Troubleshooting Q: A: The TimeBenderTM isn't doing what the controls say it should be doing. You might have a memory location selected, which means the TimeBender has loaded the settings stored to that memory location (regardless of what the knobs and LEDs currently show). Also, if you have an expression pedal plugged in, the expression pedal will morph between its settings for the heel position and toe position. [. . . ]
