Useful Functions

Using the Memories
You can use the memory feature to store the current settings of the knobs, in three different sets of knob configurations for each amp type.

BOSS-Dual-Cube-LX-Portable-Stereo-Guitar-Amplifier-8

Storing the Knob Settings to Memory
Here’s how to store the current knob positions to memory.

  1. Press the [MEMORY] button to select the memory where the settings are to be stored.
    Button color or state| Explanation
    ---|---
    Unlit (off)| The amp produces sound using the current knob settings.
    Green (memory 1)| The amp produces sound using the knob positions (settings) stored in memory.
    Red (memory 2)
    Orange (memory 3)

Each press of the button cycles through the memory numbers (greenÓredÓorangeÓunlitÓgreen), and the LED color changes accordingly.

  1. Turn the knob to the setting you like.
  2. Hold down the [MEMORY] button for several seconds.
    The [MEMORY] button blinks.
    Once the settings are stored, the [MEMORY] button lights up continuously.

NOTE

  • Once you store settings in a memory, any existing settings that were stored in that memory are lost.
  • The settings you store can be lost if you take the unit in for repair or due to equipment failure, incorrect operations or other such causes. To avoid the nuisance of losing your data, back up the important data you’ve stored in the unit, or write the settings down by hand. You can use the dedicated software (p. 4) or an app on your mobile device (p. 9) to back up the settings stored on this unit.

Recalling a Memory
Here’s how to recall the knob settings that are stored in memory.

  1. Turn the [AMP TYPE] knob to select the amp type.
  2. Press the [MEMORY] button to select the memory to recall.
    This changes the unit’s knob settings to the settings stored in the memory you selected.
    Note that the volume may change abruptly when switching between memories, depending on the settings stored in the memories.

MEMO

  •  If you move a knob after recalling a memory, the setting or value for that knob changes to the knob’s current position.
    Once the knob’s actual position matches the position that’s stored in memory, the [MEMORY] button immediately goes dark.

  • You can connect a footswitch (FS-5U, FS-6, FS-7; sold separately) to the FOOT SW jack to turn the memory on/off (green (memory 1) Ð unlit) (p. 5).
    You can also use the dedicated software (p. 4) or an app on your mobile device (p. 9) to switch between green (memory 1) and red (memory 2), switch between different amp types and otherwise freely customize the settings.

Using the Looper

You can use the looper by connecting a footswitch (FS-5U, FS-6, FS-7; sold separately) to the FOOT SW jack.
You can record up to 90 seconds (in mono) and play back the recorded section over and over. You can also layer additional performances with the recording as it plays back (overdubbing). This lets you create real-time backing performances on the fly.
The factory default setting is set to a maximum of 45 seconds (stereo). With the dedicated software (p. 4) or mobile device app (p. 9), you can select up to a maximum of 90 seconds (mono).
