JonX Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Hi, I want to use the Firehawk while it stands on a table, but i still want access to the expression pedal features. Is it correct to think that an external pedal (pedal 2) will solve this? Meaning that it will be possible to control with it the Wah, Volume and all the stomp-boxes parameters, without using the internal pedal. thanks, JonX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varialogue1 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Jonx, my understanding is that there would be certain limitations. If you have a 2nd expression hooked up, the Firehawk detects it and automatically assigns a function to it. If you look at the manual it states that in volume/wah mode your second pedal would control volume and the onboard expression pedal would control the wah. I haven't tried myself but the manual doesn't suggest that these functions can be swapped. You can merely turn the wah off on the onboard expression pedal. In tweak mode, your second pedal would control the fx tweak/parameter and the onboard pedal can switch between volume and wah. If you are not going to use the onboard pedal it doesn't appear that you can control the wah unless I'm missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonX Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 I also read the section that you referred to in the pilot's guide, but it got me confused, so I downloaded the app to see what it meant, and I was actually able to assign the wah into a pedal, took a screenshot to show you what I mean (not connected to the firehawk, i don't own it). still, I don't understand to which pedal it is "assigned". wouldn't it work if i choose "TWEAK With Pedal 2" option? Also, can't assign the volume parameters, but I will be able to choose the "WAH/VOLUME With Pedal 2" and than get control over that, is that right?

Varialogue1 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Yeah I think you have found a practical way to assign the fx tweak of the wha to the 2nd pedal. If you have a second pedal connected it automatically assigns the fx tweak to it, if you put it in that mode. I don't quite see how you can assign wha/volume to the 2nd pedal. How do you think that can be done as volume and wha is split between the 2 pedals if no fx tweak is assigned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonX Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Pedal 2 function: Volume --> pedal mode:WHA/VOL --> default for pedal 2 Pedal 2 function: Wha --> pedal mode:TWEAK --> Wha is assigned as FX tweak Pedal 2 function: any FX parameter (stomps) --> pedal mode:TWEAK --> FX parameter is assigned as FX tweak Can someone confirm this please? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
