A rear-panel rotary DIP switch is used to select which Midi Channel 
the amp will receive Midi messages on.
Changing the Midi Channel will briefly illuminate the STORE LED as a 
confirmation that a change has been made.

User Preset

The amp can receive Midi messages from any Midi Footcontroller. By saving different presets, or “patches”
for different Midi Program Change Numbers, you can automatically recall a saved preset by sending the 
correct Midi Program Change Number from your Midi Footcontroller. You can assign which channel and other 
functions are on or off, for each and every preset. The amp allows saving up to 256 presets, using Midi 
Program Change Numbers 1 through 128, in two banks.
• Bank 1 is the power-on default, and Midi Program Change Numbers will recall presets in this bank.
• Bank 2 is accessible using the Midi Bank Select Message, which is Midi Control Change Number CC#0.
• Sending the amp Midi Control Change Number CC#0 with a Control Value of 0 from your Midi Footcontroller, 
  will select Bank 1.
• Sending the amp Midi Control Change Number CC#0 with a Control Value of 1 (or greater) from your Midi 
  Footcontroller, will select Bank 2.
• Bank selection on the amp is semi-permanent, meaning any subsequent Midi Program Change Numbers received, 
  will recall a preset in the selected bank. For example; after selecting Bank 2, all subsequent Midi Program 
  Change Numbers will recall presets (129 through 256, which are) in Bank 2. After selecting Bank 1, all 
  subsequent Midi Program Change Numbers will recall presets (1 thru 128, which are) in Bank 1.


To save a preset for a Midi Program Change Number:

• Select the Midi Program Change Number on your Midi Footcontroller.
• Manually select the JP-2C Channel and other functions you would like on or off in the preset, using the 
  amp’s toggle switches.
• Engage the STORE SWITCH, and the STORE LED will illuminate briefly as an indication that the preset has 
  been saved.
