PRESET SELECTOR Rotate this endless control to select one of the 16 preset effects. When the rotation stops, that preset will be loaded and become operational. The current preset 46 number is shown in the display [46]. The different presets are shown in the table below and on the silkscreen just below the stereo 45 graphic EQ [37]. Further details of each preset are explained in Appendix D on page 34. Only one 48 preset may be selected at a time.

AUX MASTERS 4 Warm Theater These knobs provide overall control over the aux mon and aux FX levels just before they are delivered 5 Warm Hall 6 Concert Hall to the aux mon and aux FX outputs [26, 27], as well as 7 Plate Reverb internal FX in the case of the FX master. These knobs go 8 Cathedral from off to +15 db when turned all the way up. 12 Tape Slap 13 Delay 1 (300ms) 14 Delay 2 (380ms) 15 Delay 3 (480ms) 16 Reverb + Delay (250ms) Auxiliary is usually the knob you turn up when the lead singer glares at you, points at his stage monitor, and sticks his thumb up in the air. (It would follow that if the singer stuck his thumb down, you'd turn the knob down, but that never happens.) 46. PRESET DISPLAY This display shows the number of the currently selected effects preset, as shown in the list of presets above. Rotate the preset selector knob [45] right or left to change a preset. 43. AUX RETURNS These three controls set the overall level of line signals received from the aux return L-R jacks [29]. These controls range from off to +15 db (to mon 1/2) and off to +10 db (to main L-R) of gain when fully clockwise, to compensate for low-level effects. A new preset will be loaded approximately 1/4 of a second after you stop turning the knob, and it will be stored into the FX memory after about one second. When the mixer is turned on, the FX section will load up the last-used preset. 47. SIG / OL LED Signals passing through these controls go directly to the main mix and monitor mix where they are combined with signals from the channels. 44. INTERNAL FX This bi-colored LED illuminates green when the signal level going into the effects processor is within a good operating range (sig). It illuminates red if the effects processor is overloaded with too strong of a signal (ol). Turn down the FX send master level [44] and check the channel sends if these light red regularly. These knobs route the effects output to mon 1, mon 2 and mains independently. Use mon 1 and mon 2 to provide effects to monitors. Slowly add effects to the monitors by turning the 'to mon 1' and 'to mon 2' knobs clockwise. Use the aux master [42] to monitor the amount sent. The FX output to the mains will be heard directly from the PA. The signals going into the processor are affected by the channel gain [9], EQ [11-15], and channel faders [23], as well as the channel FX sends [17] and the FX send master [42]. 22 ProFX16 and ProFX22
