as the UP footswitch.

HIT / Hold for TALK footswitch
During normal operation, this footswitch acts as
a HIT button. What does this mean?
When you activate HIT by tapping the footswitch,
a new effect (or several effects) will be added
to the current sound. This feature is perfect for
spicing up a section of a song with a particular
effect, e.g. Harmony.
TALK mode
When you press and hold the HIT / Hold for TALK
footswitch, Play Acoustic enters TALK mode.
In TALK mode, all vocal effects are bypassed,
and the microphone input is passed directly to
the output.
TALK/Tuner mode
If you have a guitar plugged into the GUITAR IN,
you will enter TALK/Tuner mode, activating the
guitar tuner built into Play Acoustic. The guitar
output is muted to allow tuning, but the dry voice
is still passed to the output, allowing you to tune
your instrument and still entertain the crowd with
witty banter.
Activating Loop mode
To enter Loop mode, press and hold the DOWN
and UP footswitches simultaneously.
For more information on the Looper, see “The
Looper”.

most recently recorded Overdub.
