EDITING AND SAVING PRESETS
Presets can be easily edited and, if desired, renamed and saved in place or saved in a dierent location. The
controls of each amplier type can be adjusted, or an amp model can be replaced with a dierent one. Similary, various eects controls can be adjusted, or eects can be removed from or added to a preset.
When a preset is active, the box containing its number is blue, indicating that no edits have been made. Once
an edit is made, the box containing the preset number turns red and the preset title screen will read “UNSAVED”. When edits are saved, the preset number box returns to blue and the “UNSAVED” title clears.
ACCESSING PRESET CONTENTS
To access the contents of a preset, press the ENCODER. From the top down, the DISPLAY WINDOW will then
show the number and name of the preset, the amplier type in use, and four boxes that organize the eects
used for that preset (if any). These eects category boxes are labeled STOMP (stompbox), MOD (modulation),
DELAY and REV (reverb). When rst accessing preset contents, the preset name and amplier type are highlighted in blue:
