HD500X understanding footswitch LED with multi effect assignment

hello,

I am new here and need some help.

 

I have made a patch with an effect before the amp and one effect after the amp.

Then I assigned the pre effect (turned off) and the post effect (turned on) to footswitch 1 (toogle mode).

After saving, the footswitch LED is off !!

I would expect that the footswitch LED would lit, because the post effect was turned on while saving.

But no it does not, the LED only lit depending on the status of the pre effect.

I do not get it work that the footswich LED lits depending on the Status of the post effect.

 

any Suggestions ?

 

best regards

 

Mario

Was the LED for the footswitch ON when you saved the patch?

 

I can't remember whether the LED status is affected by the order the fx appear within the chain OR whether it is affected by whether it is ON/OFF when you assign the last fx to it.  Something in the back of my mind tells me that it is controlled by the order they appear in the patch. Can't double check at the moment.

 

I know that when I have done this, I normally have set the FX to the one I want ON by default when I switch to the patch, (in other words - saved the patch with the fx I want ON actually ON and the other one OFF),  then when I press the footswitch it toggles that one off and toggles ON the 2nd fx.   I don't usually worry about whether the LED is ON or OFF when the patch is saved, and whether it is ON or OFF when I then re-select the patch.  I just know that if I press the selected FS that it will toggle between the 2 fx I have assigned to it.  So whether it is ON first and the goes OFF, or whether it is OFF first and then comes ON, it doesn't really bother me as it still toggles one fx off and one on.

many thanks for your help.

 

for my use it is not the best solution that the LED is fix determined by the first effect in the chain.

I would prefer that I could select by myself to which FX the LED is determined, but it is not that dramatic that I cannot live with it.

 

Anyway many thanks again for your help.
