Pod Go Wah jumps to full volume even if exp 2 is turned down.

Hi folks, hoping someone can help. I don't like using the onboard pedal for Wah and volume because you have to turn the volume up to full before you can press the tow switch to activate the Wah (so no funky rhythm playing). So I'm using an external volume (expression) pedal on exp 2. This works great as the external pedal as a minimum volume so I can set rhythm and lead levels.

 

However, moving the onboard pedal doesn't do anything until I activate the tow switch and the Wah is activated: but.... As soon as I activate the Wah the setting for the external pedal is bypassed and the volume jumps to full. So basically I have the same issue that I can't play funky rhythm with the Wah on as the volume goes to full.

 

Any idea how I can stop that happening?

Change the Wah activation to a footswitch?

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm using all of the footswitches. I can't understand why it does it as the pedal isn't used a volume control when exp 2 is used.

They absolutely can be used at the same time, unless you remove the internal Exp2 pedal as a controller for the volume pedal block.

Hi, sorry I think you've misunderstood me. I'm using an external pedal for volume and the on board pedal for Wah; however I have found the fix!

 

It seems the volume pedal (even when an external pedal is connected) has a toe switch setting. The Wah pedal (which shows up as a different pedal on the Pod Go) also has a toe switch to activate it. The answer was to disable the toe switch for the volume pedal.
