PECIAL PAGE FUNCTIONS & MIDI
IMPLEMENTATION
Special Page Functions
Some very important features lurk inside your SansAmp PSA and aren’t acces-
s
ible through the knobs and Up and Down switches alone. They’re very impor-
tant 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.
To operate the Special Page functions, select Program 00 and press the Save
button once. The digits in the numerical display should now be flashing together.
Use the Up and Down buttons to select any of these functions:
00 Exit Special Page
01 Reserved for Future Use
02 Define MIDI Mapping
03 0-127 / 1-128 Patch Offset
04 Preset Protection Writer
05 MIDI Channel Select
06 Software Revision Number
07 Edit Pot Display Mode
08 Disengage All Pots
09 Reserved for Future Use
When you select a function, press the Save button a second time and the digits
will stop flashing. (NOTE: If you select function 00, you will exit the Special Page
function menu and return to Bypass Program 00.)

SPEAKER SIMULATION
Speaker simulation is an integral part of the SansAmp circuitry. It is de-
signed for a smooth, even response as would be achieved by a multiply-
miked cabinet, without the peaks, valleys, and notches associated with
single miking. The shape of the speaker curve will not adversely effect
or interfere with the frequency response of your own cabinet. The
speaker simulation works in tandem with the EQ controls to custom
tailor the overall sound.
If desired, you can defeat the speaker simulation by disengaging
the speaker switch (up position).
NOTE: The speaker simulation parameter (engaged or disengaged) can
be stored accordingly into the memory of each individual program.
When engaged, the Trim knob turns purple to indicate status.
REMINDER: The 1/4” Output is a TRS jack so the complete SansAmp
signal passes through the tip, while the ring connection carries the
SansAmp signal without speaker simulation. This special output is in-
tended for use with a stereo jack when recording into a digital work-
station. You can run the all-analog speaker simulated signal to the
monitors --with zero latency-- for optimal listening and record a non-
speaker simulated track. This will allow you to choose any IR/digital
speaker sim later in the mixdown process that best suits your taste.
