A Tour of the AcoustiFX

AcoustiFX’s tuner to help indicate the pitch of a note you’re

playing, and the EDITED decimal point lights up when you

have changed the settings of the current program. You can

read more about these in chapter 6, “Editing Programs,” and

chapter 7, “Using the Tuner.”

EFFECT knob

The EFFECT knob is used for selecting effect modules,

parameters and other settings to edit. Around the knob, you’ll

see the names of sixteen different settings, including eight

effect modules (EQ is a single module made up of five

separate settings), two effect parameters (labeled PARAM)

and a program-level setting (LEVEL). The PLAY setting is

what you’ll want to be in while playing your guitar through

the AcoustiFX.

Refer to chapter 10 for descriptions of the possible values for

the EFFECT knob’s settings.

VALUE knob

In PLAY mode, this knob lets you select a program. When

you make a selection other than PLAY with the EFFECT

knob, you are in edit mode, and the VALUE knob allows you

to change the setting of the mode, parameter or global setting

you have selected. Also, you can press this knob to store

changes you have made to a program.

Foot Pedals

While in PLAY mode, the left foot pedal decrements the

program number, and the right foot pedal increments the

program number. When you press both pedals together, the

AcoustiFX goes into bypass mode, in which the audio signal

from your guitar simply passes through the AcoustiFX

without being affected. When you hold both foot pedals

down for longer then half a second, the AcoustiFX goes into

mute mode, in which no signal at all leaves the AcoustiFX.

When you are in bypass or mute mode, the tuner is activated.

While in PLAY mode, if

you press and hold the

VALUE knob for longer

than half a second, the

display will change to

the current master

volume setting (1 to 30).

Default volume is 21

(unity gain) and each

number indicates a 2dB

change from the

number above or below

it. Unlike LEVEL,

which indicates the

level of an individual

program, the master

volume is a global

setting that is

remembered each time

the unit is turned off.
