1. PEC-2 Main Features
Your Providence PEC-2 Programmable Effects Controller offers unprecedented control over your effect system.
Program the effect combinations you need for your sound – utilizing up to 8 independent effect units connected to the
PEC-2 loops – and then recall them via fast, simple footswitch control. The PEC-2 can store up to 84 different “pro-
grams” which should be more than you’ll ever need. But the PEC-2 is more than just an effect “switcher”. It provides a
range of features that can significantly enhance your capabilities and versatility on stage or in the studio. And because
