Rhythm
Press the RHYTHM switch (the LED will light) and the rhythm
will begin playing. Use value knob 1 to select the rhythm pattern
(50 types), use value knob 2 to adjust the tempo (range: 40—208),
and use value knob 3 to adjust the rhythm level (range: 0—30).
To stop the rhythm, press the RHYTHM switch while the rhythm
is playing.
The rhythm will stop when you enter Bypass, Mute, or Edit
modes.
AUX IN
Sound from an audio device (e.g. CD or MD) connected to the
AUX IN jack can be mixed with the effect sound for listening,
which is a convenient way to practice along with a song.
The AUX input and the effect output will automatically be mixed
and output from the OUT PUT jack except when you are in
Phrase Trainer mode.
Use the controls on your audio device to adjust the AUX IN
volume.
Expression pedal
You can use the expression pedal to control 23 types of Pedal
effect in realtime.
If a program uses a Pedal effect, the pedal indicator LED’s will
light to indicate the Min-Max value of the effect when you press
up and down on the pedal. Operation for the SAMPLE1
LOOP2 pedal effects is different from the other effects (see p.14).
Using the expression pedal as you play
1. In Program mode, select a program that uses the expression
pedal.
2. Make sure that the pedal indicator is lit. If it is not lit, advance
the expression pedal once as far as it will go, making the top
pedal indicator light (the pedal will be on)
3. Operate the expression pedal while playing your guitar. As
you raise and lower the pedal, the output sound will change
correspondingly.
If VOLUME is selected in the Pedal effect, it will not be possible
to turn the expression pedal on/off. The pedal indicator will re-
main lit.
The on/off status of the expression pedal is not memorized by
each program.
Do not apply excessive force to the expression pedal. Before oper-
ating the expression pedal, verify the amount of force that is re-
quired to make the pedal indicator light and to apply the effect.

In this mode, you can press the DOWN switch to switch the drive
channel while you perform. You can press the UP switch to turn
the Modulation and Ambience effects on/off.
As in Program mode, you can edit the settings, use the metro-
nome, and write a program.
In this mode it is not possible to switch programs or to select
bypass or mute.

Switching the drive amp channel
Since each program contains two separate Drive Amp effect set-
tings, you can switch between backing and solo sounds without
changing programs.
Each time you press the DOWN switch, the Drive Amp effect
settings will switch between channels A and B. When channel A
is selected the LED beside the DRIVE·AMP switch will light
green, and when channel B is selected the LED will light red.
Turning the Modulation and Ambience effects on/off
(INDIVIDUAL)
Each time you press the UP switch, the Modulation effect or
Ambience effect will be turned on/off.
The effects that are turned on/off when you press the UP switch
can be specified beforehand in the settings of the program, as
follows.
Procedure
1. Press the NR LEV switch.
2. Rotate value knob 3 to change the indication in the multi-dis-
play to the desired setting.
MOD: Only the Modulation effect will be turned on/off
AMB: Only the Ambience effect will be turned on/off
M+A: Both the modulation and ambience effects will be
turned on/off
For some effects, it is not possible for the Modulation and Pedal
effects or the Pedal and Ambience effects to be used simulta-
neously. For such combinations, attempting to turn on both ef-
fects will cause the previously-on effect to be turned off auto-
matically.
Exiting Effect Select mode
To return to Program mode, press either the PROG/FX
SELECT switch or the EXIT switch.
