Keystone Pedals LED Color Guide

Every Keystone Musical Instruments pedal has its own signature LED color, shown when the effect is on or when FS2 is pressed. A shared set of universal colors tells you when a Keystone pedal is in a setup mode, synced, saving or clearing.

Kuttor scale selection

Kuttor's scale menu shows each of its 10 scales as a unique pair of LED colors.

  1. From idle, hold FS1 (right footswitch) for about a second. Both LEDs breathe together to show the menu is open.
  2. Keep holding FS1 and turn POT 4 to browse. The LEDs stay dim until the knob passes its current setting, then brighten and follow your choice.
  3. Release FS1 to save. LED 2 flashes green to confirm.
