Bypass
The right footswitch turns the eect on and o. Tap to toggle between bypass and eect. Press and
hold the right footswitch to turn on the eect in momentary mode - it will return to bypass when the
footswitch is released.
The Context remembers its bypass state when power is removed.
Hold down the right footswitch while plugging an expression pedal, CV cable, or remote switch into the
CTRL port to configure the port. See "Control Input" on page 19 for details.
Trails
Reverb trails can be turned on/o globally, or per preset. The right LED blinks green on startup to indi-
cate whether trails are on or o:
2 long blinks: trails o
4 short blinks: trails on
Hold down the SHIFT button and press the ON footswitch ([SHIFT]-ON) to toggle the global trails setting
on or o.
Trails can be turned on or o at the preset level using our web-based editor. By default, presets use the
global trails setting.
Holding either footswitch will indefinitely hold (freeze) the reverb signal. Releasing the footswitch will
cause the reverb signal to decay naturally.
The left footswitch freezes the current reverb sound and plays your live signal through the other reverb
engine - either the preset sound or live knob settings. Adjusting controls will aect the live reverb, while
the frozen reverb will remain the same. When the footswitch is released, the live signal will go back to
the original (held) reverb.
The right footswitch freeze mode is configurable using the web editor or MIDI:
Freeze + Live Dry The current reverb is frozen and the live signal is dry. Knob movements
aect the frozen reverb, so you can adjust modulation and EQ.
If you move the reverb algorithm knob, the live signal will switch to the
selected reverb algorithm and the frozen reverb will remain the same.
Freeze + Live Reverb The current reverb is frozen and the live signal is played through the
same reverb (using a dierent reverb engine). Knob movements will
aect the live reverb.
Infinite Sustain The current reverb is held with the input still active, causing sound to
build up.
