inserteffect.
3. PresstheOn/Offbuttontoturnonthemaster
effect.
Eachtimeyoupressthebutton,themastereffect
willbeswitchedon/off.WhenOff,theoutputofthe
mastereffectwillbemuted.
4. Use“Return1”and“Return2”toadjusttheoutpu

levelsofthemastereffects.
Note:Foreacheffect,theWetvalueoftheWet/Dry
parameteristheoutputlevelattheeffect.The
returnvalueismultipliedwiththis(“Return”=127
willbex1.0)todeterminetheactualoutputlevelof
themastereffect.
5. SelecttheMFX1andMFX2
pages,andsetthe
parametersforeachselectedeffectasdesired.
