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. Use the Footswitches to select the preset you wish to edit. [. . . ] Any passive volume pedal can be used as an Expression Pedal with the PLM82. Connect the output of a passive volume pedal to the Control In jack on the PLM82. The Expression Pedal can be assigned in each preset to control the Volume, Wah, DigiTech® WhammyTM, YaYaTM, or one of several other parameters in real time with your foot. When a parameter has been assigned to the Expression Pedal, a programmable minimum and maximum value can also be assigned. [. . . ]
