Q:

Why can’t I program any Preset Groups? I’m holding the switch down, but all it does is turn the

group off.

A:

Set the Preset Group Mode switch on Mo’ Control’s rear panel to “Program.” 

Q:

I’d like to make the Mo’ Control a par t of my custom pedalboard, but the rubber feet are 

keeping me from being able to velcro the bottom down to the pedalboard itself. I don’t see 
any screws holding the feet in, and they’re difficult to get out. What’s up?

A:

We wanted to keep the Mo’ Control as low to the ground as possible and still provide a rubber

non-skid sur face that doesn’t just “stick on” on the Mo’ Control. The rubber feet have four 
expanding “claws” on their back sides and hold in place extremely well. If you can’t remove 
the rubber feet from the outside, unscrew the bottom panel. Then you can push the claws 
through the holes from the backside. If you ever want to re-attach the feet, just push the claws
back through the six holes on the bottom panel. 

Q:

I already went out and bought an expression pedal for the Filter Sweep, and I’ve been using 

the Internal EFX Bypass Footswitch that came with my Mo’ Bass. Can I still use either one of 
these pedals if I want to?

A:

Sure. You can leave either of the two mono ends of the inser t cable unplugged (either filter or 

bypass) and use one of the pedals you mentioned instead… though the advantages of having 
it all in one package are obvious. 

Q:

Can I program and store EQ and other Mo’ Bass settings with the Preset Groups on the 

Mo’ Control?

A:

Unfor tunately, no. The Mo’ Bass is an analog device. It will store combinations of sounds, but 

not the Mo’ Bass settings themselves. If you have a MIDI-capable external effects device, you 
can program and store whatever you want on that device to correlate with the Preset Groups 
on the Mo’ Control. We briefly considered equipping the Mo’ Control and Mo’ Bass with some 
kind of digital-analog controlling device—visions of knobs flying around at the touch of a 
switch filled the air—but when we realized it would raise the cost of the Mo’ Bass to around 
$5,000 retail, we thought better of it.

Q:

Now that I own the Mo’ Control, I have all sor ts of questions about levels, effects, what 

happens at the XLR outs, how best to run the power amps in the Mo’ Bass… where should 
I star t?

A:

You can star t with the Frequently Asked Questions page (F1) in your Mo’ Bass Owner’s 

Manual. We recommend a thorough re-reading of that manual in any event. For even more
