V3.0 Setups

The 300 is organized into Setups and Effects. Setups are collections of many decisions, including DSP routing (single or split), Input levels, Source, Balances, LFO Rate and Shape, and one (or two) Effects. These decisions are grouped together, named, and stored so they can be called up with a single user action.

To simplify the choice among the many possible effect and system routings, the 300 is shipped with 100 Setup Presets.

The Setup Presets are organized as follows:

101-150 = Single Setups

201-225 = Dual Mono Setups

301-325 = Cascade Setups

Single Setups

Single Setups unify both Machine A and Machine B into a single DSP engine.

Setup Selection

Press SETUP SELECT, then use the Soft knob to select a Setup Preset. When you have found a Preset you want to load, press ENTER.

All Single Setup Presets are factory loaded with an Effect of the same name. (The Effect number may not be the same.)

An asterisk (*) in a Preset name indicates that one or more parameters are patched to the Soft knob.

Press PAGE UP to display any Soft knob patches made to Setup Effect parameters; press VALUE to show the parameter values.
