SECTION 1 - FRONT PANEL CONTROLS Space Decay: Sets decay energy of the reverberation space Alt Function: Predelay Sets amount of time that elapses before the onset of reverberation Modulate: Sets overall modulation depth of the reverb algorithm Alt Function: Mod Speed Sets dominant modulation speed of the reverb algorithm Lo Frequency: Changes how low frequencies react in the reverb algorithm.

Section 3a.
When using the expression pedal, if you ever want to quickly copy the “toe up” to the “toe down” settings of the expression pedal, just unplug the cable from the Mercury7 at the EXP jack and then plug it back in. It’s a really useful shortcut so you don’t have to manually recreate your sound if all you want the expression pedal to change is just one parameter. Section 3b.
SECTION 4 - KNOB BEHAVIOR IN DEPTH Depending on the EXP Jack modes you have chosen, the Mercury7 will scan the top layer knobs and update the knobs on power up. If your Mercury7 is set to either “Expression Pedal” or “Tap Switch” for its EXP mode, then it will scan the knobs at power up. This means if you change the knobs whether the unit is off, those values will be how the pedal sounds next time you turn the pedal is on.
