Blue Nebula User Guide, Firmware Revision 4 

 

Page | 5 

Tip: In the Echomatic II Classic emulation P1 controls the combined echo level of Heads 1, 2 and 3, not the 
overall Dry/Wet mix. This means you can adjust the H123 level but the H4 level will still be taken from the 
value stored in the patch. 

EDITING A USER PATCH 

Blue Nebula can store a total of 128 User Patches, numbered from 

0

 to 127. Each patch can be given a 

name (up to 16 characters) and can use any of the 16 available effects. Each effect has three parameters 
which can be set using the parameter knobs P1, P2 and P3 and these settings are stored in the patch. 

 

To edit a User Patch hit the 

Edit

 button and the LCD will show the effect currently being used by the 

patch: 

 

You can change this if you wish by this using the 

UP

 and 

DOWN

 buttons to select any of the 16 effects 

available in the Blue Nebula. With the required effect displayed hit the 

OK

 button to select it and the 

top line of the display will now show the 

names of the effect’s parameters with the 

current values of the 

three parameter adjust knobs P1, P2 and P3 on the bottom line: 

 

The ^ and 

 characters that you may see beside each number indicates if the parameter knob value is 

currently lower (^) or higher (

) than the value currently stored with the patch. Think of the arrow as an 

indicator telling you to increase (^) or decrease (

) the control setting to match. You can ignore these
