@ INPUT LEVEL Control
This control should be used in conjunction with the INPUT
LEVEL meter (see below) to set the optimum input level for
the source used.
© INPUT LEVEL Meter
The input level meter consists of seven LEDs corresponding
to -30 dB. -20 dB, -15 dB, -10 dB -6 dB, -3 dB and 0 dB
input level. When the source (guitar or other) is connected
to the GEPSO’s inputs, it should be played at the loudest
level it will be played during actual use and the INPUT
LEVEL control adjusted so that the maximum reading is
about -3 dB.
o LED MEMORY Number Display
This 2-digit numeric display shows the number of the cur­
rently selected memory location (1 — 00). When the LED
display is continuously lit the effect corresponding to the
number displayed is active. When the LED display is flash­
ing, this indicates that a new memory location has been
selected but has not yet been recalled, leaving the previ­
ously selected effect active.
e LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
This 16-character x 2-line liquid crystal display panel nor­
mally displays the title of the selected effect on the top line
and a seiected parameter and its value on the bottom line.
One or both lines may also be used to display error mes­
sages or warnings.

COMPARE button again to return to the edited parameter
vaiue.
