1.Unplug the power jack or remove power to the 1440.
2.Hold down the LOOP footswitch while applying power to the 1440.
3.Continue to hold the LOOP footswitch until the REC, PLAY, and MEM LEDs begin to flash together. This should take approximately 6 seconds.
4.Once all three LEDs start blinking you can release the footswitch. All three
LEDs will continue to flash for about one second until the Factory Restore is complete.
5.After Factory Restore, the display shows loop-select mode with LOOP 1 as the default bank, fadeout disabled, all effects off, and STOP mode enabled.
