Learn-A-Lick Mode
Learn-A-Lick lets you record a 10 second passage of music and play it back as slow as 1/4 speed without a
change in pitch. This is useful for picking out the notes of a fast solo passage.
There are 6 functions for Learn-A-Lick including:
• Stop (Controlled by the Down Footswitch)
• Rewind (Controlled by the Up Footswitch)
• Play (Controlled by the Down Footswitch)
• Record (Controlled by the Amp A-B Footswitch)
• Playback Speed (Controlled with Select Button)
• Sampled Phrase Volume (Controlled by the Expression Pedal)
