Using Your Foot Controller

Plug one end of the supplied cable into either one of the
jacks on the foot controller until you hear a “click”. Plug the
other end of the cable into the footswitch jack on the rear
of a MicroPro Series amplifier. To remove the cable, press
the plastic tab on the plug down to unlock it. Should you
lose or damage the included cable, you can substitute a
normally wired network cable with RJ-45 plugs.

(You can use one foot controller to switch two amplifiers at the same time by
connecting each amplifier to a jack on the foot controller.)

With the foot controller attached, you now have switchable control over six of
the amplifier’s functions. For better orientation, the illuminated labels above
footswitchable functions turn on and off along with the foot controller LEDs.

MODE Switch

When the footswitch is engaged (Blue LED on), the FULLQ setting is activated.
When the switch is off (LED off), the active mode will revert to the setting
indicated by the knob. If the knob is set to FULLQ, no change will occur.

BOOST Switch
When the footswitch is engaged (Red LED on), the gain boost is activated in
accordance with the settings on the amp. If the Boost Voice Selector is set to
OFF, the footswitch will not activate the boost function.

LIM Switch
When the footswitch is engaged (Amber LED on), the Overdrive Limiter is
activated. The amount of limiting is set by the amplifier’s LIM knob. If the LIM
knob is at its minimum position (fully counter-clockwise), no limiting is
applied.

TREM Switch
When the footswitch is engaged (Amber LED on), the Tremolo is activated. If
the TREM knob is at its minimum position (fully counter-clockwise), the
Tremolo will remain off.

REV Switch
When the footswitch is engaged (Green LED on,) the Reverb is activated. The
amount of Reverb is set by the REV knob. If the REV knob is at its minimum
position (fully counter-clockwise), Reverb will remain off.

FX LOOP Switch
When the footswitch is engaged (Amber LED on), the Effects Loop will be
activated and the signal path will be switched from the internal path to the
RETURN jack. If there is no plug inserted into the RETURN jack, the FX LOOP
will remain bypassed (no change will be heard).

NOTE: All of the amplifier functions noted above are enabled without a foot
controller connected. The foot controller allows each function to be bypassed
as desired.

Troubleshooting

The MicroPro Deluxe Foot Controller is compatible only with Quilter MicroPro
Series amplifiers. Do not use the foot controller with any other devices. There
are no user-serviceable parts inside the foot controller. Attempts to repair the
device yourself may result in voiding of the warranty.

If the device is exposed to a liquid spill or excessive moisture, unplug it

immediately and allow to dry thoroughly before using.
