Assigning 2 Blocks to One FS - LED and Screen Question

[gpicard5]

Good Morning. So I am using the HX Stomp and Live I am switching between the Regal DI and the Mandarin as the last block in my signal path. One of the 2 will always be on so I setup FS3 so that in one state the Regal is active and then when the FS is pressed the Regal shuts off and the Mandarin becomes active. However, when doing this, When I switch to the Mandarin even though it is active and the Regal is not, The screen stays on the Regal and the LED stays yellow and dims. 

 

Ideally, I'd like the screen to display whichever block is active or at a minimum I'd like the LED to be brightly lit either Yellow when the Regal is active or Red when the Mandarin is active. Is this possible?

Hi,

 

Here ya go - 2 amps, 1 FS, HX Stomp.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

If you mean the LED rings there's a setting:

Global Settings>Displays>LED Rings Dim/Brt.

The color of the LED Ring is assignable in Bypass/Controller Assign, but it will be one or the other, the color won't toggle.

Which active effect causes the ring to be bright or dim can be changed by touching the switch if Global Settings>Preferences>Footswitches>Stomp Select is set to TOUCH or BOTH.                 

 

If you mean the blocks in the signal chain I don't know of any way to do that. The active Block is always bright.

@datacommando- as sometimes happens we were posting at the same time and you hit SAVE first, so when I saved your post appeared.

I watched the video which is not very helpful regarding the OP's question. Dude is basically winging it and filming the video at the same time.

Somehow he seems to have both amps using different colors and I can't figure out how.

Can you?

I got this to work using snapshots assigned to a footwitch, but still can't do it using a footswitch alone.

Attached preset shows how I did it.

Ah, ha, - that will teach me to watch a video all the way to the end. 
 

From what I did see, while he was switching between the Architype Clean and Lead blocks they were still using the stock LED colours for Amps. It looks like at some stage he decided to add a trem block to one of the amps making the FS a “multiple” assignment and it picked up on the LED Blue from the Mod block. 
 

I’m not sure how that functions on the HX Stomp, but on my Helix floor when you add/merge another effect to a FS, the “Scribble Strip” will display “Multiple”. There is then an option to “Customise” the FS text and LED display to suit whatever you want it to show.

 

Once again, it would appear you have come to the rescue by building a preset for the OP. Almost like the Lone Ranger!

 

Hi ho Silver away!

Thanks. Does that make you Tonto? ;-)

Tonto usually saves the LR's bacon, but gets his butt kicked a lot.

Considering the grief I got over on TGF I'm feeling more like Tonto lately!

 

At around 2:40 in the video, before he adds the trem, you can see him switching the amps. It looks like his clean amp is using the stock RED (DIM), but the lead amp is using another color. Maybe it's just the way his camera shows the red when it's LIT?

In case you missed this in my reply to @datacommando, here it is again.

The attached example preset uses snapshots assigned to a stomp fs.

Best I could do, hope it works for you!

I think the colour shift is probably due to the video.

 

Lol, oh yeah, the Lone Deranger and Pronto. 
 

Happy trails Kimono Scabby.
