ALESIS BassFX - Manual (Page 18)

5 Selecting Programs
18
After you’ve plugged everything in, you’ll probably want to
check out the factory presets we programmed into the
BassFX. This chapter shows you how to do that.
To Select Programs
1. Make sure the BassFX is
hooked up properly and turned
on, as outlined in chapter 3.
2. Make sure you’re in PLAY
mode (turn the EFFECT knob
to PLAY).
3. Change programs in one of
these two ways:
Foot pedals
This is the easiest way to
switch programs, especially
while playing your bass. Just
step on the left foot pedal
to decrement the program
number and the right to
increment it. You can hold
down a pedal to increment or
decrement programs continuously.
VALUE knob
You also can turn this knob to switch programs.
4. Play your bass to hear how the program affects the
sound.

The Sub-Bass Synthesis
and Octaver effects may
damage your woofers at
high levels. Be sure to
audition any program
using these effects at a
low level first. You may
not be able to hear
these effects using many
standard speaker
cabinets. For best
results, use a quality
studio setup with an
adequate subwoofer.
