Having trouble getting POD Express dual footswitch to work

Hello!

 

I purchased a Sonicake dual footswitch to pair with my POD Express.  It comes with a TRS cable, and I changed the POD Express global settings to work with it:

  • Setting 3 (Volume Jack) set to white (FS3/FS4)
  • Setting 6 (FS3) to blue (mod on/off)
  • Setting 7 (FS4) to green (delay on/off)

 

Despite these changes, the Sonicake still acts like a single footswitch, turning the "On" button on and off, with no other functionality.

 

Does anyone have experience with or a solution for this?

 

Thanks!

Apologies for getting your hopes up, but I don't have a solution, but I also experienced something similar on the POD Express Black. I changed 3 and 4 to delay/reverb and mod and it actually worked fine. But if I choose presets, it bounces up and down. It goes from one to the next and then....a random one?? 

Did you ever figure this out, or just give up?

I have a similar switch, the Hotone one, and it works flawlessly. 

You want to make sure that you got a Momentary switch (not latching), connected through a TRS cable, and that the Global Settings are indeed as you specify (but double-check; a factory reset may have changed your settings).

I only run tests with a connected POD Express (phone, PC, doesn't matter), so that I can monitor what happens without needing to hear the sound. There is no indicator on the POD unit when you turn Effects on/off, so I look at the individual blocks as I use the footswitch on POD Express Edit.
