loop that will be recorded each time the loop cycles in Overdub mode. In other words,
if Overdub Level is set at 80%, every time your loop cycles in Overdub mode it will
decrease in volume by 20% in relation to your live guitar. For no reduction in volume,
set Overdub Level to 100%, but be aware that hot levels may build up and distort.
EQ – your recorded loop will also be affected by the EQ settings you made in Setup
mode. If Hi Cut is set to On, your loop will play back with the high end slightly
attenuated. Conversely, if Low Cut is set to On, your loop will play back with the low
end slightly cut. Both Hi Cut and Low Cut can be active or off at the same time.
3 Play/Stop – this switch simply plays or stops your loop. When in Play mode, you
can step on Record/Overdub at any time to overdub live guitar with your recorded loop.
4 Half Speed – step on this switch while in Play mode and your loop will play back at
half speed. If you switch it again it will toggle back to normal speed. If you want to record
an overdub while your loop is playing back at half speed, simply step on the Record switch
and play. If you then switch back to normal speed, your new track will play at double
speed, while your original track will play at normal speed, as it was originally recorded.
*Tip: Double your loop time to 56 seconds by recording your loop in Half Speed mode.
5 Reverse – this switch puts your loop into reverse, so it will play backwards. You can
activate Reverse at normal speed or half speed, and you can also record an overdub while
Reverse is activated. If you do so, when you exit Reverse your newly recorded track will
play backwards, and the original track will play back normally, as it was recorded.
6 Undo/Redo – to undo your most recent take while in Overdub mode, step on
the Undo switch. Your earlier recording will remain intact. Only the last take will be
undone. Press the Undo switch again to Redo the last Overdub (new feature in v2.0).
*Note: there’s no way to archive loops in memory. Only the current loop is preserved.
7 Play Once – when you step on this switch, your loop will play once then stop.
8 Pre/Post – this switch controls whether your loop will play back pre or post the FX
in your current Scene. If toggled Pre (blue), this means your loop will not pass thru the
current FX. If toggled Post (green), your loop will play back with your Scene FX applied.
9 FX Switches – when the Looper Controls are active, the top row of C switches
will control the on/off state of the four loaded FX in your Scene. Stepping on one of these
switches will engage or bypass the Effect in that FX Unit, be it loaded in A, B or C. For
example, if your current Scene includes a Tube Drive in FX1-A, stepping on the C switch
for FX1 will toggle your Tube Drive on or off. This setup enables you to control all four of
your FX while their locations may be hidden under the Looper switches.
