1. MODEL SELECTOR - This is where you pick the model you want to use; it comes up pre-set to a great sound.

2. DRIVE - Typically sets the amount of distortion to your signal. Check the distortion model descriptions for more details.
3. BASS - Typically a bass tone control. Check the distortion model descriptions for more details.
4. MID - Typically a midrange tone control. Check the distortion model descriptions for more details.
5 TREBLE - Typically a treble tone control. Check the distortion model descriptions for more details.
6. VOLUME - This knob is always used to set the output volume of the effect. Turn counterclockwise for less output. Turn clockwise for more.
7. STOMP SWITCHES - These switches choose one of the 4 memories. Step on a switch to get the sound that was stored there. To change what’s in a memory, hold one
of these switches for 3 seconds: that will store whatever sound you are currently hearing, so you can recall it by pressing that switch.
Using the Optional Noise Gate
While developing the models for your Distortion Modeler, we thought, ‘wouldn’t it be cool and oh-so-21st century to add a noise gate to tame any annoying single-coil
hum, and/or unwanted non-fuzz noise?’ So we did, and we’ve given you the option of turning the noise gate on or off for each of the four preset memories. Follow these
steps to set the gate for each preset:
1. It’s important you start from bypass mode (all lights must be OFF). Now, choose one of the four preset stomp switches, and press and hold it to turn the preset on and
enter the noise gate select mode.
2. While still holding down the preset switch turn the Volume knob to set the status of the noise gate on the preset. (Above 12 o’clock is On, below 12 o’clock is Off).
3. The LED of the currently selected preset indicates the status of the noise gate:
•LEDlit=noisegateon
•LEDunlit=noisegateoff
Please note that the noise gate is not available when using the JET FUZZ model.

8. INPUT/OUTPUT - Just follow the labels and plug in the inputs and outputs. The input also acts as an on/off switch: the unit will be off if no cable is connected here.
When running with batteries, unplug the input to conserve power when not using the pedal.
9. EXPRESSION PEDAL - The optional Line 6 expression pedal lets your foot control one or more of the parameters of your effect while your hands are busy making
music. Operation is designed to be simple: Power off your Stomp Box Modeler by unplugging the INPUT. Next, plug in your Expression Pedal, and set the expression
pedal to the full heel-down position. Plug the INPUT back in (this turns the Stomp Box back on) and dial up a sound you like. Now press the expression pedal forward
to the fully toe-down position, and set one or more of your knobs to another setting. Rock back and forth on your expression pedal, and you’ll hear your sound blend
between the two sound settings you just made. Store this sound into one of your pedal’s memories, and both the toe-down and heel-down “snapshots” of the sound will
be saved. Use as many and whichever knobs you like with the expression pedal, except the model selector. Recalling a stored memory later without the expression pedal
connected gives you the heel-down setting only.
10. POWER SUPPLY - You can purchase an optional Line 6 AC power supply to run your pedal or you can choose to power your Stomp Box Modeler with 4 C size
batteries. We recommend alkaline batteries for long life. Unplugging the left/mono input turns the pedal off, so be sure to unplug it when you’re not using the pedal to
conserve battery power. All four lights on your pedal will flash when your batteries have nearly run out.
True Bypass & Alternate Bypass
Stomp Box Modelers include mechanically switching relays that switch in when you bypass the pedal (by kicking the stomp switch to turn off the memory you are using). These relays route your signal directly from input jack to output jack, around all the circuitry, for absolutely no processing or analog-to-digital conversion while in
bypass. There’s also an alternate bypass mode available that keeps the DSP engaged while bypassed. This buffered bypass is good for when you have long cable runs from
your Stomp Box to your amp. If you want this Alternate Bypass mode, hold the first and third (from the left) stomp switches while plugging in the left/mono guitar input.
(When the left/mono input is unplugged, your pedal is powered off.) Your pedal will remember to stay in this Alternate Bypass mode until you re-enable True Bypass.
Restoring Factory Presets
The Stomp Box Modelers come pre-programmed with a set of great tones in their memories. The sounds that you save replace these factory settings. If you ever want to
recall the factory sounds – and erase the sounds you might have saved – press the far left and far right switches while plugging in the left/mono guitar input. (When the
left/mono input is not plugged in, the pedal is powered off.)
