L.E.D. GUIDE 

 

As we’ve packed a lot of variables into the TERRAFORM, it’s easy to 

feel intimidated by the fact the LED’s keep changing color. Here is 

your quick reference guide to understand what your TERRAFORM is 

telling you. 

 

BYPASS STOMP L.E.D.

Blue:    

 

Pedal is engaged, pre/post mode (post active), preset unmodified

TROUBLE SHOOTING 

 

§

 

PROBLEM:

 The effect isn’t doing anything, none of the 

knobs work, sounds like it’s bypassed when it’s on.  

Answer:

 If you’re using mono, make sure the switch is set to 

NORMAL, not pre-post. 

§

 

PROBLEM

 The blend control on the tremolo isn’t doing 

anything.  

Answer:

 When using mono, you won’t hear the effect of the 

blend knob. Stereo users only. 

§

 

PROBLEM:

 Why does the bypass LED turn red? 

 

Answer:

 Excellent question. This is so that you know the 

current preset you’ve loaded has been modified from the 

original. Purely for your information. 

§

 

PROBLEM:

 MIDI scares me, shall I take the blue pill? 

Answer:

 

You definitely need to take the red one. We promise 

you that the TERRAFORM will not become self-aware and it 

will not decide your future. It will make your rig easier to use 

and control. You are the Matrix and MIDI is there to power 

you.  

 

 

FACTORY RESET

 

To reset your TERRAFORM to the state it was in when it flew the 

nest from us, just hold down the BYPASS stomp, TAP TEMPO stomp 

and PRESET button at power up. The LED’s will turn red… Then 

restart the TERRAFORM and it resets to the factory settings! 
Obviously, this means, all your presets will be lost!
