NOTE A1 b1 C1 d1 E1 F1 Restoring Factory Defaults Using the expression pedal (FP01/FP02) Connecting an expression pedal (FP01/FP02) to the CONTROL IN jack allows adjusting the volume or an effect parameter in real time. For information on parameters that can be adjusted with the expression pedal, please refer to pages 22 - 29. Plug the cable from the expression pedal into the CONTROL IN jack, and then plug the appropriate cable into the INPUT jack (or DC 9V jack). Select the patch in play mode, and move the expression pedal back and forth. Depending on the program content of the patch, the volume or effect parameter will change. NOTE All user-created patches will be lost when performing All Initialize. Use the [ ]/[ ] foot switches to select the patch you want to return to the original condition. The specified bank and patch number are flashing on the display. C2 During Factory Recall, the [+]/[-] keys cannot be used to switch the bank only. The settings of the specified patch are returned to the factory default condition. The unit will switch to the play mode at this point. ZOOM 506 II BASS If the foot switch or expression pedal is connected to the 506 II while the unit is powered, malfunction may occur. Be sure to plug the foot switch or expression pedal into the CONTROL IN jack first and then plug the appropriate cable into the INPUT jack (or DC 9V jack). The pedal is active also in edit mode. 18 ZOOM 506 II BASS 19 Linking Effects The patches of the 506 II consist of seven serially linked effect modules, as shown in the illustration below.
