The footswitches "ABCD" are used to save 4 user preset combinations of

Example setup:
Lets say you have connected 8 effects to the Octobus. Now you only want

In this example press A and C to activate the Loops L1 and L3. The LEDs
indicate if a loop is active or not.
5) Press Bank "-" until the letter H appears in the display. Now the
