5.2 Using the FS-77 Footswitch
The footswitch allows you to directly access each of the four channels by depressing the
footswitch button corresponding to the channel you want to use. As you change channels the
system instantly configures the reverb, effects loop, and graphic EQ for that channel. Just set the
reverb, effects loop, and graphic EQ as you like for each channel and then when you switch back
to that channel each function will be set as you left it. The LED indicators at both the footswitch
and the front panel are constantly updated to keep you informed of the system status. You can
change any function at either the front panel or at the footswitch. Those players who use a MIDI
footswitch to control their amp may want to also use the FS-77 to have instant access to
channels and effects without making a patch change at their other gear.

Using the Effects Memory Feature
When you first power up the amp the effects are switched "ON" for all four
channels. (this can vary depending on how long the unit was off) To
demonstrate the effects memory feature of the amp try the following. Set the
reverb "ON" for channels 1 and 3 and "OFF" for channels 2 and 4 by doing the
following:
A: Select channel 1 and switch the reverb "ON".
B: Select channel 2 and switch the reverb "OFF".
C: Select channel 3 and switch the reverb "ON".
D: Select channel 4 and switch the reverb "OFF".
Now select among the channels and you'll see the reverb switches "ON"
whenever channels 1 or 3 are selected. The reverb switches "OFF" whenever
channels 2 or 4 are selected. The master effects loop and graphic EQ work the
same way as the reverb.
