How to get two delay settings on one footswitch

[Gsusreigns]

Hi Guys,

 

I've searched around and can't seem to find an answer to this.  I'm trying to get a 1/4 and dotted 8th delay on one switch, so that when I hit the switch I can turn both off at the same time.  I've had this thing for a long time but have never tried assigning two FX to one switch  :blink: Thanks

Try using the stereo delay.. R set to 1/4 and L set to .8th. Then place a mono effect after (like a compressor set to not compress or the noise gate set super low)it to sum it to mono.

I'm a little confused about what you want to achieve. Do you want to assign two delay blicks to the same switch so that when you hit the switch they both turn off? If so, that can be done easily. Just assign both delays to the same switch.

 

If you want to the function of the switch to alternate between 1/4 and dotted 8th, there would be two ways. Assign both delays (one 1/4 and the other dotted 8th) to the same switch, disable one of them, then save the patch. The state of the LED is determined by which delay appears first in the chain.

 

Another way would be to figure out the exact millisecond values you need for the 1/4 and dotted 8th. Turn off the tempo sync, and assign the time parameter to one of the expression controllers. The expression pedal would then effectively go between 1/4 and dotted 8th, heel down and toe down, or vice-versa. The only problem with this is when you set the min and max values, they are displayed in percentages, which means precision could be an issue. Each percentage correlates to 19.8ms.

I don't know how to assign two delays to the same switch (or two of any effects to the same switch).  So yes that's what I'm trying to accomplish.

I will try this too, thanks!

In the edit software, go to the controllers tab, select the model, then FS assign. Do this for both delay blocks.

 

On the device, select the block you want assign to a footswitch, hold the enter key, and use encoder 1 to select the footswitch. Hit view to exit FS assign mode.

P.S. I'm using the HD editor on the mac.  I

Ah it's so simple, haha.  Thanks!  I've never used anything other than the FX and Amps tabs.  I really need to dig into this thing.  Got a new tele so that's why I'm motivated to dial it in right.  Thanks again!

Glad to help.

For future reference - you can also turn one on while turning the other off with one foot switch.
