One nice feature of these things is that they don't have a delete 
button per se. Once you've saved something, which is usually a two-
step process, you can't lose it by doing something wrong, only by 
saving something else in its place. I have yet to hear of anyone 
losing settings because of an electrical spike, but it is a good idea 
to run a module through a surge protector just to make sure. On rare 
occasions, however, people have had to perform a factory reset to 
undo a a hidden programming glitch or bug that has damaged kit 
response, frozen a MIDI function, etc., in which case all of their 
user-selected kits fall by the wayside unless they have been saved to 
their PCs or another MIDI device. Just to offer some comfort, I, like 
many others, have never had to reset, even after many years and three 
modules' worth of tweaking and experimenting way beyond anything 
suggested by the factory. But comforting numbers mean nothing if 
something weird happens to you.
