Preset Mode
Adding and editing eects is all well and good, but at that point, why not just get a
bunch of separate pedals? One of the main advantages of boxes like the HX Eects
unit is the ability to store many dierent "pedalboards"—each with potentially dier-
ent eects, congurations, and settings—and recall them all with a single footswitch
press. These pedalboards are saved as presets.
The HX Eects device stores up to 32 banks of four presets (A, B, C, and D) for a total
of 128 presets.
If not already there, press MODE to select Preset mode.
Footswitches 1-6 are used for navigating banks and presets:
Bit o’ Drive
01A
Galloping Echoes
01C
Edge of Breakup
01D
Ambient Drones
01B
