"BINARY LED DISPLAY:

Those familiar with older style "bass pedals" may, on first glance, think that the 8-4-

2-1 LEDs on the left side of the MIDI PEDALBOARD are "footage" indicators. In
reality, though, they are something quite different numbers! How? It requires a little
simple math on your part. All you need to do is add the values of the illuminated
LEDS to get the result. Some examples follow (o = off/ = on)
