Really Basic, well I think, question

[regalpierot]

Really hoping someone can help. Only had the unit a week and really happy thus far. I've managed to work out how to assign a block to a footswitch (if you can't do that with how simple the workflow made it you are probably a drummer :) )

 

But is it possible to assign a specific setting change to a footswitch instead of just a block on\off. For example, I have one preset built that is working perfectly for me. During a certain part of the performance though I want to raise the drive setting on the amp (so say from 2 to 4.5), I don't want to try and do it with the control mapped to an expression pedal as to me that's too fraught with getting it wrong at the exact moment I need to change back and forth, so would love to lock in a footswitch to engage and kick the gain to a locked in 4.5, then disengage brings the gain back to 2.

 

Really appreciate any advice.

It is really simple once you know how.

 

Just press the menu and then the controller assign button (next to the footswitch assign one you know already)

 

Then select the amp block with the joystick (if its not already selected) - and use knob 1 to choose the drive parameter of the amp, and knob 2 to choose which footswitch you wish to assign it to.  Then set the max and min values as 4.5 and 2...  Done :-)

Top man ricksteruk, really appreciate it mate

That worked perfectly. For some reason I also thought maybe a control and a simple activate\deactivate couldn't exist mapped to the same footswitch but low and behold, I now have a single switch that Macros to switching one effect on, a second off, and boosting the drive level then reversing all that when un-engaged. Love this unit so much.

 

While I have the 'probably easy answer' thread open so don't want to take up valuable space with one more probably stupid question. I have two external expression pedals, both Boss FL500s running into FS2 and FS4. One operates as normal but for the one that is taking the FS2 function away from the onboard expression pedal and acting as a volume is seems somehow reversed. Pedal up sets volume to max, pedal down sets volume to minimum so I'm goofing swells like nobody's business. Is there a setting to reverse that back to the normal way a volume pedal would control max\min volume. Cheers.

Glad you're sorted with the footswitch assign :)

 

As for the volume problem - it sounds strange to me... but I wonder if this may help...

 

- Select the Volume block that is acting weird with the Joystick, hit menu and choose "Controller Assign".  

Normally the min is set to 0% and the max is at 100%.

- If your pedal is somehow working backwards, try setting min to 100% and max to 0%

 

Good Luck!

Thanks mate, will give that a try this evening. Logically, it sounds like that is undoubtedly the issue. Fingers crossed, muscle memory was having me fade out when I should have faded in and vice versa and the results were not amazing.
