The BFX-708 also incorporates a sampler that allows recording for up to 6 seconds. This can

be used not only to record bass guitar sounds but also for external sources such as a CD

player. The data are stored in the memory of the unit and can be played easily using the foot

switches. A recorded phrase can also be played at half the original speed without changing

the pitch. This is convenient for example to study how a fast bass phrase played by a pro.

1 Connect the recording source to the

INPUT jack of the BFX-708.

Before making or changing any connections,

be sure to set the OUTPUT knob to the zero

position. If a cable is plugged in or unplugged

while the OUTPUT knob is turned up, shock

noise may damage the speaker.

2 To activate the sampler function, press the

SAMPLER key in play mode.

The sampler goes into the recording standby

mode and the display shows the following

information.

3 Turn parameter knob 1 to select "BP"

(BFX-708 effects are not used for

recording) or "EF" (BFX-708 effects are

used for recording).

4 Turn parameter knob 2 to select "NML"

(normal playback speed) or "SLW" (slow

playback speed at half tempo without

changing pitch).

5 Push the ▲ foot switch and start playback

of the external source (CD player or

similar) you want to record, or play the

phrase you want to record.

In this mode, the expression pedal operates as

controller for the recording level.

During recording, the display shows the

indication "RECORDING". The module LEDs on

the panel light up in sequence, to show the

elapsed time.

6 To terminate the recording, press the ▼

foot switch. Recording stops, and

playback immediately starts from the

beginning.

During playback, the indication "PLAY" is shown

on the display.

If no steps are taken after starting to record,
