TAP Button
When either a delay or modulation effect is active, the LED next to
the TAP/TUNER button will blink in sync with the effect time/rate
setting (modulation rates can have up to 12 second intervals and
the LED may blink infrequently). If both a delay and modulation
effect are active simultaneously, the LED will blink in sync with the
delay effect and the TAP/TUNER button will only control the delay
time setting (you can bypass the delay effect temporarily if you
want to use the TAP/TUNER button to set the modulation rate).
You can use the effect settings menus or Fender FUSE to set
delay time and modulation rates more precisely.
Using TAP to set effect time/rate settings:

LED to blink, using the effects menus (see "Selecting Effects"
under Effects Menus, page4).
2. Press the TAP/TUNER button rhythmically (twice minimum)
in time with the desired interval. If you press the TAP/TUNER
button only once, the interval will be set to the maximum
value. You can see the maximum/minimum values for the
current effect in the effect settings menu (see page 5).
Watch the actual time/rate TAP values change while you are
tapping them in, by opening the effect settings menu!
