ˍG G Changeable loop order per each preset.
ˍG G 3 buffers. Input buffer, Output buffer and Movable buffer.
Movable buffer can be placed anywhere in your signal path.
Each buffer can be enabled/disabled by IA switch or as parts of a preset.
ˍG G 2 internal unity mixers. each mixer has 3 input(2 Effects and Dry signal).
Mixers also are used for spillover between presets, even with your analog delay or reverb.
ˍG G 4 function switches via 2 TRS jacks. You can control the switching functions of your amp.
ˍG G 360 presets (60 banks x 6 presets) and 1 global preset.
ˍG G Create up to 99 songs
ˍG G Organize the 99 Songs into 40 sets of 40 songs
ˍG G Click-Less(Mute) function for reducing popping noise
ˍG G ISO IN and ISO OUT that prevent to occur ground hum noise and phase issue.
ˍG G Transmits 8 MIDI Program Change and 8 MIDI Control Change messages.
Each MIDI message can be stored differently in each preset.
ˍG G Transmits 25 MIDI Control Change message by assigned IA switches.
ˍG G Transmits MIDI Timing Clock and synchronizes with Function Switch3.
Tap tempo for both MIDI-compatible pedals and any pedals that have external tap input jacks.
BPM can be stored in each bank preset and song preset.
ˍG G Easily copy presets, banks, songs and sets
ˍG G 2 Lines x 24 Characters LCD display that can display preset/song titles and other status.

1 through 5 switches
When in Preset mode these switches are used to recall the corresponding preset. When in IA1, IA2 or IA3
mode pressing these switch turn on/off the corresponding effect loop, function switches, ouputs and
buffers.
6/TAP switch
This Switch can have two functions based upon your needs. By default, this button is set up to access
the Preset 6, You can also program this switch to TAP TEMPO. Refer to the Activate/Deactivate TAP
Switch on the page 8 of the manual.
BANKG & BANK
The 360 presets in the EFX MK-V are arranged in banks of 6, and these buttons allow you to select which
bank of 6 you’d like to access. Pressing this switch in Preset mode decrements/increments the bank
number.
IA1/SETUP
Pressing this switch puts the EFX MK-V into the IA1 mode, where you can turn individual loops on and off,
and store their settings to presets. For the other side, pressing this switch for 2 seconds puts the EFX
MK-V into the SETUP mode.
IA2/MUTE
Pressing this switch puts the EFX MK-V into the IA2 mode, where you can turn on function switches,
buffers, and outputs. For the other side, pressing this switch for 1 seconds mutes the audio signal.

1.5 Rear Panel
IN Jack
This is the main input jack where your guitar plugs in.
SND 1-7, RTN 1-7 Jacks
These jacks provide mono-send mono-return effect loops. SND 1ˀ7 send signals to effect pedals. RTN 1ˀ7
receive signals from effect pedals. Connect the SND 1ˀ7 jacks to the INPUT jack of each effect pedal, and
connect the OUTPUT jack of each effect pedal to the RTN 1ˀ7jacks.
SND 8, RTN 8S Jacks
These jacks provide a mono-send stereo-return effect loop. RTN 8S jack is stereo capable using TRS
connectors. If the last stage of the chain is the stereo-send effect loop or the output, the signal is output
in stereo. If the last effect loop in the chain is the mono-send effect loop, only the signal received at the
tip conductor of the RTN 8S jack is output.
SND 9S, RTN 9S Jacks
These jacks provide a stereo-send stereo-return effect loop. These jacks are stereo capable using TRS
connectors. If the last stage of the chain is the stereo-send effect loop or the output, the signal is output
in stereo. If the last effect loop in the chain is the mono-send effect loop, only the signal received at the
tip conductor of the RTN 9S jack is output.
SND VL, RTN VL Jacks
These jacks are for connecting a volume pedal. You can also use these jacks as send/return for a preamp.
OUT-L, OUT-R Jacks
These are the output jacks. OUT-L and OUT-R can be turned on/off independently. If the last stage of the
chain is the mono output, the OUT-L signal is split up in to the OUT-R.
TUNER Jacks
This jack is for connecting an external tuner.
F1/F2, F3/F4 Jacks
Latch or momentary function switch jacks for amplifier channel switching or on/off controlling of reverbs.
TRS plug’s Tip: F1 & F3
TRS plug’s Ring: F2 & F4
TRS plug’s Sleeve: Common ground for F1/F2 and F3/F4
ISO-IN, ISO-OUT Jacks and ISO PHASE switch
There is an isolation transformer between ISO-IN and ISO-OUT jacks. The isolation transformer may help
reduce hum that can occur when using two amps or 4CM. If ISO-IN and ISO-OUT are used, ISO-OUT can
also be inverted the phase of ISO-IN by pressing the ISO OUT PHASE switch.
MIDI IN, MIDI OUT/THRU connector
MIDI IN connector receives MIDI signals from an external MIDI device. MIDI OUT/THRU connector is used
to feed MIDI signals to external MIDI devices. When the operation mode of MIDI OUT/THRU has been set
to 'THRU', MIDI signals received at MIDI IN pass through the EFX MK-V without any changes.
DC12V power connector
This is the main power input for the EFX MK-V. The EFX MK-V requires a DC12V supply. The current draw
is approximately 300mA at DC12V (Center Negative).
