9 Deferred Program Change

When you switch programs, the GuitarFX normally changes

immediately to the program shown on the display. However,

in some situations—especially when playing live—you may

want the ability to scroll through program numbers while

remaining in the current program setting. For example, let’s

say you’re soloing in program A3, which gives you strong

distortion and fat chorus. If you want to scroll up to program

C6 for a clean rhythm sound while you continue playing,

you’ll have to be in deferred program-change mode, which

allows you to defer a program change until you confirm it.

Here’s how:

To Defer Program Change

1. As you turn on the GuitarFX, hold down either foot

pedal. Letters will scroll by on the display, spelling the

word “deferred.”

2. While in PLAY mode, step on one of the foot pedals or

turn the VALUE knob to change the program number.

You’ll notice that the GuitarFX remains in the program

it was in before you changed the program value. Also,

the display will flash the digit that is different from the

currently selected program. For example, if you are

playing in program D5 and scroll up to program D7,

the 7 will flash. If you scroll up to F2, both digits will

flash.

3. Once the display shows the program number you desire,

step on both foot pedals at the same time

confirm the program change. The display will stop

flashing and the GuitarFX will switch to the new

program.

4. To return to normal program-change mode, turn off

the GuitarFX and turn it back on without holding

down either foot pedal.

Deferred program-

change mode is

especially useful when

you’re performing and

want to switch easily

between a rhythm

setting and a lead

setting as you continue

playing.
