The utmost care was taken while your BP355 was being manufactured. Everything should be included and in perfect working order. If anything is missing, contact the factory at once. Please help us become acquainted with you and your needs by sending us your completed warranty card or registering online at www.digitech.com. It is your safeguard should a problem arise with your BP355.

About the BP355

Performance Mode

When you first apply power to the BP355, it powers up in Performance mode. Performance mode provides access to all of the presets within the BP355 via the Up and Down Footswitches. The Amp A/B Footswitch toggles between two amp channels for the selected preset. Knob 1 selects a tone from the Tone Library, Knob 2 selects an effects chain from the Effects Library, Knob 3 adjusts the Effects Level, and Knob 4 adjusts the Amp Gain, Knob 5 adjusts the Amp Level, and Knob 6 adjusts the Master Level (volume).

Stompbox Footswitch Mode

The BP355 includes a very convenient Stompbox Footswitch mode, where the Up, Down, and Amp A-B footswitches function as on/off switches for the Distortion, Chorus/FX and Delay effects. To enable Stompbox Footswitch mode, press the Up and Amp A/B Footswitches simultaneously. The Display will read STOMP briefly indicating Stompbox footswitch mode has been enabled. The Down, Up, and Amp A/B Footswitches will now turn Distortion, Chorus/ FX, and Delay effects respectively on and off in the current preset. Note: While Stompbox footswitch mode is active, you cannot navigate through the BP355’s presets, nor can you change the Amp A/B channels in the current preset.

To exit Stompbox footswitch mode and return to Preset footswitch mode, press the Up and Amp A/B Footswitches simultaneously again. The Display will read PRESET briefly indicating Preset footswitch mode is now active again.

1

Bypass Mode

The BP355 presets can be bypassed via an analog bypass circuit for a clean, unprocessed bass signal. To bypass the BP355, press the Up and Down Footswitches simultaneously. The Display reads BYPASS indicating the preset is bypassed. Press any footswitch to exit Bypass and return the BP355 to the last preset used.

Tuner Mode

The Tuner in the BP355 allows you to quickly tune or check the tuning on your bass. Enter Tuner mode by pressing and holding the Up and Down Footswitches simultaneously for 2 seconds. The Display briefly shows TUNER indicating that you are in Tuner mode. To begin tuning, play

a note on your bass (a harmonic at the 12th fret usually works best). The Display shows the note being played.The Matrix LEDs indicate whether you are sharp or flat. The top 5 red LEDs indicate the note is sharp and should be tuned down. The bottom 5 red LEDs indicate the note is flat and should be tuned up. The center green LED indicates the note is in tune. The output is muted in Tuner mode. The Expression Pedal controls the bass volume while tuning. Exit tuner mode by pressing any Footswitch.

Display shows

Top LEDs indicate

note is sharp

Green LED indicates note is in tune

Bottom LEDs indicate note is flat

In Tuner mode, you can change your tuning reference. The default factory setting is A=440 Hz

(displayed as A=440). Rotating Knob 1 selects, alternate dropped tunings and tuning references. Alternate tunings are A = A , A = G, A = G and tuning references A=427 - A=453. The display

window briefly flashes the current tuning reference.

Tone Library (Knob 1)

In Performance mode, this knob selects a variety of genre-based amp tone defaults ranging from Blues to Metal to Country. Behind the scenes, the Fretless/Wah, Compressor, Distortion, Amp/ Cabinet model, EQ, and Noise Gate are configured to create a specified tone with a single

click of this knob. You can further refine the sound by editing the preset (see Editing/Creating Presets on page 11). Changing between different Tone Library defaults does not change the Chorus/FX, Delay or Reverb, letting you experiment with different amp styles quickly in the context of the current effect chain.

Effects Library (Knob 2)

In Performance mode, this knob selects a variety of post-amplifier model effect chains (Chorus, Chorus + Delay, Delay + Reverb, etc.).You can further refine the sound by editing the preset (see Editing/Creating Presets on page 11). Changing between different Effects Library defaults does not change the Fretless/Wah, Compressor, Distortion, Amp/Cabinet model, EQ, and Noise Gate settings, letting you experiment with different effect chains quickly in the context of the current amp tone.

Effects Level (Knob 3)

In Performance mode, this knob changes the relative level of the post-amp effects (Chorus/FX, Delay, and Reverb). This can be thought of as an effects mix control, where turning this knob clockwise increases the level of these effects and turning it counter-clockwise decreases the level of these effects.

Amp Gain (Knob 4)

This knob adjusts the Gain (distortion) for the selected Amp model (not available for Direct).

Amp Level (Knob 5)

This knob adjusts the Level (volume) of the selected Amp model.

2

Master Level (Knob 6)

This knob controls the overall output volume of all of the BP355’s presets.

X-EditTM Editor/Librarian

You can edit your BP355 with your computer, using the X-EditTM Editor/Librarian. Download X- EditTM, USB drivers, and documentation from www.digitech.com.

Presets

Presets are named and numbered locations of programmed sounds which reside in the BP355. Presets are recalled with the Footswitches. The active effects in each preset are indicated by lighted LEDs in the Effect Matrix. The BP355 comes with 70 User presets (1-70) and 70 Factory presets (F1-F70). The User presets are locations where your creations may be stored. The Factory presets do not allow you to store any changes to them. From the factory, the 70 User presets are exact duplicates of the 70 Factory presets. This allows you to create your own presets without losing the sounds that came with the BP355.
