panzer8 Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Please add the possibility to assign a long press function to the switches. For example, long press FS1 to tune, short press to enable a booster, long press FS2 to go to looper mode, short press FS2 to chorus. It will double the usability of this great little unit! I think it's not so hard to implement that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil_m Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 The reason they haven't implemented it is that in order to do it, it would mean that the short press things would have to be triggered on the footswitch release rather than the press. It's not completely a dealbreaker, as other manufacturers do this. But it might be something people would have to get used to. It would also mean having a momentary option for footswitches wouldn't be possible for switches with a long press function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzer8 Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 Thank you for your reply Phil. I think the trigger on release could be an option or the default when the user associates a long press to a button. For normal operations, the difference should be very subtle. I didn't know you can associate momentary option. Great option too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varziy Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I don't see why they couldn't do this. The new AxeFX FM3 has it and it's super useful. Long press to access another bank of switches or to get to the tuner. Hell, even my Zoom multi-effects pedal has it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
