PROGRAM PRESET 2.
1. While in PLAY mode select preset 2 using the UP/DOIT switch. Repeat the above steps to program this preset with the
following changes:
2. In the Name Menu, give this preset a different name, such as "DIST + DELAY".
3. In the Patch And Gain Menu, use the SELECT switch and the DOWN or UP/DOIT switches to first select the "source" and
"destination" shown in the chart below and to adjust the gains for each of these paths.
SOURCE DESTINATION GAIN
instrument distortion 0dB
instrument delay 0dB
distortion amplifier 0dB
delay amplifier -12dB
Notice that "0dB" is used a lot as a convenient starting point when making connections between effects or other devices. This
keeps everything at unity gain throughout the effect network to avoid an unnecessary cut of signal level. After the basic patch
is created then the gains can be "tweaked" to get the best tonal response out of preamps and overdrives and to balance the
levels between effects.
4. Press the MODE switch several times to get back to the PLAY MODE.
PROGRAM PRESET 3.
This preset is different from the other 2 presets in that the continuous control feature of the Switchblade will be used to
gradually change the path of the signal from a direct signal to a signal going through the distortion. With this preset you may
use a MIDI continuous controller to change the sound from a direct clean sound to a full distortion sound depending on the
position of the continuous controller. IF YOU ARE NOT USING A CONTINUOUS CONTROLLER THEN YOU MAY
SKIP THIS EXAMPLE.
1. Name the preset as described above as "SWEEP DIST" or some other appropriate name.
2. Follow the chart below to program the patch. Notice that in this chart there are two gain areas called START GAIN and
END GAIN. These 2 gains represent the extremes of the continuous controller. When the controller is all the way up then the
START GAIN is the gain that is set in the paths. When the controller is all the way down then the STOP GAIN is the gain that
is set. If the controller is set to a mid point then the gain is somewhere between the START GAIN and the END GAIN.
Whenever the END GAIN is set to a different value than the START GAIN, it remains on the display even after the cursor is
moved to another location. In addition, when the cursor is moved from the STOP gain area it goes to a 5th position. This 5th
position is used to select which of the 2 controllers will be assigned to this particular patch. The 2 controllers are the "up"
controller and the "down" controller. For these examples, you are only using the "down" controller, so select the downward
arrow.
SOURCE DEST START GAIN END GAIN CONTROLLER
instrument distortion 0dB "blank" ----
distortion amp OFF 0dB "down"
instrument amp 0dB OFF "down"
3. You can test the sound of the continuous control while still in this menu by moving the continuous controller pedal. Notice
the "down" arrow position changes when you move the pedal.
