The current Preset is indicated on the Preset LED Ladder. When a Preset is modied the Preset LED blinks once.
Perform and Preset Modes
Press and hold Vibe Footswitch to toggle between

Preset Mode: Vibe Footswitch selects Preset 1–5, and
Drive Footswitch controls Pedal Active/Bypass.
Catch Up Knob Function
When loading a new Preset, knob positions will not
align with their current parameter values. As a result,
turning a knob will likely cause an audibly abrupt
change. With Catch Up enabled, the sound does not
change until the Knob is moved to the position of the
current value.
See “System Setup” on how to enable Catch Up.
