Set Up Wah Autoengage on External Expression Pedal in EXP3?

[ucnick]

I'd like to run an external expression pedal in EXP3 to control wah blocks to allow onboard expression pedal to be dedicated to volume control only. Can an external expression pedal in EXP3 be set to autoengage, and if so how? Thanks!

Yep... The instruction for the Auto Engage feature are buried in the firmware release notes for 2.10.

 

- Press MENU and then Knob 1 (Bypass Assign). Turn Knob 1 (Switch) to select the desired switch. When selecting a continuous controller as a switch, Knob 2 (Position) and Knob 3 (Wait) appear.

- Bypass Assign > Position—Position determines the location in the Exp Pedal or Variax knob’s travel where the block is engaged. For example, if set to 1%, the block will turn off as soon as the pedal is moved to the heel position. If set to 99%, the block will only turn on when the pedal is moved to the toe position. To swap the on/off state regardless of position, press the BYPASS button.

- Bypass Assign > Wait—Wait determines how long it takes after the Exp Pedal or

Variax Knob is moved below the Position location before the block turns off.

Once again, you've helped me out - thanks! But truth be told, I didn't read all the documentation for all the FW releases... when I get a chance I'll look through them. Thanks again!

I got this working for EXP2, but it fails to work for my External Pedal EXP3. Any ideas?

It works exactly the same way for all the expression inputs, so I’m not sure. Make sure you have both the control and the bypass assignment set correctly.
