Autosave
Whether you’re in Momentary Scene mode or Latch Scene mode, your choice of Autosave
or Manual Save is an important one. In Autosave, any change you make to your Scene is
saved automatically. This includes not only the on or off state of the individual FX while
your scene is loaded, but also the configuration of the Scene itself.
Let’s load a Factory Scene and see what happens in Autosave mode. Make sure you’re
in Autosave and Momentary mode first, so you can access the individual FX. To double-
check, press and hold the Looper Controls switch for a few seconds, to enter Setup mode.
Look at LCD 3 under ‘Scenes’ and see if
AUTOSAVE
and
MOMEN SCENE
are assigned. If you see
MNL SAVE
and
LATCH SCENE
, change them with Knob 2 and Knob 4.
Now press the Scenes switch and you’ll see all 12 Scene names displayed. Choose Scene
2A, Bridge Of Vibes. Notice the four A switches are lit. That’s because the loaded FX,
which are displayed in the LCDs, are loaded in the A locations of all 4 FX Units. You
should see U-Vibe, Tube Drive, Plate and Ping Pong displayed.
Play your guitar for a minute on the neck pickup. You’ll hear a Robin Trower/Hendrix
type of sound. Step on all 4 C switches now. You’ll see Facial Fuzz, Analog Flange, Rotary
Drum and Tape Echo. It’s a very different sound. Now step on the Scenes switch and
select 1C Swamp Thing. You’ll see 3 LCDs lit, because FX Unit 2 is bypassed. Step on
the Scenes switch again and go back to 2A, Bridge Of Vibes. It’s lost its Trower U-Vibe
sound. That’s because Autosave has saved your changes. Notice all the C switches are lit.
Manual Save
To see how Manual Save differs from Autosave, let’s do a Factory Reset and start over.
If you have any special Scenes saved, you can defer this exercise until you back up your
Scenes to computer. Read all about it in Chapter 2, Page 5. Assuming you’re okay to do
a reset, press and hold the Looper Controls switch to enter Setup mode again. This time
turn the Model Select Knob under LCD 4 to select
RST FACT?
and press down on the knob.
Press again to initiate the reset. After it resets, select
MNL SAVE
under LCD 3.
Now repeat the same steps you did before. Press the Scene switch, select Scene 2A, then
switch on all the C switches to change the sound of Bridge Of Vibes. Step on the Scenes
switch again, select Scene 1C, then step on the Scenes switch and select 2A again. Play
your guitar. Notice all the A switches are lit this time. Scene 2A did not retain the
changes you made. This can be a good thing, especially if you want to return to the exact
same sound you originally programmed. In Manual Save mode, every time you select a
Scene, it will be recalled exactly the same way, even if you make temporary changes to it.
