SECTION 2 - PROGRAMMING THE FX7
Navigating The FX7
The FX7 is designed to be both easy to program and flexible. The
structure of an FX7 Program is logical, and it doesn't require a lot of
time to master.
To select Programs in the FX7:
1) After you power up, use the Data wheel to scroll through the
Programs. As you scroll, the effect group and footswitch LEDs
turn on and off. These LEDs indicate which effects are used in
each Program, and which Program in the Bank is selected.
There are 11 effect groupings printed on the front panel of the FX7.
Seven are digital effect groups (delay, reverb, etc.) , and four cover the
preamp section (compression, distortion, gate, EQ). Each group has
its own LED that indicates the status of each group.
If the Status LED is lit continuously, an effect in the indicated group is
active. If the LED is not lit, no effects in the group are active. If the
LED is flashing, edit mode is active, and effects in the group can be
selected using the Data wheel.
Directly below each vertical group are the Effect Selector buttons.
These buttons allow you to select and/or bypass effects in the FX7.
The following things happen when you use the Effect Selector buttons:
• When you select a bypassed effect, its group LED begins flashing
and the display shows two dashes, indicating that the effect is
selected but bypassed. (Pressing the Select button again acti-
vates the effect.)
• When you select an active effect, its group LED begins flashing
and the display shows the number of the currently selected
effect. (Pressing the button again bypasses the effect.)
When lit, the User LED below the display indicates that the current
Program is a User Program. When the LED is not lit, the current
Program is a permanent Factory Program.
Using The Footswitches
The FX7's pedalboard consists of four footswitches: the far right
footswitch is the Bank selector, and the remaining three are Program
selectors.
A Bank is a group of three Programs. There are 10 User Banks in the
FX7, each with 3 Programs for a total of 30 User Programs. There are
also 30 Factory Programs that can be selected using the Data wheel
only. User Programs in any of the Banks can be recalled in one of two
ways:
• by pressing the Bank select footswitch followed by footswitch 1,
2, or 3.
• by turning the Data wheel in Program mode.
