Turnining on one effect & switching one off?

[Antman74]

Hi

 

Last night (in a rush) I was trying to create a patch where I have a Phaser and Distortion pedal in the chain. Now....I couldn't quickly work out how to set it up so when say the phaser is on...I can then hit the distortion pedal (or another fs footswitch) which would then automatically turn off the phaser?

 

Do you have to assign pedals to footswitches in a certain order (i.e as you create or add the effect to the chain)?.

 

I'm sure this can be acheived and would open up some nice patches for me.

Hi

 

This is easier to to in Edit than on the Pod itself. All you need to do is

 

• assign both effects to the same foot switch under the controller tab
• make sure one of the effects, say your phaser, is switched on and the other one, distortion, is off under the effects tab.

Now when you hit the foot switch the phaser will switch off and the distortion will switch on.

 

Cheers

Thanks zaphodboy

 

I'll give this a bash tonight. I was using the Edit software (as always) but thought you had to assign one pedal per FS as a multi function.

 

Thanks for the advice

 

Oh....if the say the 2 effects are on one switch....how would you then turn them BOTH off?.

Also, the effect that is first in the chain will determine the state of the LED.

You don't. Unless you have them set to both turn on and off at the same time. 

You are trying to turn one on while the other off at the same time. Turning them both off doesn't happen.

You'll need two buttons to get this kind of control:

off-off

on-off

off-on

and then you'll get on-on for free.

 

With one button you get either:

on-on, off-off,

or

on-off, off-on

1. that's two buttons. If he wanted that, couldn't he just use two buttons as individual on/off buttons? 

 

2. Can you assign the same feature to multiple switches? I have uses for that if you can.

1) He specifically wanted one footswitch press to do two things so no.

 

2) I'm pretty sure you can though I've never tried. THIS IS WRONG. YOU CANNOT!!

You can assign multiple effects to a single footswitch, but not mutiple footswitches to a single effect, which would come in handy.

Hey Antman74,

 

If you are not in pedalboard mode, switching to a new patch would be one footswitch at a time, even though you did say "a patch".  :)

 

But you probably knew that already.

It's cool to know you can do this (turn one effect/pedal on and one effect/pedal off) with 1 switch.  I was actually just wondering this myself last night.   :)

If you have two side by side switches set for one per FX, e.g. 5 and 6 (in 5-8 mode obviously) then you can switch both FX on and off individually, but also because the switches are so close together it is really easy to hit both switches together and get the toggle effect...
