dawg2k5 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Having an issue getting my wah (exp 1) on some presets, others it works fine The ones it doesn't work in, the expression pedal isn't changing the values at all on the wah block, even though it's assigned correct to exp 1. Any ideas on this? I've even tried copying and pasting blocks I know that are fine from other presets in to the ones I'm having issues with and still no go.

codamedia Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 1: Are you sure the Wah Block has the appropriate assignments? 2: Are you sure your expression pedal is actually set to (controlling) EXP 1? I know those both appear as obvious assumptions, but I have to ask because it's usually the obvious that gets over looked.. especially #2.

What happens when you clear the controllers and reassign them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pedal isn't even modifying any of the parameters. When I move it with my foot you should be able to see the mix bar move....in some of these presets when I move the pedal nothing is happening...

rsvette12 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Not saying this is the issue but I played with this button see if this helps - each preset is different from what I am seeing - sometimes I have to hit this button on or off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An off block doesn't do anything. 29 minutes ago, dawg2k5 said: Same thing. The pedal isn't even modifying any of the parameters.

What block is the wah suppose to be on? I don't see a wah listed anywhere. I see a volume pedal, a Red Squeeze, a Chorus, a Twin Amp (double), vintage digital delay, and a reverb.

codamedia Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 It's never easy deciphering a json document compared to actually loading a patch, but a couple things caught my eye... The wah is in Block 1, and at no point in that preset is Block 1 engaged. Not when loaded, and not in any snapshot It is set to be controlled by controller 1.... but not assigned to any buttons. Also, Block 1 "overthresh" is set to false... that indicates to me that the controller cannot auto engage the effect. I guess my big question is... how are you turning the wah on when it appears (in the json document) that nothing is assigned to turn it on?

dawg2k5 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 It looks like it set correctly (same as other presets that are working fine) nothing happens when i move the pedal on this one though. I at a loss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilrahi Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Okay, it largely worked straight out of the shoot once I'd corrected my global settings to match what I thought you were trying to do. Just to confirm: Wah: Expression Pedal 1 controls position. Expression Pedal 1 deactivates wah when it reaches 5% position (you mentioned that it wasn't controlling the position, but is it doing the bypass as you want?). Volume: Expression pedal 2 controls volume. Footswitch 5 controls volume block bypass. Just to confirm something for me, what type of expression pedal(s) are you using?

Can you confirm the following settings: Global Settings > Preferences 1. Exp/FS Tip set to Expression Pedal 1. 2. Exp/FS Ring set to Expression Pedal 2. Bypass Assign Menu (Press both page buttons simultaneously and then press knob 1. 1. Assign the switch parameter of volume pedal and pan blocks to "none." 2. Assign the switch parameter of wah and pitch wham blocks to "Exp 1." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
