is active whenever the Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier is first
switched ON. When a preset is selected (recalled), the amp is instantly
reconfigured to the settings saved within that preset. Presets can be
selected using the front panel DATA WHEEL (or 4–button footswitch or
by MIDI control). There are 32 preset locations (00.–31.) that are
permanent, as indicated by the decimal point in the display (Figure 1a).
There are 32 additional preset locations (32–63) that are rewritable for
your own amp and effects designs. As any preset is selected, the knob
positions usually will not reflect current amp parameter settings
(except when they match coincidentally). However, you can “capture”
control of any knob and use it to modify the sound of
the Cyber–Deluxe™ amplifier at any time.
To capture (acquire) control of a numbered level knob {C through H, K,
N, R}, simply turn it to match the stored preset value that appears in
the display as the knob is first moved (Figure 1b). An associated green
LED will come ON to indicate knob capture (Figure 1c), and the knob
position will then reflect its actual setting—and what is heard. Further
adjustments are audible, and the display updates the value in
real–time.
A pointer type knob {I, L, O, T} will capture immediately when turned.
Amp and effect types will change instantly from what is in the preset,
to what is indicated by the knob pointer. NOTE: To determine what
amp or effect type is stored within the current preset without changing
it, press and hold the EXIT button {FF} while turning the type knob until
its capture LED comes on—then release EXIT (Figure 1d).
Captured knobs (and their settings) are active temporarily. Save the
preset before selecting a different preset or switching to MANUAL MODE
(see SAVE on page 12).
