6f. Assign Button - The Assign button is used to assign Programs, effect on/off functions, or parameters to the expression pedal,
footswitches, or MIDI CC’s. It is also used for viewing pedalboard assignments, or adjusting minimum/maximum
values of assigned parameters. This button will light while in the assignment menu. Making assignments is as easy as
selecting the Program or parameter that you wish to assign, pressing the assign button once, and selecting the
footswitch or pedal that you wish to use to access the Program or parameter. See page 48 for more on assigning
functions to the pedalboard.
7. Data Wheel - This rotary knob is used to scroll through Programs, adjust parameter values, or change the status of any function
currently selected in the display.
8. Expression Pedal - The Expression Pedal is used for real time control of parameters during performance. This pedal may control
volume in one Program, wah in another Program, morph between the tube and solid state preamp in another
Program, or vary the delay time in yet another Program. Individual boundaries may be set up for the minimum and
maximum parameter values that will be accessed by the Expression Pedal. See page 49 for more on making
expression pedal assignments.
