Select Sound Banks
Select Sound Banks
Firebird X has 11 Banks (1-9, A, and B), which you select with the Gear Shift knob. Each
Bank has five patches (1-5), also called presets, that you select with the 5-way Pickup
Selector/Patch Selector. You can freely save, load, and edit patches with the included FBX
Editor software. For example, Firebird X could have 55 basic pickup patches, 55 patches
with effects, some patches with effects and some without, etc. To select a Bank:
1. Set the silver tog-pot to the middle position.
2. Rotate the Gear Shift knob to select a Bank. The knob’s color-coded readout shows the
Bank number or letter. Banks are:
Yellow Banks (pickups only)
1 = Firebird X, 2 = single-coil , 3 = humbucker, 4 = piezo (acoustic Bank)
Blue Banks (single effects)
5 = modulation, 6 = echo (delay), 7 = reverb
Red Banks (multieffects)
8 = distortion, 9 = distortion leads, A and B = multieffects sounds
