ribribeiro Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Hi, I'm thinking it would be useful to have an external pedal used for boosting the volume whenever needed. So I could assign it to the volume of the output patch or something (I want a pure clean boost). Without wasting any blocks (my presets are generally full already), can anyone think of a way to visualize that the external footswitch is on? I'm thinking if I can assign it to the output volume and also some color setting or something like that, then I will know it's on. I just don't know of any visual setting that can be changed with FS 4/5. Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 The Stomp has no way to power an LED through that jack, so you'd need a footswitch with its own power supply. The Boss FS-6 or FS-7 would do that. The main potential issue with that is that if you change presets or snapshots while the footswitch's LED is lit, it would be easy for things to get misaligned.

ribribeiro Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 Thanks. What I meant was changing something in the Stomp display. Like if I could change something that's getting displayed (say change a color or something), then I'd know the pedal is on. External footswitches need to be momentary anyway, so having an LED on them would be tricky. Also because of what you said. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the color of the block in the little signal flow on the top part of the screen does change in Play View. It's small enough, though, that it's probably not all that helpful.

ribribeiro Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 Yeah, but as I said, I don't want to use a whole block for boosting. I just want to use it to increase the level of the output block. Could I change the color of the output block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacifist86 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 @ribribeiro - curious if you ever found a solution to this? I had a similar thought today, wondering if I could change the color of one of the built in rings when pressing an external footswitch (FS7/8 on Stomp XL). If possible, that would give a visual indicator or when I've boosted my output block by 3 dB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
