sominator Posted June 3, 2025 Share Posted June 3, 2025 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveaphotopod Posted September 11, 2025 Share Posted September 11, 2025 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pott24 Posted October 27, 2025 Share Posted October 27, 2025 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.

Did you ever figure this out, or just give up? Sorry for the late reply--I didn't receive a notification about your message! I think it may have been user error, resolved by very kind and patient Line 6 support. IIRC, I had confused "Effects On/Off" (Teal) with "Modulation On/Off" (Blue) in the Global Settings, hence the issue. Maybe try revisiting those in the POD Express Black and see if you've had the same issue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
