Subject:V5 pedal tones

Dave,
I'm a little confused here. My V5+ (which I thoroughly enjoy gigging with) seems to use 888 000 000 as the default pedal tone. In the manual there's no mention of how to reprogram this tone. Is it always the 7th preset? I can see how to program the lower manual by programming it with the split function and then turning split off in multitimbral mode, but how does one program a bass pedal sound to a particular pre-set?

The V5 pedal tones do go all they way down and you can set them to be
anything you'd like via a preset. The lower manual is completely
independent of the pedal tones as well.
