Delay
The Delay on/off switch turns your Delay effects on – light on. Or off – light off.
Reverb
Bet you can guess this one already. Light on – reverb-o-rama. Light off – bone dry.
Effect On/Off Settings Stored With Programmed
Channels
OK, this part’s mostly for the people who fret about all the little details that make
other people think, “Wow, you’re way too concerned about all the little details!”
What happens if you turn some of these handy effects off and on and then you
save your setup into one of your User Channel memories? The effect on/off status
gets stored, too. Cool. Now, what happens when you decide to head over to your
friends’ house to show then how cool your Flextone is, and you jump on your bike,
and decide taking the Floor Board along is too much hassle, so you leave it behind,
pump the pedals while holding the Flextone on the handlebars with your chin,
strut into your friends’ place trying not to look like you’re out of breath, plug in
your Flextone, recall your FAVORITE setup from the handy channel select
buttons, go to play that incredibly classic-sounding Ultimate Tremolo setup that
you know is going to have your friends turning pale and quivery with envy, even if
they do think you're too concerned about all the little details, and then it hits you
– you turned the tremolo off from the Floor Board and stored the setup like that.
Feel foolish, don’t you? Let that be a lesson – never leave your Floor Board behind.
Especially when there are friends to impress. But we hate to see you suffer. So
here’s how to save your bacon: just grab the Effect Tweak ( ) knob and give it a
spin. Magically, your tremolo is back to make you a hero once again. That’s
because a particular effect’s on/off status is overridden if you tweak that effect’s
setting. So tremolo/chorus on/off comes on when you move the Effect Tweak knob
to change your Tremolo, Chorus, Flanger, or Rotary Speaker setting. Ditto if it’s
Drive or Delay or Reverb. And the opposite is true for Distortion and the EQ
bump – these are automatically switched off if you tweak something related to
them. So if you move the Drive knob ( ), the Distortion turns off. Or if you
move the Bass, Mid, or Treble knob ( ), the EQ bump turns off. But only if the
Floor Board’s not connected. See? A bunch of little details. Getting a headache,
aren’t you? The important thing is, if you save channels with effects on or off and
then you don’t have your Floor Board, no worries – we’ve made sure it doesn’t
cause you problems. That’s it for the Floor Board section. Fun, wasn’t it?
