What Does the Knob Do?

This is known as a “minimum/maximum” knob. Rolling the knob all the way forward sets it to maximum, while turning it

all the way back sets it to minimum. Normally you’ll want this knob set to the maximum setting. To explain how to use this

knob creatively, let’s use the FX Wet/Dry setting as an example. First, select factory preset 80 TAKBX1. Turn the knob to the

maximum position. Press the UTILITY key and use the 3rd rotary knob to assign WETDRY for the expression pedal. With the

pedal at the toe position, the sound is 100% wet with the TalkBox effect. At the heel position, the effect is 100% dry (no TalkBox

effect is heard). Now roll the knob back just a bit. When the pedal is at the heel position, you’ll still hear a bit of the TalkBox

effect, but when you push the pedal to the toe position you’ll hear the effect 100% wet.

Try the same thing with DELAY VOLUME assigned to the expression pedal. If the knob is rolled back just a bit, you’ll always
