Smart FX

The FX1, FX2 & FX3 knobs are what we refer to as the “Smart FX” controls, in reference

to their clever design. Spin one of these 3 knobs to quickly and easily load one of the

currently assigned FX Models and useful, pre-conﬁgured settings for it. Turning an FX

knob all the way counter-clockwise disables the effect.

Each Smart FX knob includes 3 “Swoosh” categories, as indicated by the labeling around

the knob. Each Swoosh offers one assigned effect, which you’ll see displayed on the LCD

screen as you rotate the FX knob. You can further customize any FX Model, as covered in

the following section.

For details on all FX models available within each FX Swoosh category, please see “FX Models”

on page 6•1

Customizing FX

• Use the “Smart” feature - Simply turn the FX knob and the LCD screen will

momentarily display the current FX model name within the FX knob’s Swoosh

category, as well as a bar to indicate the “intensity” of its settings.

• Change the FX Model - As covered above, each Swoosh category initially loads a

default model. But you can choose from among several models within each Swoosh.

Turn the PRESETS knob while the above momentary FX screen is displayed to select

your desired effect. Your new selection will be stored in the FX Swoosh location per

saved Preset. You’ll see the FX knob - Swoosh’s LED change color to green (if the

2nd model is selected) or amber (if the 3rd or later model is selected) to remind you

that the Swoosh’s model has been “customized.”
