MS-3 Example Settings (Functions)
Switching Channels of an Amp When You Switch Patches
Here we explain settings that switch channels on an amp that is connected to the MS-3’s CTL OUT CTL 1/2 jack.
* Check the specications of the amp you’re using.
This explanation uses the example of an amp that works with latch-type operation.
(CTL OUT10OFF: CLEAN CH, ON: DRIVE CH, CTL OUT20OFF: REVERB OFF, ON: REVERB ON)
1. Press the [MENU] button. In the MENU screen, choose “CTLOUT” with the [1]–[3] knobs, and press the [ENTER] button.
2. Use the [1] knob to set 1 MODE and the [2] knob to set2 MODE to “LAT.”
3. Press the [EXIT] button two times to return to the play screen.
4. Press the [EDIT] button. In the eect chain screen, choose “OUTPUT” with the [1] knob, and press the [ENTER] button.
5. Use the [2] knob to set CTLOUT1 to “ON.”
6. Press the [EXIT] button and [ENTER] button simultaneously, then execute the Write operation.
* If you switch patches without performing the Write operation, your edits are discarded.
With the above settings, the amp switches to its DRIVE CH when you recall a patch. In the same way, turning CTLOUT2 “ON” switches REVERB
“ON.” For details, please refer to “Parameter Guide” (PDF).
Switching Amps When You Switch Patches (When Using Two Amps)
Here we explain how to connect dierent amps to the OUTPUT L/MONO jack and the OUTPUT R jack, and switch the output destination of the
sound to use dierent amps when you switch patches.
Example
Outputting only to the amp connected to the OUTPUT L/MONO jack
1. Press the [EDIT] button. In the eect chain screen, choose “OUTPUT” with the [1] knob, and press the [ENTER] button.
2. Use the [1] knob to set OUTSEL. to “L.”
3. Press the [EXIT] button and [ENTER] button simultaneously, then execute the Write operation.
* If you switch patches without performing the Write operation, your edits are discarded.
With the above settings, when this patch is recalled, the sound is output only to the amp that’s connected to OUTPUT L. For details, please refer
to “Parameter Guide” (PDF).
