applying power to the GOLDEN BOY. Press the BOOST footswitch to increment the
MIDI channel number. 

You’ll notice that as you continue to hold the DRIVE footswitch, the BOOST LED
will flash to indicate which MIDI channel you have selected. IE – 7 flashes = MIDI
Channel 7. After the LED flashes, we inserted a 2-second pause so you could tell
when the LED was finished flashing. The LED will continue flashing as long as you
are holding down the DRIVE footswitch. Once you have selected the MIDI channel
you want and have verified it by counting the flashes, simply release the DRIVE
footswitch and the pedal will save this MIDI Channel to the internal EEPROM on
the microprocessor and reboot.
