Operate the controls in the input/preamp section and the effect section as required, to adjust the distortion, tone, volume, effect type and intensity, etc. It is also possible to modify a patch after it was loaded. When a knob or key was operated, a dot appears at the bottom right of the display. (When you return to the original settings, the dot disappears. ) 4 H INT Lit You can store the contents of a changed user patch by pressing the [STORE] key.
