MS-60B

Can I switch on/off every effect in a patch at once?

Yes. You can bypass the current patch by pressing and holding the foot switch. In this operation, you can choose three functions: bypass, mute (default setting) or tap tempo.

Can I switch two or more effects on/off simultaneously?

No. Only the effect shown in the display can be switched. By using Patch function, you can switch on/off every effect at once but the selected two or more effects cannot be switched on/off without the Patch function.

Can I use four instances of the same effect simultaneously?

Yes, you can. For example, you could use four delay effects with different settings to create a complex delay sound.

*Some effects cannot be used six instances at once by limitation of the size of DSP resources.

Can I change patches with foot switch?

Yes. You can change patches with foot switch while you playing the guitar. You can configure the number of patches and their order freely. For example if you set three patches as (A) Clean tone, (B) Heavy riff and (C) Lead solo, you can switch them cyclically with pressing the foot switch.
