I MPORTANT! You may change presets while looping, but loop playback will
stop unless the preset you select includes the same type of looper block
(same 6 Switch, 1SwitchorShuingloopertype,andsamemonoorstereotype)
TIP: The Command Center - HX Looper options allow you to customize your
Stomp Mode footswitches further to easily trigger multiple looper functions for the
6 Switch or 1 Switch Loopers—see “Command Center” on page 50.
The 6 Switch or 1 Switch Loopers can also be controlled via external MIDI—see
“MIDI” on page 65.

footswitch in Stomp mode.

Switch Description
Step on to start recording a loop. Step on to end the loop and
immediately start playback. Step on to overdub additional parts. Step
on again to stop playback.
Step on to play the recorded loop once through.
If you make a mistake on your last overdub, step on UNDO to erase it.
Recording at full speed and then switching to 1/2 speed will also drop the
loop down one octave. Recording at 1/2 speed will double your looping
memory, and switching to full speed will cause the loop to play at double
speed (up an octave).
Step on REV/FWD to hear your loop backward.
