which should look like this:

a=35      b=49    load

There are two nonvolatile memory “spaces”, labelled and b, which can be 

compared. Rotate the left knob to choose the memory number from 00 to 99 for the 
a space, or the middle knob for the space. Memory 00 is a factory default, which 
is set to: MS N, N; 24 bits; all gains and eqs at 0 dB. Memories 1 through 99 are 
user-adjustable.

Let’s assume we want to compare memory #34 against memory #23. To recall 

(load) memory a into the equalizer, rotate the right knob until the display looks 
like:

a=34<   b=23   load A

This loads memory A, which in this example is preset #34. Rotate the right 

knob again (in either direction) to yield:

a=34    b=23<   load B

This loads memory B, which in this example is preset #23. It’s that simple.

If you change a knob corresponding to a memory which is currently loaded, the 

caret and the letter after load disappear, indicating that you have to load again if 
you want this new memory. Of course, the previously loaded memory is still in the 
equalizer until the next load. Try it. It’s easy and intuitive.

The preset load function remembers the last memory you were working on, 

and it will come back to that mode when you return to this screen.

Saving Presets. Press the presets button again to arrive at the save screen, 

which looks like this:

a=01                save

You cannot save anything into preset 00. To save the current equalizer state 

into any memory, rotate the left knob to choose the memory, then rotate the right 
knob (in either direction), and the display now looks like:

a=01                saved

To save the current state of the equalizer into a series of memories, just 

increment the memories with the left knob, rotate the right knob, and repeat. This 
is very useful when you have been doing a job and want to neutralize a bunch of 
memories.
