footswitches to change one patch at a time without accidentally skipping over a patch. Use
UP
and
DOWN
to alter the time in increments of 10ms (a longer time gives a slower repeat rate) and press
Store
when you’re done.
MANUAL MODE
If you hit the
OK
button the Blue Nebula will go into
MANUAL MODE
. This allows you to use the Blue
Nebula as a manual stomp box effect and you can select any of the 16 effects by using the
UP
and
DOWN
buttons with the current effect name shown on the top line of the LCD. You can adjust the
effect parameters in real-time by using the P1, P2 and P3 knobs. The function of each parameter knob
varies depending on the effect you have selected and will be shown on the bottom line of the LCD:
To exit
MANUAL MODE,
press the
Edit
button.
TWEAKING THE MIX
Depending on the acoustic properties of the venue in which you are playing, there may be times when
you wish to fine-tune the relative levels of the echo with the dry signal
–
in a large room with reflective
surfaces the natural reverberation of the room may require a lower amount of echo. Rather than having
to go in and edit each patch to adjust the ‘Mix’ you can simply press the
Store
button. This will display
an asterisk (*) at the right-hand end of the bottom line on the LCD:
The P1 knob will now be ‘live’ allowing you to tweak the dry/echo mix. When in this mode the setting of
the P1 knob temporarily overrides the value stored in the patch.
NB: YOU CANNOT CHANGE
PATCHES WHILE IN THIS MODE.
To exit back to normal mode, press the
Edit
button and the P1 value in the patch will be restored.
