Operating Modes
Defeat Mode:
This mode can be entered via a momentary footswitch plugged into the DEFEAT jack on the rear of the
unit. It can also be entered by holding the MODE switch for a full second.
Defeat mode can be exited by another press of the footswitch, or a normal press of the MODE switch.
The display will read “by” when in Bypass mode, and “mu” when in Mute mode. To change which mode
is used, press the CONFIG button to alternate between them while in the Defeat mode. This is a global
setting that the unit will remember when powered down.
The data wheel can still be used to select presets while defeated. You will see the preset number for a
moment, after which the “by” or “mu” will return to the display. The preset will load inaudibly, so you
will hear it almost immediately when exiting defeat mode. If you need to simply see the current preset
number while defeated, press the EDIT button to see it for a couple seconds. The display will switch
back to “by” or “mu” automatically.
Bypass Mode:
In this mode, the left input will be routed to the left output, and the right input will be routed to the
right output (the input and output level knobs will still be active – it’s not a hard-wired bypass). Use this
mode when the unit is in a serial-type loop, such as a guitar amp’s effects loop, between a mixer and
amplifier, etc.
Mute Mode:
When in this mode, the outputs will be muted. Use this mode when the unit is in a parallel loop, like
a mixer’s aux send, etc. If used in series with an instrument or as a channel insert, it will disable the
channel.
Editing tip:
Choose Bypass or Mute prior to editing presets. The default mix parameters will be
99 (100%) when in Mute mode – saving you time from having to set them there.
