Volume Pedal Issues

I have a volume block set up and I'm setting it to Exp1 (I know, opposite of what they do by default), and my Wah is Exp2 (Mission Eng).  The issue that I am having is that when I do this and set up the volume and even watch it work the range 0% to 100% as it should, save it, go to another patch, and when I come back it's crazy loud, like it doesn't honor the pedal position.

 

Worse yet, then when I do move the pedal on that patch, the first 10% seems to be 90% of the volume!  In other words, its almost like there is NO volume pedal, just an on-off.

 

I got frustrated and walked away for the time being, but anyone have any thoughts?

The first thing is related to the "EXP Pedal Position" parameter under the Footswitches page of the Global Settings menu. If you have it set to "per preset", the parameter(s) you're controlling will be wherever it was when you saved the preset (which is what is happening in your case). The other option is to set this to "Global". This way the parameter(s) being controlled by the expression pedal will reflect the current position of the pedal when you load a preset.

 

The second issue sounds like you probably have the Curve parameter for the volume pedal block set to linear. Try setting it to Logarithmic. I find that to be a much more natural response.

Great tip!

I wasn't aware of that option.

It's bugged the hell out of me too :)
