BANK SELECT MODE
Pressing button 37 when in Preset Mode selects Bank Select Mode. The corresponding yellow LED
(A, B, C, D) will blink as an indication of the active bank upon entering this mode. Buttons 38 - 41
change the active bank. The LED will illuminate continuously when a bank is selected. Pressing
button 37 again returns to the Preset Mode.
EFX SELECT MODE
Pressing button 36 selects this mode. The corresponding green LED will illuminate when this mode
is selected. Buttons 37 - 41 function as follows:
37 – Compressor on/off
38 – Toggles between primary and secondary settings for controls 14 – 16.
39 – Tweeter on/off
40 – Effects on/off
41 – Toggles between primary and secondary settings for effects.
SETTING THE BOOST/EFFECTS LEVELS
There are eight parameter knobs from Pre Gain though Effects Depth. Each one has dual settings
saved with each preset. The PFC ™ 4B footswitch lets you toggle between these primary and
secondary settings when in EFX mode, as follows:
BOOST - toggles all six preamp parameters: Pre Gain, Low, Mid, Shift, High, Post Gain
EFFECTS ALT - toggles the effect's Speed/Adj and Depth parameters
The boost function lets you have a completely different preamp setting for solos, etc. Not only can
you boost or cut pre and post gain, you can also dip your mids and boost your highs, etc. The dual
settings for the effects mean that the PFC4B can do more than just turn them on and off. "Off" isn't
always one of the top two choices, so why lock it in? Do things like:
- Have lots of phaser when the PFC4B's Effects Alt LED is on, and just a little bit when it's
off.
- Switch between low and high speeds on the flanger.
- Kick in extra distortion in parallel with the dry sound to fill the mids when the guitarist
solos.
This setup makes for some fun preset building!
SETTING AND STORING THE BOOST/EFFECTS LEVELS
Here's the easy part. Turn the boost off on the PFC4B and set your non-boost tone and level
(primary settings). Turn the boost on and set your boost tone and level (secondary settings, see
page 12 for sync power tip!) Then do the same for the effects. Once you have them all working the
way you want, set the EFX functions on the PFC4B to how you want them when the preset is
recalled (e.g. boost off, etc.), then store the preset. (You only have to do the store function once.
The primary and secondary settings are all in the same preset, so you won't lose primaries by
switching to secondaries, etc.)
TUNER MODE
Pressing buttons 36 & 37 simultaneously selects the tuner mode. The four yellow LEDs will
illuminate dimly as an indication that the Tuner Mode is active and awaiting a signal. Pressing any
button will exit the Tuner Mode and return to the previous mode and preset.
