Introduction The FXconnectX StagePro8 system has been designed to provide wirelessly controlled and transparent True-Bypass audio loop switching technology for pedal boards, guitar/audio racks, recording studios, or any application up to 200 feet away! “Freedom” from the board! Be anywhere on stage (or in the audience) and from your finger tips, guitars, or foot controllers you can now switch amp channels, mute your whole rig, set a tap tempo, and control your pedals connected to four programmable True-Bypa
PWR: Power On/Off switch LEARN: The Learn LED is illuminated when the L-SW (Learn Switch) is pressed and learn mode is active. MUTE: The Mute LED is illuminated when the system Soft Mute is active. Soft Mute only affects output jack 2 (The second jack); jack 1 is not muted. This enables the nonmuted output to still drive a signal chain or be used for tuning. AB: The AB LED is illuminated when the AB switch is active.
KK: The FXConnectX Proprietary Klick Killer. IN switches it into the audio chain, OUT removes it. KK is inserted following the output of L4 and prior to the Buffer. Our KK is a very unique and patent pending design which eliminates the maximum amount of switch “Click” sounds while minimally affecting the quality of the audio signal. Most times it isn’t even needed because our relays and relay circuits are so clean and quiet; but it’s here if you need it.
Ensure that only the Remote that is being learned is on and no other (bandmate’s system, etc,) FXConnectX main units or remotes are on. Press the L-SW button on the Main Unit. The learn LED’s light up indicating that the unit is now in learn mode. Press and release any button on the new Remote Unit to transmit the security code until the Learn LED turns off on the main unit. (This must be done within 5 seconds or the L-SW will need to be pressed again) Turn off the Remote Unit.
stomping on an effect to turn it on or off; the StagePro8 will now switch your effects into and out of your audio chain for you at your command. Chain together any combination of effects on any single loop. There is no limit to how many effects can be used on a loop. The same rules apply to signal integrity as if the effects were hooked up directly to an amplifier’s main input or effects loop.
Below is a picture of the Mode properly set for this example.
that the system operates the same no matter which remote sends a command and all LED’s accurately reflect the true status of the system. Mixing settings on remotes can cause unpredictable behavior and is NOT RECCOMENDED. Frequency Settings Before setting up patches and programs, you must first select a frequency for your system. If other bands member have FXConnectX systems, be sure to select different frequencies! There are two sets of switches on each remote and one on the Main Unit.
There are 2 types of FXConnectX Remotes that can be used: Body or Floor Units. All styles are powered by one 9v Alkaline Battery and contain momentary buttons to control all functions of the StagePro8 system. Both remote styles incorporate status LED’s that serves multiple purposes. The LED will flash Green to indicate that the unit is transmitting whenever a button is pressed. The LED will also show status of the battery.
Channel (Loop) Mode Selection: Toggle, Patch, or Momentary (On the Body Pack this is the 8-gang switch under the battery cover or on the rear panel of the floor units) o Toggle: Each press of the associated button will turn the channel on or off just like stomping on an effect pedal. Channels set to Toggle cannot be part of a patch. o Patch: Allows the channel to be part of a patch program.
2. Set Mode Select to Patch (Center) position (on the remote that you are programming) for channels 1, 2, 4, and AB (AB is always channel 6) 3. Press the Power button and verify that the power turns on. (Green LED will light every few seconds) 4. To enter the Patch Edit mode, hold down the power button until the Red LED turns off and the Green LED starts flashing rapidly. This takes about ten seconds. 5. Next, press the button that you want to assign the patch to. Press button 1 for Patch 1. 6.
14. Repeat the process above for all other patches to ensure that your patches are set up correctly. NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the Remote Unit off during programming and editing unless changes are made to the mode select switches. 15. Verify that all patches that have been programmed are working correctly on each remote. It is a good idea to write down your patches so that they can be easily recalled and updated. Use the tables in the back of this manual to record your settings for reference.
