The reset button has two stages. By pressing and holding the
reset button‚ all filter LEDs will begin to flash. Filters 1–8
(dynamic) will clear first as indicated by their non-lit LEDs.
Releasing the button at this point will leave the static filters
(9–16) in their current state. Continuing to hold the rest button
will clear the remaining filters 9–16 (static).

Engaging the Wide button increases the range of frequencies
that each filter affects. The LED lights when Wide is activated.
(Note: Feedbac often occurs around a range of pitches or
frequencies‚ not necessarily a single pitch. By engaging this
button‚ the Ferret widens the effective range of each filter and
subsequently uses fewer filters to accomplish the same
result.)

Panic filters are a special class of filters designed to quic ly
control sudden‚ extreme feedbac . Panic is automatically

and always set before the dynamic filters. Once these static
filters are defined‚ they loc and maintain their status until

change as input changes (i.e. volume changes‚ etc.).
