HX Stomp FS4 identifies as Exp1

[columbo2]

Hi Stompers,

since updating firmware, my FS4 of an external footswitch identifies as an expression pedal, despite being set as Stomp 4 in the global settings.  Is this an issue with the firmware?  Or am i being silly? I’m pretty sure the footswitch and cable are behaving correctly.

thanks!

When you say it identifies as FS4, how are you seeing this play out? What's happening, exactly?

Hi Phil, thanks for the reply.

so, I have a dual footswitch connected via a TRS to the exp jack on the stomp.

FS5, set as Stomp 5 in the global settings behaves as expected.

FS4 on the other hand does not.  It is set to Stomp 4 on the global settings.  If i set bypass assign manually on a block  to FS4, nothing happens.  If I try to set it via “learn” it reads as EXP1, not FS4.

 

I hope that’s clear enough.  Cheers, PJ

There are two sets of Global Settings that affect the external footswitches. There's one in "Preferences" as well as "Footswitches". You have to make sure you have EXP/FS Tip set to Footswitch 4 as well as selecting what you want FS4 to do.

That’s the one!  Preferences. Missed that. 

Thanks for your help!
