Boomerang® E-155 Chorus*Delay – Software Version 1.1 – 7 Nov 2011 – Page

If you have an expression pedal attached, the setup information is also stored with the patch. See Section 6 - Expression
Pedal.
Also, whether each effect is on or off is stored in the preset. Why would you want to store a preset with neither effect
active? What, are you nuts? Actually such a preset can be useful.
Suppose you play most of a song dry but use Chorus on the bridge and Delay on the lead break. Adjust the Chorus and
Delay knobs to get the sounds you want, turn off both effects and store this as a preset. When recalled, neither effect is
active, but your lovingly tweaked sounds are ready to go. Here comes the bridge… press the Chorus On/Off button. Ahhh.
The lead follows the bridge; here we go. Press both On/Off buttons at once. The Chorus turns off, the Delay turns on and
you are in tone heaven, heaven, heaven…
So tweak the sounds to your heart’s content and then save your settings in one of the presets. There are eleven locations for
storing presets. Each is represented by one of the lights in the ‘Clock’ Display. See “Storing A Preset” below for more details.
NOTE
– Each style retains its unique parameter settings. For example, select Classic chorus style and set speed = 3, depth =
5 and delay = 4. Then select Shimmer chorus style and set speed = 6, depth = 6 and mix = 8. When you select Classic style
again the parameters are returned to speed = 3, depth = 5 and delay = 4. All of these settings are stored, so each preset can
have 3 distinct chorus sounds and three distinct delay sounds.
Controls
There are two buttons in the Preset section of your E-155.
Select Button
This chooses one of the 11 presets.
Recall Button
This button does a few different things.
1) After selecting a preset, press & release this button to recall the preset.
2) After recalling a preset, press & release this button to turn the effects on and off.
3) After creating a sound of your own, press & hold this button for two seconds to store your sound as a preset.
Selecting And Recalling A Preset
– There are 3 ways the Chorus
*
Delay recalls presets.
Each of the eleven numbered lights in the clock display represents a preset. The
active
preset, the one affecting your sound
right now, is indicated by a green light.
Method 1
The Preset Select button steps through the presets in clockwise order with each tap. Press & hold the Select button and the
indicator steps through the presets in counterclockwise order. The
selected
preset light becomes yellow while the
active
preset light remains green.
A tap of the Recall button recalls the
selected
preset and all parameters are updated to those of the preset. The Chorus and
Delay style lights will put on a show.
After a preset is recalled, a tap of the Recall button turns off all active effects and the Recall light turns off. This is a way to
easily turn off a preset that uses both chorus and delay without having to press both on/off buttons. The next tap turns the
effects on again.
Method 2
Tapping the Preset Select button advances to the next higher preset AND recalls it. Tapping the Recall button moves to the
next lower preset AND recalls it. This “one tap” method is great for live performance. Holding the Recall button still stores
modified presets.
Selecting A Preset Recall Method
You choose which method you want to use during power up. Hold down the Delay On/Off button while powering up to
select the new, one-button-press method. Hold the Chorus On/Off button during the entire power up sequence to select
the original two button method. Your choice will be remembered so that you needn’t repeat this process with each power
up.
Method 3 - Recalling
Presets With An External MIDI Controller
Presets may be recalled by sending external MIDI Program Change commands on channel 16 to your Chorus
*
Delay pedal.
Program Change 1 recalls Preset 1, Program Change 2 recalls Preset 2, etc. Connect your MIDI controller to the Pedal Link™
In port with a normal MIDI cable. Commands must be sent on MIDI channel 16.
Editing A Preset
To edit a preset, simply change any parameter by moving a knob or tapping the Tap Tempo button. A preset may have
Chorus active, Delay active, both or neither.
