LIVE & PRESET MODES
Your MAGNUS board has two operating modes—Live and Preset. You can toggle be-
tween them using the LIVE/SAVE footswitch.
LIVE MODE
In Live Mode (red light on), you can turn your 5 effects on and off independently as
if they were 5 separate pedals. Each effect has its own footswitch (1–5) and ON/OFF
light.
PRESET MODE
In Preset Mode (red light off ), you can call up one of 10 preset combinations of effects.
These are stored in 2 preset banks (5 presets in the “red” bank, and 5 presets in the
“green” bank).
MAGNUS comes with 10 pre-programmed presets (see pages 8-11), but you can pro-
gram your own.
Note that in Preset Mode, the numbered footswitches (1-5) no longer turn on/off individu-
al effects. Instead, they call up the presets stored within the selected bank.
SELECTING PRESETS
To select a preset combination of effects, hit the LIVE/SAVE footswitch to enter Preset
Mode (red light off ). Toggle the BANK footswitch to select a preset bank (red or green).
Then hit one of the numbered footswitches (1-5) to select a preset.
PROGRAMING PRESETS
To program a preset, hit the LIVE/SAVE footswitch to enter Preset Mode (red light off ).
Then toggle the BANK footswitch to select the bank (red or green) you’d like to store
your first preset under.
Next, hit one of the numbered footswitches to select the Preset you wish to program.
For example, hit footswitch 1 to program Preset 1. The light next to the footswitch 1
will come on, and you are ready to select and save a combination of effects as Preset 1.
Hold down the LIVE/SAVE footswitch for 2 seconds (until the light blinks). Then use
footswitches 1–5 to choose the combination of effects that you wish to save as Preset
1. You can see which pedals are on by the ON/OFF light next to each pedal.
To complete the save, simply hit the LIVE/SAVE footswitch again. The Preset is now
saved, and you are now back in Preset Mode. Repeat the process to program all 10
presets.
Note: Only the combinations of effects can be programmed as presets. The control settings
for individual effects are not saved.
INS AND OUTS
Hooking your guitar and amp up to MAGNUS is easy. Just plug your guitar into the
INPUT jack and your amp into the left OUTPUT jack. Use the stereo OUTPUT jacks if you
want stereo output (ideal for studio, etc).
