Useful Functions
Using the Memories
You can use the memory feature to store the current settings of the knobs, in three dierent sets of knob congurations for each amp type.
Settings are saved for these knobs
Storing the Knob Settings to Memory
Here’s how to store the current knob positions to memory.
1. Press the [MEMORY] button to select the memory where the settings are to be stored.
Each press of the button cycles through the memory numbers (greenÓredÓorangeÓunlitÓgreen), and the LED color changes accordingly.
Button color or state Explanation
Unlit (o) The amp produces sound using the current knob settings.
Green (memory 1) The amp produces sound using the knob positions (settings) stored in
memory.
Red (memory 2)
Orange (memory 3)
2. Turn the knob to the setting you like.
3. Hold down the [MEMORY] button for several seconds.
The [MEMORY] button blinks.
Once the settings are stored, the [MEMORY] button lights up continuously.
NOTE
¹Once you store settings in a memory, any existing settings that were stored in that memory are lost.
¹The settings you store can be lost if you take the unit in for repair or due to equipment failure, incorrect operations or other such causes. To
avoid the nuisance of losing your data, back up the important data you’ve stored in the unit, or write the settings down by hand. You can use the
dedicated software (p. 4) or an app on your mobile device (p. 9) to back up the settings stored on this unit.
Recalling a Memory
Here’s how to recall the knob settings that are stored in memory.
1. Turn the [AMP TYPE] knob to select the amp type.

* Note that the volume may change abruptly when switching between memories, depending on the settings stored in the memories.
MEMO
¹If you move a knob after recalling a memory, the setting or value for that knob changes to the knob’s current position.
Once the knob’s actual position matches the position that’s stored in memory, the [MEMORY] button immediately goes dark.
¹You can connect a footswitch (FS-5U, FS-6, FS-7; sold separately) to the FOOT SW jack to turn the memory on/o (green (memory 1) Ðunlit) (p. 5).
You can also use the dedicated software (p. 4) or an app on your mobile device (p. 9) to switch between green (memory 1) and red (memory 2),
switch between dierent amp types and otherwise freely customize the settings.
