Add it to your rig
- Open the item and read its description, controls, and any price shown.
- Get or purchase it if it is not already in your library.
- Add it to the Pedalboard and install it to the connected device when prompted.
- Wait for installation to finish, then test it at a comfortable listening level.
A disabled item or missing effect
Check for a firmware-update message, a CPU limit, or a pending download. The latest app distinguishes these conditions. See installing effects and CPU usage.
