Skipping Registers and
Creating Chains
Alex’s clear function allows you to use a
footswitch to
skip
effects you do not want in
a sequence, or to create register
chains
.
Skipping allows you to create a specific
sequence of effects. If, for example, you
want to use a series of 8 effects, simply clear
the 8 unwanted registers and turn the REG-
ISTER/PRESET knob to 1. Now, the
footswitch will increment through the regis-
ters, passing over the cleared registers with-
out requiring you to step through them.
Turning the REGISTER/PRESET knob to
any position other than 1, will set up register
chains which use cleared registers as loop
points.
Skip and chain functions are illustrated to
the left.
Registers 4, 9, 10 and 14 have been cleared...

With the REGISTER/PRESET knob set to Register 1, the footswitch will
step through the remaining registers, then loop back to Register 1.

Turning the REGISTER/PRESET knob to any position other than 1,
will set up register chains which use cleared registers as loop points.
The combination of cleared registers shown above would create these
four chains ...

If the REGISTER/PRESET knob is set to a cleared register, the footswitch will
skip to the first register in the next chain, then step through that chain.

With the REGISTER/PRESET knob
set to Register 7, the footswitch will
step through this sequence ...

(To use a chain containing Register 1, you must set the
REGISTER/PRESET knob to another register in the chain.)
If the REGISTER/PRESET knob is set to a register within a chain, the
footswitch will cycle through the chain until the next cleared register,
then loop back to the first register in the chain.
