4.1 Розуміння режимів

The TANK-G pedal operates in different modes, each offering unique functionalities for managing your guitar effects.

• PRESET Mode: This is the default mode upon startup. There are 9 preset groups, with each group containing 4 presets (A/B/C/D), totaling 36 presets. In PRESET mode, the tone parameter knobs are not directly editable on the unit but can be adjusted via the computer software or mobile app.
• LIVE Mode: Suitable for fine-tuning and editing preset sounds directly on the pedal. In this mode, the knob indicators will flash, indicating that you can edit the sound parameters. If you adjust a parameter, its indicator will remain steadily lit, showing that the previous tone parameter has been overwritten.
• TUNER Mode: Allows for accurate instrument tuning.
• Режим BT: Enables wireless Bluetooth connection for mobile app control and music playback.

• Overwriting Presets: To save the current preset (e.g., 4D) and overwrite it to any of the 36 presets (e.g., 3A), first select your target group (e.g., group 3). Then, long press the desired footswitch (e.g., A) to overwrite the save. A rapidly flashing footswitch indicator confirms successful saving.
