Page 22: Section 3 - Guided Example Creating A Preset
Creating a Preset Creating a preset on the Marquis JM60/JM120 is very simple. All that you need to do is select an amp model, and then fine tune the basic amp sound with the amp controls. Then choose the effects to add to that sound, and fine tune those effects to your taste. The final step is to store the new sound to a user preset of your choice. - Page 23 2. Use the Depth knob to set the intensity of the phaser. Since we want a medium phaser setting, this should be set to 3 or 4. 3. Use the speed knob to adjust how fast the phaser will sweep back and forth. Try setting this to 3. 4.

Page 24: Section 4 - Other Functions Manual Mode
Manual Mode While in performance mode, the presets of the Marquis JM60/JM120 will relate to the values of the knobs at the time the presets were stored. The current position of the knobs will not reflect the value that you are hearing. The knobs must be turned at least one whole number before the JM60/JM120 will update to the position of the knob. -
