– CONTROLS and INDICATORS – LEVEL Knob – Controls the output level of the Loop being played. Your dry signal remains at unity signal level from input to output. The dry signal also remains analog throughout the 720. LOOP Footswitch – Use the LOOP footswitch to record, overdub, and playback loops. The LOOP footswitch can also be used to stop and undo-redo loops. See the QUICK START GUIDE on page 5 to learn how to use this footswitch to create loops.

REVERSE Button – Press the REVERSE button to play the loop in reverse. The REVERSE button glows red when enabled. Reverse can be used at any time to playback or overdub a loop. ½ SPEED Button – Pressing the ½ SPEED button causes the pitch of the loop to go down one octave and the tempo is halved. If a loop is overdubbed during half-speed mode, returning to normal speed playback causes the pitch of the overdub to go up one octave and the tempo is doubled. The ½ SPEED button glows red when enabled.
