Turn amp volume down Section Two - Editing Functions Editing/Creating Presets The PLM82 is designed to make preset editing and creation easy and intuitive. When creating your own sound, you must first start with an existing preset. Note that the preset you begin with doesn't have to be in the memory location you intend to have it reside, since you can store it to any User preset location during the store procedure. The easiest way to start is by using the Tone Library and Effects Library buttons. The Tone Library button gives you access to a variety of pre-programmed amp/distortion tones (see page 37) based on different musical styles. The Effects Library button then lets you select from a palette of effects chains (see page 38), from simple delays to full multi-effect signals with modulation, delay and reverb. Use the Effects Level Button to easily increase or decrease the Chorus/FX, Delay and Reverb levels if desired. Using these three controls should get you close to a sound you are after. From there you can then use the Edit buttons to select individual Effects, and the Value Up/Down buttons to adjust their settings. If you are trying to find something different from the existing presets, begin by using the Tone Library, Effects Library, Effects Level and Value Up/Down buttons to get close to a sound you want. [. . . ] Settings are H1-H9. Delay Delay is an effect that will record a portion of the incoming signal, and then play it back a short time later. The PLM82 offers four different delay models (Analog Delay, Digital Delay, Pong Delay, and Tape Delay), each with 5 seconds of delay time available. There are two different parameters used to program the delay: Delay Variation and Delay Time. The first parameter of the delay effect is Delay Model type and Variation, which varies the amount of feedback (number of repeats) and level. [. . . ]
