Frequently Asked Questions
Direct Mode essentially bypasses the loop switcher entirely, sending your signal straight from input to output, useful for quickly engaging/disengaging your amp without affecting your pedals.
Yes, the programming lock switch is quite reliable; it prevents inadvertent adjustments during performance, though it's still a good idea to double-check it before taking the stage.
Absolutely, the separate loop is designed to function as an amp footswitch using either normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) configurations, giving you that crucial amp control.
