Ok here's the deal. "on" just turns on the effect when that channel is selected. But the "auto" option lets you configure a channel not to change the last GEQ/Reverb choice made. If you decide to use the effects like stomp boxes, ie turn on and forget, then using this feature means changing channels won't change the effects choices. And the effect footswitches override the switches at any time, of course. You get even more flexibilty.
Another way to do this is, instead of an "auto" position you could have the GEQ + reverb on/off flip switches for each channel, and a single switch which controls the overall behaviour of the pedal:
Effect selection: (auto/manual)
where:
auto = on/off switches determines GEQ/reverb selection
manual = stompbox style effects selection, on/off switches are disabled. The state of reverb/GEQ is selected via the footswitches, and is preserved when changing channels.
Hope it makes sense now. Or am I only making sense to myself?
