PRESETS

The pedal includes 128 total presets slots. Good luck using them all! The first 9 presets are accessible 
from the pedal using the Bank switch and both stomp switches. All 128 are accessible via MIDI 
Program Change messages, which are outlined in the MIDI section.
 
   o 

To recall a preset: 

       1. First, select the bank of presets you want to access with the A|B|C switch. The pedal will  
          automatically recall the first (red) preset in that bank. 
      2. Next, scroll through the presets in that bank by pressing both stomp switches at the same  
          time. The pedal will load the green preset. Each press of both stomp switches will load the  
          next preset until you get back to red and the pattern repeats inside the selected bank. 
   
   o 

To save a preset:

 

       1.  Scroll to the preset color in the bank you want to save a new sound. 
       2. Using the knobs and switches, dial in the desired modulation sound. The Rate LED will turn  
           purple indicating the preset has been modified. 
       3. To save, hold down the Bypass and Tap switches until the preset LED blinks. The preset is now  
           saved and the LED will return to the preset color.

GLOBAL PREFERENCES

Bypass Mode

 - The M1 offers two bypass modes. True Bypass and DSP Bypass. In True Bypass mode, 

the M1 uses relays to completely bypass all pedal circuitry. In DSP Bypass mode, the M1 locks the 
relays on and uses the DSP to bypass the pedal. The M1 ships in True Bypass mode by default and will 
remember the selected bypass mode and use that each time it is powered up until you  
change it.

   To change the bypass mode:

   1.  Hold down the Bypass switch while applying power until the preset LED lights up a solid color -  
       about two seconds.
   2. Press the Tap switch to scroll to the color corresponding to the desired bypass mode. 
       a. Red: True Bypass
       b. Blue: DSP Bypass 
   3. Press both stomp switches simultaneously to store the selected bypass mode.

Volume Adjust

 - The M1 includes the ability to adjust the overall output volume of the pedal to 

ensure the effects sit right where you want them in the mix. Some modulation effects work well at 
unity gain while others can benefit from a slight increase in volume to help them stand out. If you 
experience clipping, try lowering the level with this control.

   To adjust the output volume:

   1.  Hold down the Bypass switch until the Bypass LED begins to flash. 
   2. Continue holding down the Bypass switch and use the Depth knob to adjust the output level  
       of the pedal. Minimum is 0dB, noon is +2dB, maximum is +4dB. 

Factory Reset

 - To reset the pedal back to factory settings, hold both stomp switches while applying 

power to the pedal for longer than 10 seconds. After 10 or more seconds, release both stomp 
switches and the pedal will be reset to factory default settings.
