Appendices Adjusting the expression pedal (Calibration) If you find the expression pedal difficult to use, perform this procedure so that the pedal will function optimally. For example if the effect does not reach maximum when the pedal is advanced all the way forward, or does not reach minimum when the pedal is returned all the way back, use the following procedure to make the appropriate adjustments. When making adjustments, use your hand to move the pedal. Accurate calibration may not be possible if you use your foot to operate the pedal. If you make a mistake during the calibration procedure, the LCD will indicate "ERROR, " and you will return to the screen before the adjustment (the "MIN" display). If the "ERROR" display appears for repeated attempts, a malfunction may have occurred. In this case, please contact your dealer. Restoring the user programs to the factory settings (Reload) 1.
