13 FX Loop 1/2

14 Reverb

This button switches to and fro between

and

. The red LED above

the button lights up to indicate

is on. You can also select loops via MIDI

program change or Custom Z-9 Footswitch.

Both effect loops can be configured in series (that is, 100% processed signal when

is set to

) or in parallel (1% to 99% mix of preamp and effect signal

when

is set somewhere between

and

), or be bypassed altogether

(0 % wet balance when

is set to

). You can connect an effect device to

each of the effect loops and switch from one effect device to the other using the FX

Loop 1/2 function, or employ just one of the two effect loops (for example, FX 2

Loop) and use

to activate the effect. In the latter case,

serves

as a bypass (set its

knob to the

position). Note that in the signal path,

and

are post the preamp and pre the two master knobs.

This button activates and deactivates the onboard spring reverb system. The red LED

above the button lights up to indicate

is active. This button is important when

you're programming MIDI patches. Use it to assign the internal reverb signal to the

desired MIDI preset. Adjust the wet signal for the two main channels using the

assigned Reverb knob (45, 46) located at the rear panel of the amp.

can also be

switched via MIDI program change or Custom Z-9 Footswitch.

Press this button to store the modified setting of a programmable feature to a MIDI

memory slot (generally called a preset). Here's how to distinguish between

and

: with the former you're actually programming or writing a new MIDI preset, with

the latter you're making an exact duplicate of an existing preset.

The system will select a Write operation whenever you edit a MIDI preset, that is, when

you have modified a programmable feature. You'll know that this is the case because

the Status LED flashes steadily when you edit one or several programmable features. If

you press the button and did not edit a MIDI preset, the system will select

. This

means that the given preset becomes the source, and its contents are dumped to

another preset and stored there.

The system quits

mode autonomously

if you do not select a new MIDI preset within about 30 seconds.

The preset programming process -- the Write command, that is -- is not carried out as

soon as you press the button. Pressing the button merely initiates the process. You

must hold it down for about a second until the Status LED flashes three times in rapid

succession. This mechanism is designed to prevent inadvertent programming. You can

cancel the programming process at any time before the Status LED first illuminates by

releasing the Write button. Again, the preset will only be programmed successfully if

you press and hold the button until the Status LED flashes three times.

When you press this button, the Status LED lights up

continuously to indicate

is activated.

You'll have to go through a similar routine to copy a preset once you select a target

preset: When the Status LED extinguishes, the copy operation is underway and can no

longer be cancelled. The LED flashes three times to indicate the preset was copied
