Introduction

Parameters
A parameter is a control that changes the characteristics
of an effect. When we use the word “parameter,” we are
referring to the “direct control” parameter available to
the DIST, FX1, FX2 and FX3 modules. DIST’s
parameter is called DRIVE, and the parameters for FX1,
FX2 and FX3 are labeled PARAM. The characteristic
controlled by a parameter varies from effect to effect.
Programs
A program is a combination of effect
modules and their respective settings.
In PLAY mode, you have quick access
to the Wildfire’s eighty programs via the
Program Up and Down buttons, optional
footswitches and the VALUE knob. The
programs are divided up into banks A – H and are
identified by a bank letter and a program number on the
display.
Playing in Stereo
The Wildfire outdoes most other guitar amplifiers by
providing stereo output instead of the standard mono.
We strongly encourage you to take advantage of the
wonderful benefit this provides for your sound, because
many of the Wildfire’s excellent effects will sound even
better when you listen to them in stereo. See chapter 9
for instructions on how to connect a second amplifier to
the Wildfire using the STEREO LINK OUTPUT. If
you don’t have a second amplifier, you can immediately
enjoy the stereo effects simply by listening with
headphones.
