The Grand Canyon’s two footswitches have different functions depending
on the current mode. The red labels describe the Delay-specific functions
of the footswitches, while the orange labels describe the looper-specific
functions. The chart below lists which functions are active in each mode:

TAP/LOOP
BYPASS/STOP

Delay Mode Footswitch Functions
TAP/LOOP – While in Delay mode, press and release the TAP/LOOP
footswitch two or more times to set the delay time with your foot. The
tap time and the current TAP DIV setting determine the actual delay
time. After tapping in a delay time, you may cycle through the TAP DIV
settings to find the desired delay timing.
Press and Hold TAP/LOOP to ramp up to the maximum feedback setting.
Release TAP/LOOP to ramp back down to the current feedback setting.
BYPASS/STOP – The BYPASS footswitch works like a standard latching
footswitch when the MOMENT button is not lit: press and release to
toggle between bypass and effect modes. When the orange LED in
Grand Canyon graphic is lit, the unit is in effect mode.
If the MOMENT button is lit, then the Grand Canyon is normally in bypass
mode unless you press and hold the BYPASS footswitch, at which point
it goes into effect mode. Release the BYPASS footswitch and it returns
to bypass mode.
Delay+Looper Mode Footswitch Functions
TAP/LOOP – The TAP/LOOP footswitch controls many of the looper’s
basic functions such as record, play, overdub, undo, redo, stop and
erase. See the chart on page 14 describing how to control the looper.
Bypass/Stop – In Delay+Looper mode, the BYPASS/STOP footswitch
can also be used for tap tempo, in addition to the bypass functions listed
above. Tap the BYPASS/STOP footswitch to set the tempo in
Delay+Looper mode. This feature can also be disabled if desired. See
page 30 for more details on tap tempo with this footswitch.
