Blueman826 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I'm having a footswitch issue with my HX Stomp. I recently bought a Boss FS-6 dual footswitch to add additional switches to my unit but I seem to be having an odd problem. I have the footswitch in latched mode and everything assigned properly but when I press the footswitch the light turns on and nothing happens. When I press it a second time the block I've assigned turns on but the footswitch light goes off again. When using momentary mode on the footswitches it seems to work though I don't have the light indication on the footswitch to tell me if it's on or off easily. This seems consistent with each other as it has something to do with two signals activating a block (turning latch mode on/off = two signals, pressing momentary = two since it's pressed on and off very quickly). I have it connected with a short TRS cable so both footswitches "work", but not necessarily as intended and I can only functionally use it in momentary mode. I think I've seen this issue being discussed in a few Youtube comment sections but I haven't been able to find anything on the forums yet about this. Is the FS-6 just not compatible with the HX Stomp? If anybody has any insights into the issue that would be amazing. EDIT: Solved! I had to change the bypass mode of the block to "momentary" instead of "latched" even when the Boss footswitch is set to latched. Works perfectly.

phil_m Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Kind of confused by your solved part, but the Stomp really should only work with momentary footswitches. You can make them work like latching footswitches by choosing that behavior in the Stomp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
