The Tone screen is your home base for playing and managing tones. Learn how to navigate, select presets, and access key features.
Screen Layout
The Tone screen is organized into four areas from top to bottom:
- Top Bar — Shows the current preset name. Tap the name to browse presets. The three-dot menu opens the Preset Action Menu. The gear icon opens Settings.
- Signal Chain — A horizontal strip showing every module in your tone (amp, effects, EQ) in processing order.
- Control Panel — Knobs, sliders, and switches for the currently selected module.
- Bottom Bar — Navigation tabs for Tone, Creator Hub, and ToneCloud.
Selecting a Preset
Tap the preset name in the top bar to open the Preset Menu — a bottom sheet showing all your presets in a two-column grid. Each card displays the preset name, tags, gain stage, and a favorite icon.
- Tap a preset to load it on your REACTOR.
- Double-tap to load it and close the menu in one step.
- Tap the heart icon on any card to toggle it as a favorite.
A small dot next to the preset name in the top bar indicates unsaved changes to the current tone.
