SWR Sound Mini-Mo' Preamp With Mo' Control 2 Master Footswitch Controller - Manual (Page 31)

To disengage any activated effect, simply step on the switch again and it will shut off. Individual
switches will not affect other individual switches. You can turn the effects on and off one at a time, or
manually turn on several effects at once. Notice that whatever you do on the Mo' Control 2, the Mini-
Mo’ LED's will reflect it. The reverse is also true. If you engage an effect manually by using the switch on
the Mini-Mo’ itself, the corresponding Mo' Control 2 LED will illuminate. In essence, the two units are
joined at the hip.
"Dual Mode" is a mode of operation on the Mini-Mo’, and acts as an individual effect on the Mo' Control
2. If you activate the Dual Mode switch on the Mo' Control 2, the Mini-Mo’ will split its signal into
"clean" and "dirty" channels and route those split signals to different sides of the power amp. (For more
information, please consult the "Dual Mode" section of this manual.) Again, think of Dual Mode as just
another individual effect as we further discuss operation of the Mo' Control 2.
BYPASS
The "Bypass" switch on the Mo' Control 2 will defeat all active Mini-Mo’ effects AT ANY TIME. When
Bypass is engaged, the red LED above the switch on Mo' Control 2 will illuminate, and the red LED on
the Mini-Mo’ marked "Internal EFX Bypass" will illuminate as well. To disengage the Bypass, simply step
on the switch again. The red LED will turn off, and whatever effects you still have on will become
audible.
You'll notice that the LED's for any activated effect will remain lit even after you activate the Bypass
function. This way you can set up whatever you want your next effect (or combination of effects) to be
while you have a clean, unaffected bass tone. Then you can disengage the Bypass and be ready to kick
in the right sound for the next section of the tune.
MUTE
When engaged, this switch will activate the Tuning Mute function on the Mini-Mo’ Preamp. The Tuning
Mute LED will illuminate on both the Mo' Control 2 and the Mini-Mo’, and every audio output but one
on the Mini-Mo’ will be muted, leaving only the Tuner Out signal present. This allows for silent tuning
without signal being sent anywhere else. In addition to the Tuner Out jack on the rear of the Mini-Mo
(for rack mounted tuners), there is a Tuner Out jack located on the rear of the Mo' Control 2 (for
pedalboard tuners), so short patching is never an issue when using a pedalboard. Both Tuner Outs
remain live when the Tuning Mute is engaged.
USING THE PRESET GROUP FUNCTION
The Mini-Mo’ was designed so that groups of effects could be used in a musical fashion, which isn't
always the case when taking a bunch of effect pedals and connecting them all together in front of your
amplifier. With the Mo' Control 2, you have the capability to program four unique groups of Mini-Mo’
effects by using the Preset Group switches. Up until now we've been in Solo Mode––that is, with none
of the group switches activated. As an example, let's program Preset Group 1.
First, turn off all of the individual effects. Now step on the switch marked "Preset Group 1." The red LED
above the number 1 should illuminate, but no individual effects should turn on. That's because Group 1
is empty; we haven't put anything in there yet. Now activate the Overdrive, the Mo' EQ and the Chorus.
To program this group of effects into Preset Group 1, step once more on the "1" switch, but this time
hold your foot down on the switch. After about one second, you should see the red LED blink. You can
now remove your foot from the "1" switch, because you've just programmed the group. It's that simple.
To check and make sure your programming was stored, step on the "1" switch again, this time in normal
fashion. The red LED above "1" should turn off, as should the Overdrive, Mo' EQ and Chorus. You've just
