BANK SELECT MODE<br />
Pressing button 37 when in Preset Mode selects Bank Select Mode. The corresponding yellow LED<br />
(A, B, C, D) will blink as an indication of the active bank upon entering this mode. Buttons 38 - 41<br />
change the active bank. The LED will illuminate continuously when a bank is selected. Pressing<br />
button 37 again returns to the Preset Mode.<br />
EFX SELECT MODE<br />
Pressing button 36 selects this mode. The corresponding green LED will illuminate when this mode<br />
is selected. Buttons 37 - 41 function as follows:<br />
37 – Compressor on/off<br />
38 – Toggles between primary and secondary settings for controls 14 – 16.<br />
39 – Tweeter on/off<br />
40 – Effects on/off<br />
41 – Toggles between primary and secondary settings for effects.<br />
SETTING THE BOOST/EFFECTS LEVELS<br />
There are eight parameter knobs from Pre Gain though Effects Depth. Each one has dual settings<br />
saved with each preset. The PFC 4B footswitch lets you toggle between these primary and<br />
secondary settings when in EFX mode, as follows:<br />
BOOST - toggles all six preamp parameters: Pre Gain, Low, Mid, Shift, High, Post Gain<br />
EFFECTS ALT - toggles the effect’s Speed/Adj and Depth parameters<br />
The boost function lets you have a <strong>com</strong>pletely different preamp setting for solos, etc. Not only can<br />
you boost or cut pre and post gain, you can also dip your mids and boost your highs, etc. The dual<br />
settings for the effects mean that the PFC4B can do more than just turn them on and off. “Off” isn’t<br />
always one of the top two choices, so why lock it in? Do things like:<br />
- Have lots of phaser when the PFC4B’s Effects Alt LED is on, and just a little bit when it’s<br />
off.<br />
- Switch between low and high speeds on the flanger.<br />
- Kick in extra distortion in parallel with the dry sound to fill the mids when the guitarist<br />
solos.<br />
This setup makes for some fun preset building!<br />
SETTING AND STORING THE BOOST/EFFECTS LEVELS<br />
Here’s the easy part. Turn the boost off on the PFC4B and set your non-boost tone and level<br />
(primary settings). Turn the boost on and set your boost tone and level (secondary settings, see<br />
page 12 for sync power tip!) Then do the same for the effects. Once you have them all working the<br />
way you want, set the EFX functions on the PFC4B to how you want them when the preset is<br />
recalled (e.g. boost off, etc.), then store the preset. (You only have to do the store function once.<br />
The primary and secondary settings are all in the same preset, so you won’t lose primaries by<br />
switching to secondaries, etc.)<br />
TUNER MODE<br />
Pressing buttons 36 & 37 simultaneously selects the tuner mode. The four yellow LEDs will<br />
illuminate dimly as an indication that the Tuner Mode is active and awaiting a signal. Pressing any<br />
button will exit the Tuner Mode and return to the previous mode and preset.<br />
