Expression

Pedal

For information on the volume change when
using the expression pedal as a volume pedal,
see the explanation of the MINVOL parameter
in the PEDAL volume 

(

p. 20)

5

While the stored patch is selected, move the

expression pedal. The parameter assigned to

the pedal in edit mode should change. 

6

To switch the ON/OFF status of a module

assigned to the pedal, push the expression

pedal fully down. 

In play mode, pushing the expression pedal fully
down switches the ON/OFF status of a module. 

• There is one exception to the above

behavior. If a patch is selected for which Jam
Play

(

p. 21)

is active, pushing the

expression pedal fully down will activate Jam
Play mode and cause the BFX-708 to go into
the recording standby condition. 

• When using the expression pedal as a

volume pedal, pushing the pedal fully down
has no effect other than raising the volume.

NOTE

The All Initialize/Factory Recall function is a special function that lets you reset the BFX-708 to the condition in

which it was originally shipped. When All Initialize is performed, all patches in the USER group and all other

settings of the unit are returned to the default condition. Factory Recall can be used to reset specific patches in the

USER group to the default settings. 

1

Turn power to the BFX-708 on while

keeping the STORE key depressed. 

The indication "ALINIT" flashes on the display. 

• To perform All Initialize 

Continue with step 

2

• To perform Factory Recall 

→ 

Use the 

/

foot switches and TYPE (BANK) 

/

keys to

select the patch (from the USER group) that

you want to return to the factory default

condition. 

2

Press the STORE key once more. 

All Initialize or Factory Recall is carried out. If All

Initialize was carried out, the unit automatically

returns to the play mode. 

Important: When All Initialize is executed, the

contents of all patches stored by the user will

be overwritten (erased). When wishing to

cancel All Initialize/Factory Recall, press the

EDIT (CANCEL) key before step 

2

1

Turn power to the BFX-708 on while

keeping the SAMPLER key depressed. 

The indication "MIN" flashes on the display. 

2

With the expression pedal fully raised,

press the STORE key. 

The display indication changes to "MAX". 

3

Push the expression pedal fully down and

then lift your foot off the pedal (the pedal

goes back a little). Press the STORE key at

this point. 

The adjustment is completed, and the unit

returns to the play mode. 

The point where the STORE key is pressed in
step 

3

determines the on/off switching point. If

you want the pedal to perform on/off switching
with a lighter touch, push the key at a
somewhat higher position of the pedal. 

The expression pedal of the BFX-708 uses a highly reliable optical sensor mechanism. The pedal is adjusted for

optimum operation at the factory, but sometimes, readjustment may be necessary.  If on/off switching is not

performed when the pedal is fully pushed down, or if on/off switching occurs even if the pedal is only lightly pushed,

adjust the pedal as follows.
