Description
You use various combinations of guitar effect pedals like overdrive pedals,distortion pedals, delay pedals, music pedals, tremolo pedals, reverb pedals, chorus pedals in various songs. The Octa-Switch has nine switches, the eight are presets and the ninth is a true bypass switch, which bypass the unit for clean sound. Please note if the buffer is engaged it will also be engaged in the bypass mode, which we recommend as on large stages when running long connected cables, there is a definite drop in the high end of your guitar sound, the buffer prevent that.Carl Martin Octa-Switch MK3 Multi-Effects Looper has two external switching jacks for changing channel on your amp, or other operational features. Operation is very simple as on the two corresponding DIP switches you simply engage which of the presets 1-8 you which the amp to change channel or turn on reverb, – boost or other operational features.
Setting up the External Switches, is as easy as setting up the Banks. The two external outputs correspond to the two DIP switches above them and their Green/Red LED’s. The simplest set-up is with one amp…. plug the amp’s channel switch into the External Switch Jack 1, and select which of the eight banks require a switched channel (ie high gain) by setting the individual DIP Switches to ‘ON’. Now; when you engage Bank 6 for instance, it will automatically switch to high gain rather than having to step on another separate switch.
Please note that different amplifiers and different amplifier companies use different switching systems. If plugging straight into the Octa-Switch MK3 does not give you the desired result, we suggest you contact your local qualified amp technician and have him make the required change to your amp’s switch, so it will function with the Octa-Switch MK3. (It is impossible to have a switching system that will work with every amp on the market, but because all switching systems are similar, it should be possible to have them all work with the Octa-Switch MK3 with! For safety reasons, we do not recommend you open or attempt to service this pedal, your switches or your amplifiers unless you have the proper qualifications!)
