1. Preset System
SYNESTHESIA has 32 presets organized within 4 pages, where each page contains 4 banks, and each bank contains 2 patches (A & B).
A|B A|B A|B A|B A|B A|B A|B A|B A|B A|B A|B A|B
Bank‐1 Bank‐2 Bank‐3 Bank‐4 Bank‐5 Bank‐6 Bank‐7 Bank‐8 Bank‐13 Bank‐14 Bank‐15 Bank‐16
PAGE 1 PAGE 2 PAGE 4
You may set the maximum number of banks or pages to access. For example, restricting the preset access to two pages gives you
2 pages x 4 banks x 2 patches = 16 presets.
Such restriction is useful if you are not using MIDI controller for preset switching as it could get unwieldy to navigate too many
preset locations in consequential manner.
Page restriction can be set in Global Settings menu.
2. Global Settings and Options
2.1 Globals
Hold down the Y encoder until the screen reads “GLOBAL SETTINGS”.
Use the Y encoder to navigate the Globals menu.
< to leave the menu without making any changes : hold down the Y encoder again until screen returns to the main scene >
2.2 Options ( specified on per‐preset basis )
Hold down the X encoder until the pedal enters the Options menu.
Use the X encoder to navigate the Options menu.
< to leave the menu without making any changes : hold down the X encoder again until screen returns to the main scene >

3. Navigating the Presets Preset title
3.1 LOAD A PRESET
Page #
Press footswitch A/Y to load patch A, or footswitch B/X to load patch B. >>My Preset \1
TRMOLO << PHASER
Algo name (DSP‐Y) Algo name (DSP‐X)
3.2 LOAD A PRESET IN ANOTHER BANK
Select the desired bank.
Press footswitch A/Y to load patch A, or footswitch B/X to load patch B.
There are 2 ways to select a bank :
Method 1 : Press footswitch A/Y and B/X simultaneously (do not hold).
Method 2 : Twist the X encoder (clockwise for Bank‐Up or anti‐clockwise for Bank‐Down).
Patch A title A>>Horizon /
Patch B title B>>Shiverhowl 2 Page #
< The display will show the titles of both patch A and patch B that were stored in the bank >
3.3 SAVE PRESET
Hold down X and Y encoders until a prompt appears on the screen. where to save?
A <push> B
< At this point, If you’d like to cancel saving to a preset : hold down the X and Y encoders again >
Push footswitch A to save to patch A, or push footswitch B to save to patch B
After preset is saved, the preset’s title can be changed in Options ( Options ‐> Title Editor )
3.4 BYPASS THE PEDAL
Tap footswitch A/Y or B/X, whichever preset is currently active (corresponding LED is on).
4. Navigating the Algorithms
Turn the X Encoder to select an algorithm to on DSP‐X, and turn the Y Encoder to select an algorithm to run on DSP‐Y.
Push the X Encoder to toggle DSP‐X on and off, similiarly, push the Y Encoder to toggle DSP‐Y on and off.
Algo # 02.Harmonic Trem Algo long name
HCTREM 6‐letter algo short name
5. Master Volume
A single control is provided to set the overall volume of the pedal, from ‐3dB to +3dB. VOLUME (dB) +2
Twist the Y encoder, clockwise to increase volume, anti‐clockwise to reduce volume. PREV:+1
Master volume is specified on per‐preset basis.
