Selecting a factory preset

The factory presets configure the V oluum into a variety of set-ups, from traditional volume to

sonuus’ unique pedal-controlled compressor effects.

The Voluum has two modes: Preset Select mode and Preset Edit mode. By default, it is in Preset

Select mode and the display alternates between the 3-character preset name and the preset

number: either F00–F99 for factory presets 0 to 99 or P00–P99 for user presets 0 to 99.

If the display does not periodically show F/P00–99, then to enter preset mode do the following.

Once the Voluum is in Preset Select mode, select a preset using the  buttons. A single press on

either button will increment/decrement the preset number by one. If you press and hold either

button, the preset number will increment/decrement in tens.

Your Voluum is now ready to play. Select different presets and experiment with the wide variety of

sounds that are possible.

While you are playing, you may accidentally bump a switch or button which will take you into Preset

Edit mode. To prevent this, and stay in Preset Select mode, you can slide the

LOCK

switch to the

locked position. Alternatively, just re-enter Preset Select mode as described above.

Enter Preset Select mode

If the display is not showing a factory or user preset (F00–F99 or P00–P99), the Voluum is

in Preset Edit mode: exit this mode by pressing and holding the save button for 2 s.

Alternatively, slide the

LOCK

switch to the locked position (the Voluum is always in Preset

Select mode when locked).

Top Tip: Presets can also be selected using the footswitch and footpedal on the Voluum

(see “Foot-operated preset selection” on page 13) or by connecting external

footswitches (see “External footswitch connection” on page 35).

Top Tip: Envelope-controlled presets (including gate and compressor) have been

designed for an instrument with a standard output level. If your instrument has

an unusually high or low output the presets may not sound correct—either too

responsive or not responsive enough. Use the custom SEn parameter to adjust

the sensitivity of your Voluum (see page 33).
