PAGE FUNCTIONS
Some very important features lurk inside your SansAmp PSA-1 and aren’t accessible through
the knobs and Up and Down switches alone. However, they’re very powerful and useful, so
take the time to check them out, especially if you are using a MIDI footcontroller or other
MIDI gear to interface with your SansAmp PSA-1.
To operate the Special Page functions, select Program 00 (zero zero) and press the Save but-
ton once. (Use a guitar pick or a pen tip.) The dots in the upper left corners of both digits in
the numerical display should now be flashing together.
Use the Up and Down keys to select any of these functions:
00 Exit Special Page
01 Custom Preset Data Dump out through the MIDI Thru/Out port
02 Define MIDI Mapping
03 Set the Loop Count for the Footswitch
04 Set Fixed/Programmable Swap Bit
05 Set MIDI Channel
06 Software Revision Number
07 MIDI Map Dump out through the MIDI Thru/Out port
08 Disengage All Pots
09 MIDI Thru Disable
When you select a function, press the Save button a second time. The dots will glow continu-
ously.
NOTE: If you select function 00, you will exit the Special Page function menu and return to
Bypass Program 00. If you select any of the other functions, here’s what they do:

All MIDI gear, including MIDI footcontrollers, signal processors, keyboards, and computers,
can be connected to the SansAmp PSA-1. The MIDI In accepts Program Change commands,
as well as MIDI Map and Program dumps. The MIDI Thru/Out jack is usually configured as a
MIDI Thru, except when data is being transmitted from the SansAmp PSA-1. Any momen-
tary-action footswitch can be used to cycle through the SansAmp PSA-1's presets, as well as
MIDI footcontrollers that include a momentary-action switch.
*Optional momentary-action factory footswitch, with LED status indicator, is available
through your local Tech 21 authorized dealer.
