WYSIWYG 

(What You See Is What You Get)

Although the three memory locations are a convenient feature 

that you most likely will learn to appreciate, BH500 also features a

2.  Although the position of the knob now reflects the sound you 

hear,

stored

 with the 

current preset. This is indicated by the two arrow LEDs in the 

Compression/Tuner section.

–  When these LEDs flash slowly, this indicates that the knob
