6 : PRESET CONFIGURATION
The Conguration or “Cong” page contains controls
to set up the current preset or scene. Press PAGE
once from stompbox mode to show the “CFG” tab.
Some options on the Cong Page aect the entire preset:
 How the eight eects are divided into PRE and POST chains.
 Whether each eect is in SERIES or PARALLEL with the eect before it.
 Whether True Bypass works on PRE, POST, or ALL ins and outs.
Other options on the Cong Page aect only the current scene:
 The state of Relay 1 (TIP-to-sleeve, RING-to-sleeve, or BOTH tip- and ring-to-sleeve).
 The state of Relay 2 (TIP-to-sleeve, RING-to-sleeve, or BOTH tip- and ring-to-sleeve).
 A MIDI Program Change message (number and channel) sent to MIDI OUT when the scene is loaded.
The FX8 has independent PRE and POST eect chains. This makes
it possible for the unit to work simultaneously between your
guitar and your amp, and in your amp’s eects loop.
TO EDIT THE PRE/POST CONFIGURATION:
 Press PAGE once from Stompbox Mode
to display the Cong page.
 The PRE/POST setting for the current preset is shown as
two numbers separated by a slash. Make changes with the
VALUE knob. A setting of “8/0” positions all eects as PRE.
“0/8” positions all eects as post. “4/4” provides 4 PRE eects
and 4 POST eects. The table at right shows all options.
