The sustain layers can be activated either in response to attack, when the strings are played, or via a footswitch. Modulation, delay, and octaver add further sonic possibilities to this pedal.\u0026lt;\/h1\u0026gt;\u0026lt;h2\u0026gt;OVERVIEW OF THE MXR M307 LAYERS\u0026lt;\/h2\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u0026gt;The \u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;MXR Layers\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt; is a three-layer sustain pedal, each with its own status LED to indicate when it's active. You can choose to manage just one layer or up to 3: pressing the \u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;SINGLE\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt; button will activate only one sustain layer. The layers can be activated either with the footswitch or through dynamics, by playing the instrument's strings. Using the footswitch, simply play a note or chord and hold down the switch; releasing it, the layer dissolves according to the setting of the \u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;DECAY\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt; knob. This mode is perfect for creating \"drone\" style pads over which to play. Alternatively, you can automatically activate the layer in response to the attack, as set by the \u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;TRIG\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt; knob. Combining these two methods can achieve a complex layering of sounds: with SINGLE mode deactivated, you can sustain a layer with the footswitch and then automatically trigger other layers on top of it.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u0026gt;The \u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;MIX\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt; knob adjusts the effect level, thus the volume of the layers. The \u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;TRIG\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt; knob sets the sensitivity of the pedal's auto-trigger function, allowing new layers to be generated based on playing intensity. The \u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;ATTACK\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt; knob adjusts the fade-in time of each layer, while the \u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;DECAY\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt; knob sets the fade-out time, which mimics the natural vibrations of a physical string by decaying high frequencies first. For a fatter sound, activate the \u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;SUB OCT\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt; switch to lower one or more layers by an octave.\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;center\u0026gt;\u0026lt;iframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"630\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-39Qxt4ldT4\" title=\"MXR | M307 Layers\" width=\"1200\"\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/iframe\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br \/\u0026gt;\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;\/center\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u0026gt;Through the pedal's programming functions, other parameters can be adjusted, including modulation intensity, delay time, diffusion, and more.

First, set the switch to the TAP\/EXP position (left). Then, connect an instrument cable from the pedal or external switch to the CTR jack of the MXR Layers.
