Patches for editing can be selected from either

storing. When you have altered a patch from the

PRESET group and want to store it, you must

select a location in the USER group.

The BFX-708 switches to the edit mode.

Immediately after the edit mode is activated, the

Operation)

The edit mode allows you to freely alter the parameters that make up a patch, so that you can create your own patches.

This section describes the operation steps. 

Each patch of the BFX-708 consists of several effects (effect modules), as shown in the illustration below. A patch is

a combination of modules, each with their distinct parameter settings. 

Within each module, there are several effects which are called effect types. For example. the REV (reverb) module

comprises effect types such as HALL, ROOM, and PP-DLY (ping-pong delay). 

The elements that determine the sound of a patch are called effect parameters. Each module has several effect

parameters, whose value can be adjusted with the parameter knobs 1 - 3. 

Also within the same module, different effect types will have different parameters.
