Using the Faze

Reset Mod

Press this button to reset the phase of the phaser modulation

source as follows:

• In TRIANGLE mode, press [RESET MOD] to start the wave

from the beginning of its phase.

The “starting point” of the phase shift is determined by the setting of the

[CENTER] control

• In PATTERN mode press this button to generate a new 16-

step pattern.

Bypass

This button sends the signal directly from the input to the output

without any effect. Press [BYPASS] to check the sound of the

source without any effect from the Faze. When the red BYPASS

LED is lit, phasing is turned off. The Bypass function can also by

activated by the foot switch.

Since the Faze is a digital effect, signal always passes through the

digital A/D–D/A conversion process, so that digital signal will

flow through to other effects in a ModLink chain even when

[BYPASS] is on. So, unlike old analog effects, this is not a

“hardwire” bypass switch—the Faze must be powered on to pass

signal through, even in bypass mode. Similarly, the [TRIM]

control is always active, since it’s an analog control regulating the

level feeding the analog-to-digital converters.

Using the Foot Switch

If you need to bypass the effect but your hands aren’t free, simply

connect any momentary footswitch (such as those used for

keyboard sustain pedals, either NC normally closed or NO

normally open) to the [FOOT SWITCH] jack on the rear panel.

The footswitch will turn the BYPASS LED on and off.
