SOLO/STORE - PRESET SELECT SWITCH and STORE LED - this

switch has three functions:

SOLO Mode - Each preset of the Cyborg Distortion has two 

modes, Crunch mode and Solo Mode. When you turn ON the Cyborg Distor-

tion (Point 9) it is in Crunch mode and to access the Solo Mode you press this 

switch. When Solo Mode is engaged the Store LED is lit.

Note, however, that all presets on the Cyborg Distortion can be overwritten. If you want to make the 

Crunch preset a heavy solo preset and the Solo preset a very soft distortion you can do that by saving the 

presets you like. [ Please read STORE Mode for more details. ]

Important note: Before you can STORE any changes the 2ND FUNCTION/STORE switch must be to 

the right. The led display will have a vibrating appearance when 2nd Function mode is active.

STORE Mode - Use this function to STORE (or save) changes 

you have made to a preset. To operate the STORE function, press and hold 

the SOLO/STORE switch down for 2 seconds.  The leds will stop vibrating 

and the SOLO LED will blink to indicate success.  After this the display will 

return to 2nd Function status as the leds will be vibrating.

o  

PRESET SELECT - Use this function to select a desired preset. To 

enter the PRESET SELECT mode:

1. Press and hold the ON/OFF switch (Point 9) down for 2 seconds, the LED 

above the SOLO/STORE switch will blink indicating you are in PRESET 

SELECT MODE. 

2. Now use the SOLO/STORE PRESET SELECT switch to select the desired 

preset. You will note that the presets scroll from 1 through 8 in sequence and 

then back to 1 again on the LED Display (Point 2).

N

ote that at this point the desired preset LED is now blinking along with the ON/OFF led indicating 

waiting to recall status. To RECALL the desired preset you press the blinking ON/OFF switch  All leds 

will stop blinking and the desired preset will be active.
