8.52. GMUTEO -- Mute All Outputs
The name of this command is an abbreviation of "Global Mute Outputs." Enabling this option causes 
all of the physical outputs to be muted (outputs 1, A, B) . This muting is independent of the normal 
output mute command, 
MUTEO. This command is provided so that the control program can implement 
a "saftey mute" feature. The idea is that if the user accidentally misconfigures the Vortex and 
feedback begins to occur, they can press the saftey mute to instantly mute all outputs before they 
damage their equipment or ears. 
This command is a boolean command. See 
Section 6.1 for more information on this type of 
command. 
This command is saved to non-volatile memory only as part of a preset. The state of this command 
will be restored after power-up only if a preset is saved and that preset is set to be the power-on 
preset.
