GLOBAL LOOPER LOCATION
In terms of signal ow, the Looper can be positioned in several dierent locations. It defaults to IN PRE —
before any PRE eects. You can move the looper per preset, or globally.
TO CHANGE THE GLOBAL LOOPER LOCATION...
 Press the SETUP button. Press Footswitch 1 to open the GLOBAL menu.
 Navigate to
LOOPER LOCATION. Use the VALUE knob to select the desired setting:
 IN PRE – (Default) The looper is positioned just after the IN PRE jack, before any PRE eects.
No eects are recorded, but any eects you turn on will be heard to process the looper.
 OUT PRE – The looper is positioned after PRE eects just before the OUT PRE jack.
PRE eects are recorded into the looper.
 OUT POST – The looper is positioned after POST eects just before the OUT POST jack.
PRE and POST eects are recorded into the looper.
 NO LOOPER – The looper is disabled, resulting in a slight CPU usage decrease.
Note that any individual preset can override the global setting for
LOOPER LOCATION (see below).
 If you disable the looper globally, you may wish to change the behavior of the LOOPER/
TRUEBYPASS footswitch so a single quick tap engages or disengages True Bypass.
 Press SETUP
 Press Footswitch #1 to show the
GLOBAL menu.
 Navigate to
SHOW LOOPER/ENGAGE BYPASS.
 Use the VALUE knob to change TAP/HOLD to HOLD/TAP.
TO CHANGE THE LOOPER LOCATION FOR A SINGLE PRESET...
The Looper location can also be changed per-preset, overriding the global setting. The LOCATION
parameter is on PAGE2 of the Looper edit menu. It oers the same options as the global LOOPER LOCATION
parameter (above). One additional option, “GLOBAL” causes the preset to use the GLOBAL setting for
LOOPER LOCATION. Setting a particular preset to NO LOOPER leave slightly more CPU power for other
eects.
