FBV MkII expression pedal does not work in "Volume" position

[kurt_bremser]

I recently switched from the Pod xt / FBV Shortboard to the new HD / mkII combination.

I have tried to program sounds with combined wah/volume on the EXP1 and noticed that when I step down on the toe switch and the LED changes from "WAH" to "VOLUME", the pedal stops working and stays (electronically) in 100% down. Note that that happens with the volume pedal assigned to FS8 and no effect assigned to the exp toe switch at all.

It seems that the switch to the "volume" mode on the FBV disables the pedal.

Is that wanted, or does the FBV have a peculiar malfunction?

Try these settings in your Pod HD preset:

 

- Wah assigned to EXP1

- Vol assigned to EXP2

- use Toe Switch to turn both Wah and Vol on/off (remove your FS8 assignment to Vol)

- save the preset with Wah OFF and Vol ON (or vice versa)

 

Now each depression of the Toe Switch will toggle the Wah/Vol FX so that one will always be active, and both will be controlled by the pedal movement.

Oh, I did not realize that the exp toe switch is not only a selectable switch, but also turns the pedal from exp1 into exp2. I though that exp2 is _always_ the connector for the second expression pedal.
