About the J-Station
The Presets
Presets are numbered locations of programmed sounds which reside in the J-Station. Presets can be recalled
with the Data knob.The J-Station comes with 30 Factory and 30 User Presets available.The Factory Presets
will not allow you to store any changes to them.The User Presets are locations where your creations may
be stored. From the factory, the 30 User Presets are exact duplicates of the 30 Factory Presets.This allows
you to make your own Presets without the worry of losing any of the sounds that the J-Station came with.
When you first turn your J-Station on, it will default to the last preset that had been selected.When you
select a Preset, the number of the Preset will be shown in the Display. An LED in the right corner of the
Display indicates whether you are in a User Preset or a Factory Preset.
To select a preset, simply rotate the Data knob located in the center of the front panel.The numeric display
will change with each click of the Data knob to indicate the current preset.The Presets are arranged in 10
User Banks and 10 Factory Banks with 3 Presets in each Bank.The left number in the Display indicates the
Bank and the right number indicates the Preset.
After selecting a Preset, all Parameter values will relate to the values of the knobs at the time the Preset was
stored.The current position of the knobs will not reflect the values that you are hearing.The knobs must be
turned at least one whole number before the J-Station will update the Parameter value to the position of the
knob.
Bypass Mode
The J-Station does not have a total bypass function. Some effects can be bypassed, other effects can in
essence be bypassed by turning the level down, but the Amp Modeling will always be active.
Edit Mode
The J-Station allows you to customize Presets to suit your particular needs and applications.Editing functions
allow you to replace, or modify several aspects of the effects which make up the Preset.When a Preset is
selected on the J-Station, the settings which were stored to that particular Preset will be recalled.There are 2
different levels of Edit Mode:Top Level and Deep Level. Top Level editing provides quick access to commonly
adjusted Parameters. Deep Level edit mode provides access to all Parameters. Pressing any buttons (except
Tuner or Store), or turning any knobs will access the Top Level Edit Mode. Pressing and holding the Shift
button will access the Deep Level Edit Mode. Editing functions are also accomplished through the use of a
computer and the J-Station Editor/Librarian software. No edits will be stored to the Preset unless the Store
function is performed. See page 9 for more information on editing functions.
