HX Effects - no "OFF" feature for Stomp Select menu

[studioleibniz]

Hi, I have a HX Stomp and a HX Effects, both updated to v3.80.
On my HX Stomp, under Global Settings/Stomp Select, I have 4 options : Off - Touch - Press - Touch+Press
On my HX Effects, the "Off" feature is missing.

I use the HX Effects in stomp mode and this is driving me crazy because FS4 and FS5 seem to be extremely sensitive to touch and are always displaying the stomp parameters instead of my custom name.
It is especially infuriating on presets where I assigned these footswitches to looper functions in the command center...

No problem on my HX stomp since I can set this to "Off".

Is there a workaround to this or is it just a forgotten feature for the HX Effects ? (Putting it to press does the same : a menu pops up when pressed).

 

Thanks for your help !

I'd suggest to contact support and ask them.

Hi,

 

I don't have a HXFX, but I just checked my  Helix Floor and the Capacitive Footswitch options are: Off -Touch - Press - Touch+Press, as you stated is the case with your HX Stomp. 

 

AFAIK, all the main Firmware is the same across the range, other than the FX is minus Amps & Cabs obviously.

 

Have you tried a Global Reset on your HX Effects? Hold down FS4 & FS6 while turning on the power.

 

You can also Restore your Global Settings from the backup you made with HX Edit prior to updating the firmware to v.3.80.0

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.
