“If you only need to access your two favorite sounds in performance, tapping the A/B footswitch will toggle between them quickly. If you would like to access more presets with this footswitch, hold it to enter Preset Select mode. Now, pressing the A/B button cycles forward through the five “A” preset settings or “B” preset settings, depending on whether an A or B was loaded when you held the footswitch.”

Of the 10 presets, only five are available at any one time. they go
1A and 1B
2A and 2B
3A and 3B
4A and 4B
5A and 5B
You can cycle through the "A"s easily enough and Cycle through the "B"s easily enough, but if you wanted to go from 3A to 4B, you have to change the numbered preset and the lettered (They call it "bank") with separate presses of your foot. Distracting when on stage.
You can increase (or decrease, to allow cycling through the presets faster) from the factory default of 5. You can set the number of presets from between 3 and 10. (If you wanted only two presets in a bank, what would be the point? You can do that by the bank switching easily enough). (Page 19 of the full user's manual)
Once you are set up with all the presets selected for your songs, (and put that information on the lead sheets if you use them), you are all set for your performing.
