Channel Memories:
CAUTION!! Pressing one of these buttons could result
in a tonal assault of epic proportions, proceed with
caution. In all seriousness though, we have preloaded
these four buttons with very popular and usable presets.
But you can also store your own presets here as well.
You can always get the factory presets back so don’t
worry, change them to your hearts content.
Saving
To store your own “snapshot” of all knob positions
(except Master Volume), press and hold one of these
four buttons for two seconds. The LED flashes twice
when the save is complete. To copy from one channel
to another, press the button for the channel you want
to copy from; now press and hold the button of the
new channel location until the LED flashes twice. But
wait, there’s more! If you would like to access more
than four presets, buy an FBV Shortboard and you can
access 36 custom delicious tones or store 36 of your
own.
Manual Mode: What You See Is What You Get
Press A, B, C or D to recall one of the 4 Channel
Memories, press that button again and the channel
light will go out and you will be in “manual mode.”
When you are in manual mode none of the Channel
Memory buttons are lit.
When LowDown is operating in Manual Mode, all of
the controls are active and the sound of the amp is
determined by the current knob settings. Just like a
regular amplifier.
Tuner Mode
Press the Tuner button and you get an instant digital
tuner. The volume is muted during tuning. Press any
button to exit Tuner Mode.
The Amp Model LEDs correspond to the following
strings on the bass guitar:
Clean = B string
R & B = E string
Rock = A string
Brit = D string
Grind = G string
Synth = C string
The Channel memory LEDs will indicate when the
string you are playing is in tune. Channel B and C
should both light GREEN when the string is in tune.
If channel A or B LED is lit AMBER then the sting
is flat. If channel C or D LED is lit AMBER then the
string is sharp.
