Saving Parameters & Settings
All changes made to the USER.SET file are available after saving and are applied as soon as you’ve rebooted the
pedal. Settings saved in the USER.SET file will persist until the file is deleted or altered in
Setup Mode
. If needed, you
can make a backup copy of the file on a different drive. You can upload premade configurations by replacing
USER.SET (UI settings) or A5.SET (algorithm settings). Make sure not to change file names.
Reverting to Default Config File Settings
If you’ve edited the config file and wish to revert to default settings, you can easily restore the default config file.
Simply delete the unwanted config file from the AFXSETUP folder, and the pedal will go back to factory settings. This
applies to USER.SET (UI settings) and A5.SET (algorithm settings). Any programs saved in the pedal’s memory will
remain there.
Service Commands
The Astronaut V supports service commands. To issue a command, create a folder or file with a specific name in the
root folder of the ASTRONAUT drive, then reboot the pedal.
Available commands:
●
ver
: creates an A5_VER.TXT file which contains firmware version info.
●
export
: saves the settings for all 33 programs to a PRESETS.TXT file. You can then use that file to restore the
needed settings.
●
import
: imports settings from PRESETS.TXT. To start the import process, place the PRESETS.TXT file into the
root folder of the ASTRONAUT drive, then create a folder or file named
import
.
●
reset
: performs a factory reset (reverting to default settings and programs).
You can also use a
knobs.set
file to import all program settings. Rename PRESETS.TXT to
knobs.set
and save the
changes. To restore program settings, place the
knobs.set
file into the root folder of the ASTRONAUT drive. The
pedal will import the settings and erase the
knobs.set
file.
