ahutchinson Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Hi guys, After messing around for a bit I finally found the toe switch to change from volume to wah - on my pedal it was super hard to hit for a while, but it's not too bad now. But now I'm baffled. How the hell do you change to wah without turning the pedal up to full volume while doing so? I must be missing something, because as it is, it's absolutely unusuable. I'm playing with the volume at about 50%, but to get to wah, I have to press fully down on the pedal, turning it to 100% before I get the wah setting. How is this usable? What am I doing wrong here?

robertgoddard Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Unfortunately, it's something you'll have to deal with unless you're willing to change the way you think of your signal path. For years before any modelling, I've always put the volume pedal as the first part of my signal chain. This way I can control the "gain" into the OD/distortion pedal or amp, similar to using the guitar volume knob. I've found that I never use the wah pedal unless I'm full on anyways (solos and what not). So using the wah right after going to full volume... makes sense. The standard way most, if not all, of the presets in the unit have the volume pedal after the overdrive/distortion/amp stage, which i find to be a horrible idea. There is also the fact that you can limit the volume to 50% if you use the app and set max volume level. Touch the Volume block and slide the max volume down to you preferred level and you're good to go. This may be the answer you were actually looking for.

ahutchinson Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 Ah, setting max position on volume - that fixes it! Also fixes the super sensitivity I was having with the volume pedal. Two birds with one stone - thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure to check out this YouTube videos showing a fix for the way toe switch issue. I couldnt almost never engage my wah until I did this repair/fix on mine. Hard to believe but its almost a must if you need to use the wah: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
