LIVE & PRESET MODES
Your SOULMATE board has two operating modes—Live and Preset. You can toggle
between them using the LIVE/SAVE footswitch.
LIVE MODE
In LIVE MODE (red light on), you can turn your 5 pedals on and off independently as 5
separate pedals. Each pedal has its own footswitch (1–5) and ON/OFF light.
PRESET MODE
In PRESTE MODE, your SOULMATE lets you program and save up to 10 preset com-
binations of effects in 2 preset banks (5 in the “red” bank and 5 in the “green”). This is
done using the LIVE/SAVE, BANK and 1–5 footswitches.
Programing and using presets
To program a preset, hit the LIVE/SAVE footswitch to enter Preset mode (red light
off). Now toggle the BANK footswitch to select the bank (red or green) you’d like to
store your first preset under. Let’s try the “green” bank, which gives you access to your
first 5 presets.
Now hit one of the numbered footswitches—let’s say footswitch 1—to start program-
ming your first preset. The light next to the footswitch will come on, and you are ready
to select and save the effects for Preset 1.
Note that footswitch 1 no longer turns on your first pedal (OVERDRIVE), but only
selects the preset you will program.
To select and save the effects you’d like to combine under Preset 1, hold down the
LIVE/SAVE footswitch for 2 seconds (until the light blinks). Then use footswitches 1–5
to choose the pedals want to combine. You can see which pedals are on by the ON/
OFF light next to each pedal.
Note that, with SAVE enabled, your footswitches stop selecting presets and go back to
turning pedals on and off—the pedals you will store in your preset.
To complete the save, simply hit the LIVE/SAVE footswitch again, and you will return
to Preset mode with your first preset programed. To program all 10 presets, repeat the
process for the remaining 4 “green” presets and the 5 “red” ones.
INS AND OUTS
Hooking your guitar and amp up to SOULMATE is easy. Just plug your guitar into the
INPUT jack and your amp into the left OUTPUT jack. Use the stereo OUTPUT jacks if
you want stereo output, for instance in the studio.
SOULMATE also comes with LOOP SEND and RETURN jacks that let you expand your
board with other pedals. The LOOP point is optimally positioned between the DISTOR-
TION and the DELAY in SOULMATE’s chain of effects.
