True Bypass -
This creates a short circuit between the input and output to keep the
bypassed signal untouched as a high-impedance output signal. If you are using a cable
longer than 18.5 feet, you might get volume loss in the high frequencies using this
bypass mode.
To engage a preset, press one of the A/B/C footswitches to turn on the effect. Press the same
footswitch again to switch back to bypass mode, or press another footswitch to switch to
another preset.
2. Save Preset
Once a preset is recalled, you can tweak any of the knobs on the control panel to modify its
sound and the Preset LED will start to blink, indicating that the parameter’s value has
changed.
3. Assign Footswitch
Each footswitch can turn on or off one of the 20 presets in
the pedal.
1. hold the preset knob
2. LED stop blinking
1. hold the preset knob
2. LED stop blinking
1. switch to other presets
2. LED start to blink
Preset ON
1. tweak of the knob
2. LED start to blink
To save the parameter changes, hold the Preset knob until
its LED stops blinking.
To dismiss the changes, switch to another preset or
switch back to Bypass Mode.
To assign a different preset to a footswitch, just tweak the
Preset knob to switch to another preset and the footswitch
LED will start to blink. Hold the Preset knob until the LED
stops blinking, and the footswitch-preset mapping will
update.
