To reverse looper playback, tap the button next to the Playback field and then turn the encoder.
Tip: Create eerie effects by recording layers in reverse then switching back to normal playback.
To set the looper’s location, tap the button next to the Playback field and then turn the encoder to place it
before (Pre) or after (Post) the signal chain. Moving the looper to the Pre position enables you to edit your rig
without having to play the same riff over and over again
To exit the looper and return to the main screen, press the Exit footswitch. If the looper is playing, playback
will continue.
To re-enter the looper, press the Looper footswitch again.
Tip: Use this feature to create different effect configurations (adjust parameters, activate/deactivate models, etc.)
for each layer, creating a multi-textured performance. You can also switch rigs while using the looper and use a
different rig for each layer.
