one switch to rule them all...or at least 2 or 3

OK...I will start by admitting to being lazy and not even searching before I post....sorry.

 

Can I hit one FS switch and turn on 2 or 3 efx?  Example..  FS1 turns on just a Comp, but FS2 turns on a Comp(same comp as fs1) & Dist & Delay, and FS3 turns on just a Delay (same delay as fs2).

 

This seems likely in my head...but....

 

thx for putting up with me not doing due diligence

    ok....follow up...I did figure out that one FS can turn on mulitple...easy...but where I want options is sometimes I just want to single out the efx used in the bunch....so can it look like this:

     

    FS1 = Comp

    FS2 = DIST

    FS3 = Delay

    FS4 = the combo of the 3 listed above

      Hi,

       

      You cannot assign more than one FS button to control the same effect. But as you stated, you can assign several effects (and the amp) to one FS button to control all of them at the same time. So, it is not possible to do what you said at this moment.

       

      Best Regards,

       

      Daf

      actually, there is a workaround if you don't mind using losing stereo output and one effects block. what you would have to do is put all three effects into line and then put a effects loop block right before it using a patch cable just go from the fx out directly to FX in and then put that on one switch so when this turns off, it turns off all of the fx right afterwards as well

        Another thing to consider is that the FS asignment operates as a toggle with respect to the assigned FX. It doesn't turn them ON or OFF depending on whether the FS is lit or not - it turns them to their opposite state. So, given the desire to operate each FX separately AND as a group, each press of a FS (whether the single or group FS controlled by the FX Loop suggestion) will turn the assigned FX ON if it was OFF, or OFF if it was ON. This may defeat the purpose even with the FX Loop idea.

         

        You can verify this by creating a preset with an FS assigned to two FX. Save the preset with one of the assigned FX ON and the other OFF. Now, pressing the FS will swap their states - not turn both ON if the FS light is on, or both OFF if the FS light is off.

    Another thing I tried - and this won't always work due to DSP limits but...I put the identical delays one is assigned to the Multi FS and one is set to its own FS and set it like this

     

    FS1 = Comp

    FS2 = Multi (Dist / Chorus / Delay)

    FS3 = Delay

     

    But again, this way will probably only work with low DSP requirements.
